Liquor Cabinet Reveal
Straight from the mouth of a great entertainer...
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. ~Frank Sinatra
First off let me opologize for the crazy amount of pictures in this post! I am just super proud of this one...and it took alot to make it so pretty!
I picked up this very retro credenza from a little sale at a church down the street for pennies...literally? I knew for that cheep, I couldn't leave him there...So my little brain got to storming, and I came up with a liquor bar...Who doesn't want one of these huh?
It originally had sliding doors on the bottom half, and didn't want to keep them, so I covered the tracks with a thin molding...(gorilla glue and brad nails)
He started out this ucky brown....
and ended up a stylish black...
next came all the good inside stuff...(out of order a bit, but you'll get the idea)I added a wine glass hanger thingy to one side
and after the installation...
Then I built a little removable serving tray out of the old sliding door...
and a cheapy wood frame, butchered down to size...
I added some sleek chrome handles (missed a couple pics sorry)here is the end result...
Next was the trying part...I couldn't figure out for the life of me how I wanted to add the wine rack...until my hubby came to the rescue one day (superman theme and all)...We were cruising around the local salvation army, and he spotted this collapsible thing...
I swear I heard angels sing..."He really does listen when I rant and rave" When we got it home, he cut it down to size, and voila...fits like a glove!
after a few coats of satin black...
After all is said and done...and if you notice I had to use my decorative "old" bottles to stage this piece...because the process was a bit stressful, and all of my wine came in handy for my nerves...lol
I've been away for a week or two...but I promise, I'm workin on stuff...so my absence is worth it :)I'm linking up to

My goshes!! What a terrific transformation!!
It only goes to show you that an old piece of furniture does not need to be "thrown out" like so many people do and can be saved and turned into something just gorgeous!!
Hats off to you!!
Debbie
It sure was a yucky brown! It looks like a upscale piece from EA now...nice job Nikki, and thanks for joining in!!~

What a transformation... you really made a GREAT custom piece.. enjoy it!
How stinkin' clever! I bought a new bar, own a bar, love having a bar, BUT am working on a much larger dresser transformation that will be a new (old) bar. (How does this make sense?!) Anyway, I have been trying to figure out how to get the rack built too and this is a great idea! Thanks so much!!! Wish me luck...

That's amazing! I don't think I ever could've had that much vision for the original piece. You did an outstanding job, I love it!!!
Very creative turning that cabinet into a little bar. Very nice.
Fabulous Reno!!!
I'm so jealous!
First off, the piece was such a find and then the way it was transformed: brilliant!
Great find and even better re-do!
WOW!!! Great score...plus a fantastic job making it what it is now!
Excellent work! I love it.
OK! This is over the top creative. Maybe one day I too will see such grand visions! You are blessed that your husband will cruise the thrift shops. My husband is very excited about what I am doing so I am crossing my fingers that he too will come with me some day!
OK, you are really crafty and creative. I'm gonna have to follow to see what you do next. Lovin' all the projects.
After your latest post, I just had to see more, and now I am in awe. This is...beyond words.
I am now a follower.
