We’ve been cleaning up the basement today getting ready for our Halloween party and planning where we’re going to put the pool table, couch, and a few other things we’ve acquired. When everything shook down we came to the conclusion that we need a bar. My Dad has a bar, and he doesn’t use it: that doesn’t stop me from thinking ours is going to get used extensively. This is our plan, against the far wall in our family room we are going to attach a piece of cheap laminate counter top (because, we are after all, young and broke ) starting approximately 3 foot from the wall running 6 feet. To the right of the counter top will go my 1952 GE Combination fridge. We aren’t planning on putting cabinets under the counter top, but instead using heavy duty shelving brackets. We’ll then place a corresponding counter on top of a series of cabinets set 3 foot from the other counter top to form the bar. Under the counters will hide a mini-fridge, trash/recycling, stereo reciever and DVR, computer. The computer will be hooked to a 15 inch touch screen that will sit on the bar and run a touchscreen jukebox, playing through the polk TSI500 speakers. The DVR will also be able to play through surround sound, and will display on the 46 inch Hyundai TV hanging above the bar on the back wall. Shelving around the TV for our booze collection and shelves below for glassware should round it out. I will begin snapping pictures as it comes together over the next few days.
