Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers! We are so thankful to have this little corner of the internet to share all our projects and adventures with you. We know its not standard blogger procedure(thats a thing right?) to do a reveal in the middle of a series but what better way to celebrate?! So today we’re giving you a full reveal of the wine bar and all the awesome before & afters.
Before & After
Seeing this blank space for the first time was so exciting! It was like showing up to a blank canvas with all our paints… we just couldn’t wait to dive in! And luckily both Bo and Nicole we open to our all crazy ideas.
Steel Pipe Shelving
We wanted to keep the shelving open to display all their pretty glassware and wine accessories. We considered faux beams, leather brackets, ladder shelves, and a few more but settled on the steel pipes for a more industrial farmhouse vibe.
Plant Love
We added a mix of real and faux plants throughout the wine bar. One request Nicole had for us was a “living wall” and we were happy to accommodate! We combined a few ready made units to give her the look without all the hassle. We also upcycled some old bottles into planters which we filled with succulents. Lastly, we found these glass domes at ikea and combined them with some pre-planted succulents to dress them up a bit.
Cabinets & Wine Racks
They had a handful of cabinets from their initial demo on the kitchen which we gave an update. A bit of paint and new DIY doors and drawer faces(stay tuned for the full tutorial!) . We also built a custom wine rack to add more bottle storage.
DIY Wood Tiles
We shared all the deets on these DIY wood tiles yesterday and we are absolutely obsessed! These came out better than we had even hoped and they make such a statement in this wine bar. This teal blue is everything!
Concrete Countertops
We love concrete! Its a medium we’ve worked with on several projects and even put in our own homes. We were so stoked when Bo showed an interest in putting a concrete countertop in the wine bar. Again, this added to the industrial farmhouse feel.
We had such a great time working with Bo and Nicole and we hope this bar is the hub for many fun nights and sweet memories over the years. And obviously we still have a handful of posts to share with you guys on the remaining projects so stay tuned!
