Basement Bar COMPLETE!!!!

Post by brewnewb »

Today, after countless trips to Home Depot / Lowes, design changes, special orders and a few curveballs, we finished up our bar.

Below are some progression pics but we basically filled in a 13 x 10 nook in our basement and put in a bar. Hope y'all like it.

Bare studs

Image

Finished walls, added plumbing and electric, replaced flooring with laminate

Image

Added back counter cabinets

Image

Framed a front bar

Image

Added wall cabinets, some tile and refridge arrived early

Image

Trimmed out bar front with weathered barn board

Image

Had a local lumber dealer make all the tops out of hard maple, stained ebony with a satin finish

Image

Image

Grabbed a few bar stools

Image

Had a guy on etsy.com build me a custom tap tower

Image

We installed the sink and tower today and are now complete.
