Olney, MD Basement Remodel

Cabinet Discounters, Inc.

This relaxing basement entertainment center and bar were completely remade for ultimate enjoyment. The cabinets are all by Brighton Cabinetry with Hickory wood and a Hickory Mesquite finish with Heartland raised door style. Bottom cabinets on the bar were pre-existing, while we provided the top cabinets, including the one to work around the existing soffit. The tile behind the bar area is Lancaster stone & glass strips, mixed linear mosaic. Dan Krotz, Cabinet Discounters, Inc.

Hughes Design Associates

This exquisite contemporary home, built in the late eighties, was completely remodeled to the standards, styling and technology of a new 2015 home. Walls were removed and spaces enlarged. A new linear fireplace with stainless steel shaft and grille enclosure was designed for function, as well as for its sleek and modern vocabulary. An entirely new entrance door on a pivot hinge was created with added side fenestration. Lighting was updated throughout, with the focus on the client’s one-of-a-kind Hoberman sphere in the living area, which is flooded with various colored lights as it raises, expands and lowers. The master bath was completely gutted and redesigned in an open plan using gorgeous Calacatta marble on floors, shower and countertops. White was the color used on all walls and ceilings to showcase the owners avant-garde collection of 21st Century art, as well as the bright colors used for furnishings. “Barn door” sliding glass panels open the media room to the incredible water view beyond. Palpable, vibrant-colored furniture was custom designed for this home to create a unique and visually integrated interior experience. Clean and sleek, yet comfortable and fun, this home is a reflection of the incredible taste and style of the client. Most of all, “glamorous” truly embodies the look and feel of this stunning residence. http://hughesdes.com/portfolio-Sarasota-Contemporary.html

Small Home Bar Design Ideas with Light Wood Cabinets

A home bar can provide a spot of indulgence for one, or be a central hub you gather round when entertaining. Whether you’re thinking of planning a wine bar, outdoor bar, or just making room for a bar cart, browse these images for inspiration, and ask yourself the following questions.

Where should you position your home bar?

The most popular location for a home bar is in or near the kitchen or dining room. If you prefer entertaining outdoors, however, an outdoor bar can be a dream addition to any Aussie backyard – and imagine the luxury of swimming up to your very own pool bar! If you're building from scratch, a landscape architect can help you work out the ideal design for your space.

What type of home bar is best suited to your needs?

Home bars come in all shapes and sizes, and with an array of practicalities. Utilise an awkward corner with a cabinet bar; maximise floor space with a trunk bar, which unfolds to create a bar counter; or conveniently turn any space in your house into a bar room with a mobile bar such as a fun bar cart. If you prefer a more grandiose option, or all the amenities of a real bar, you can’t go past a built-in home bar.

What home bar functionalities do you want to include?

Decide how you will use the bar and whether you will need sinks, storage and refrigeration. Including a sink in your home bar design is a practical addition if you choose a location far from your kitchen. If you’re a wine connoisseur, you may want to include additional wine storage, whereas a mini bar fridge within the kitchen may need no extra storage at all. Home bars that will be used infrequently – perhaps an outdoor bar in the cooler months – may not need refrigeration and could suffice with large ice buckets.

What bar furniture will you need?

Seating is essential to any home bar and will impact the style of your home bar design. Bar stools, for example, come in an array of materials and styles, from traditional wooden bar stools, to resort- and industrial-style stools. Storage is another important element, so look for a liquor cabinet and wine racks. Next, if you are creating a freestanding station, you will need a bar table, which are taller and shallower than regular dining tables. Check that your stools and table height work together before you finalise any home bar designs.

How can you personalise your bar design?

Bar tools and accessories are an easy and interchangeable way to personalise your bar design. You may want to create a wine bar, tavern-style bar or retro bar, so look for wine glasses and tumblers, for instance, that will help carry this style. Coasters, bar mats or signage will help you to further achieve your desired look.
