Raising the Bar {The Reveal}

 

Summer Job #1- Organize the Dry Bar!

Today was such a dreary, rainy day, so I made it my mission to reorganize and stylize the dry bar armoire.

Here is the during. Those who know me know that I despise messes on the counter and states of disarray.

Now, let’s take a look at the dry bar armoire after the “makeover”.

Sneak peek!

Open! Open! Open!

Small changes make a BIG difference, don’t they!

On the main shelf, I purchased a water hyacinth basket tray from (get this) Walmart for only $14.97. In the basket, there is a New Orleans toile ice bucket from Hazelnut, a cocktail book, In the Land of Cocktails by Ti Martin (proprietor of Commander’s Palace), a couple limited edition bottles of Absolut (Boston & New Orleans), cocktail napkins in New Orleans toile, olive cocktail picks, mini cocktail shaker, and a NOLA toile tea towel. The shelf also houses my collection of cocktail recipe books, basket weave carafes, martini pitcher & stirrer from Michael and Joey, and a small lamp which is the source for lighting.

The wine rack hold some of my favorite wine glasses from B.D. Jeffries in Atlanta and other favorites.

The sunburst mirror is a new find from Chic Chateau in Thibodaux.

On the top shelf is a collection of champagne, wine, pilsner, and double old fashion glasses.

At the very bottom is a wine crate filled with different alcohols, a pewter dish filled with my collection of antler-handled barware, serving trays, and another water hyacinth basket with seasonal napkins.

In the drawers of the armoire are a collections of cocktail napkins, bottle stoppers, and spreaders.

So, how did I do? What do you think?

I Raised the Bar, y’all!
