Wet Bar Under The Stairs


In order to convince my husband that we should turn our family room wet bar into a home office space, I have to prove that there was a better location for our beer fridge and wine rack.

Luckily, I know just the spot...






Under the stairs in our kitchen is a closet and a very small desk that basically becomes the dumping ground for all our clutter. (I cleaned it up for you :)) The printer takes up all the surface space, so no one really works at the desk.





If we were to have built-ins in the family room that could accommodate the printer and store the paper clutter behind closed doors, we could turn this space into a beverage center.

Perhaps something like this ...

There are plenty of stylish options...

Call me crazy, but I think it makes much more sense to have a bar in the kitchen, where you pour drinks over the hardwood floor rather than the carpeted family room. Don't you?

I'm looking forward to my meeting with the cabinet maker next week. Crossing my fingers that he can work with my champagne taste and my beer budget :)

Happy Hump Day!!

  1. can't wait to see! we actually had a washer dryer space in our den in a little closet that we turned into our wet bar...I love it..just put in some upper cabinets and a very cool antique credenza below and it's just the perfect space for it!

  3. What a great idea Carolyn. I like that first one a lot, but they're all great. And yes, better than pouring the drinks on carpet. Can't wait to see what you come up with. I know it will be fantastic.
