Full Service Bar for Small Space Home

Hi Ana,

 

I've been loving your site(s) for a few years, but finally decided to become a member because of this one piece of furniture I just had to request.  I just moved a few months ago, and even though my new home has no built-ins, less wall space, and fewer square feet, my boyfriend really wants to add a dedicated bar area to the house.  After looking at all of my favorite furniture sites, I found something perfect (two things, actually).  Both are at Pottery Barn, and either one would require me to go back into credit card debt with good old PB if I were to purchase.  Then I started looking at all of the pictures on the PB website to try to figure out if I could make my own.  The thing is, I think it's possible to make either one, but I sure could use a professional opinion on exactly how.

 

The first piece is the Pottery Barn Modine Bar:

The second is the Pottery Barn Randolf Bar:

My experience level is low, but my enthusiasm is high!  This weekend will be my first full-scale, start-to-finish furniture project.  My boyfriend and I will be making some version of storage bed base to slide under our giant space-wasting king size bed.  Should be a pretty special experience.  I'll try to remember to take pictures, and maybe even post if it comes out presentable.

 

Yours truly,

Amy
