I used the "how to build" from the Shepherd Kitchen Island plan to help me create my own dimensions for this bar... 60" long, 24" deep, 35" high. It has a space on the left for an under counter ice maker and the wine rack is built in inside the right hand cabinet.
The counter top is plywood covered with a sheet of zinc I bought from rotometals. Fairly easy to do after watching their videos on how to apply and how to patina.

Estimated Cost
$450
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
General Finishes Milk Paint. Used 2 coats of the color Driftwood, then sealed with a coat of poly. Then applied 2 coats of the color Snow White and distressed. The poly helps keep you from going straight down to bare wood when sanding.
