How to work furniture around an oversized wet bar in family room
I have an oversized wet bar in our lower level family room with cabinets attached to upper wall behind the bar that takes up almost half of the space. I would like to somehow down size the bar without removing it as the water pipes would then be exposed. Any suggestions on how to blend with seating area since this is mainly used as a family room to watch TV and not really used as a bar area. Thank you

Hi Tammy,
Could it be shortened to become a game table area and put a wood plate over the since area and remove the faucets and turn water off?
Could you possible post a picture of this room? It would make suggesting a way to resolve the issue quite a bit easier to see the actual placement of the bar is and where the sink is. Thanks, Tammy!
its the way you place things in room and how bog furniture if you need a professional If in Newark De. For price
Hey, Tammy, is the sink against the wall? Or is it one of the L sides. You could also turn the bar into bookshelves coming from the top of the bar to the floor. It would also give you somewhere to put the grandsons toys after he goes home. Depending on where the sink is, you could cut down the length or width of the bar to make it much smaller.
Check to see if the pipes have any area where they joined with another pipe. If it is close to where the pipe comes out from the wall, you should be able to cap it off after you turn the water off and drain the pipes. The same will have to be done with the pipe leading to dispose of the water. If the pipes are welded or whatever, you may be able to get a plumber to cap it off. If it is threaded pipe, you should be able to get a threaded cap to put on it. If you know someone who knows about plumbing, they will be able to tell you if need a plumber or not. You may want to keep the cupboards that are against the wall. It would make a good place for toys and board games, and many other things for the family room, like DVD's, etc.
Thank you Nancy, I'll check that out.
