Recycled Bar (Part 2)
I started blogging about this bar in a different entry.
To continue...
After my husband and I made the basic skeleton of our new bar, and after we put in the liquor cabinet, we decided that the front of the bar had to have a rustic look. The theme of the reck room that the bar is in is "the Dragon's Lair" so a new bar wouldn't fit in.
My husband decided to come up with a substantial looking bar. Here's what it looks like - Keep in mind that we have since stained the wood.
All of the wood that is on the front is recycled. The pattern was really very simple. The style matches the look we were going for to a tee. This bar would have cost us a small fortune if we had tried to buy one, or even more if we would have had one custom made for us. BUT... Crafters know the golden rule. Why have someone else make something when you can make it yourself? And most of the time, you save lots of money by doing the work. Not to mention the sentimental value.
