Wet Bar Design

The challenge was to create a 'simple' but equally 'facinating' wetbar the client could build by himself in a weekend.

Simple by construction and Facinating by appeal

*Options I considered for this project:

Material and Budget were my utmost priority in the project. I had to carefully design the structure in a way the clien could not only design it in 2 days but also keep the green in his project.

I proposed buying used kitchen base cabinets that could be refinished to the choice of stain we wanted and save a ton of money. We wanted spend that additional savings on selecting material etc

*My motivation to do this project:

I love design challenges. ..."Simple' yet 'facinating'... was something I was looking forward to achieving in my next design project.

Hi Yemani, if I use the tile for the top, thats probably going to knockl out using glass tile for ther front of the counter/bar. ( to many squares ) Any suggestions for front material.
Vertical 4" teak?
Very attractive bar design. The faux wall with the flat screen is a nice touch for seperation from the other room.! Your client must love you!

Jon, You have a few options here, how about a stainless steel counter top with glass mosaic tiles in the front? They both make a very good combination and more over will tie in well with your wood deck. The stainless steel countertops will also be a good choice for easy cleaning and maintenance. I take back the tile suggestion for 2 reasons one for too much grout and the other because you want to use glass mosaic tile in the front. is the pergola above covered or semi covered? Are you also planning for a fire pit in the future?

That combo sounds nice but doesn't blend with the New england dark shingle w/ dry stack stone & column going on with the rest of the house, pool house & new detached 2 car garage .I'll try to post picsof the rest of the property to give you a visual.
I just started using Home Talk so it will take a minute to figure it out
Thanks for the advice.
