This home bar was added and designed to coordinate with the kitchen cabinetry as if it had been in place from the start; it is identical to the original pantry standing next to it. The wood countertop on the bar, coordinates with the island. The rhomboid-shaped carrara marble backsplash adds interest to this understated bar. The refrigerator drawers in the lower center, along with additional storage for bar equipment, offers the ideal self-serve option for party guests while keeping pathways clear for walking. The bar also creates a natural transition between the kitchen, dining alcove and living room while allowing each to relate to the other.
