Home | Cupboard Makeover Into A Bar | Inspired Yesteryear Eddie Ross

Last week, I came across this postal service past times Eddie Ross - he transformed a useless cupboard into a surgical procedure bar infinite for entertaining.  I had the perfect cupboard to transform - it was inwards our dining room that was used every bit a media cupboard for the previous owners.  

Before : The cupboard (that nosotros had e'er establish awkward as well as pointless) was inwards the dining room, merely held our wireless router as well as audio arrangement for the home.  The cupboard was perfect for Eddie's Closet Makeover - it already had lighting as well as unopen to shelving installed.

I painted the within a lite grayish that has a slight tint of blue... looks amend already!  Notice the file cabinet even as well as thence remains (no where else to seat it!) as well as our wireless router as well as audio arrangement is stashed inwards the retractable tray that in ane lawsuit held their keyboard.  

Here is Mike installing the cubbies for our vino storage shelf.  We installed a hardwood counter overstep (a 4'x2'x2" slice of oak that nosotros stained) as well as accented it alongside a slice of stained baseboard trim.  The number is a thick looking countertop that looks expensive... merely it solely terms $10.   I made a drape out of a slice of natural linen as well as hung it on a drape rod to disguise my files.  

To stock the bar, I added (left to right) linen cocktail napkins that I purchased at an estate sale, a pocket-sized bowl of cashews (I'll shop the entire bowl as well as nuts inwards a large tupperware container to proceed it fresh), my collection of cocktail shakers, as well as a large pewter bowl for iced beers, as well as an H2O ice bucket.

I hung the vino opener on the wall as well as thence we'll e'er endure able to abide by it inwards vino emergencies...  I likewise accept a twosome of argent trays cause to larn for a delivered circular of drinks.   

Done!  Our dining room bar cupboard is consummate - as well as cause for a party.  I am using the cupboard non solely every bit a useful entertaining device, merely every bit a agency to artfully display my collection of glasses.  I honey the agency the pale grayish bluish pigment looks alongside the oak, glasses, argent as well as pewter pieces. 

Thanks for the inspiration, Eddie!
