Building a Bar

I have been steadily working on the new house for some time and I wanted to publish some photos of my current project - the bar. Now the bar I built in my old house was far larger but I spent much less time on it. My hope is that this one will not only be functional, but it would also blend in well with the woodwork.



This first image is of the space that we are putting the bar into. It is next to stairs going up into the rest of the house. The only problem is that the bottom half is a false wall covering the entrance to the crawlspace. This meant that I had to make the bar completely removable if someone needs to get under there.



This is what the bar looks like that I added. I has some problem with the finish on the doors so that will need to be redone but I think it looks good so far. I tried to match the pattern of the walls with the doors but we wanted it darker so it would stand out a bit.



On the inside we wanted to use as a storage space for bar stuff (like cups and shot glasses) so I put in shelves. Not bad looking figuring the entire thing can be removed in under 5 minutes.
