Just off the dining room is a little room that has many purposes. An office. A butler's pantry. Dish storage. It was probably a breakfast room in its previous life.
At some point, cupboards were built for storage. I think the previous homeowner entertained a lot and probably had lots of dishes just like me.
I call this room "The Dish Room!"
I call this room "The Dish Room!"
I found the perfect desk to fit between two of the dish cupboards.
I had visions of sitting here designing the remodel and perhaps creating a future tablescape.
In reality, Mr. A uses this desk more than I do, but that's another story....
Opposite the desk is a mirrored alcove that is temporarily housing my collection of colored glassware. It needs updating as some of the glass shelves are cracked.
The counter is fake wood formica.
Notice I hung a chandelier and replaced the shutters with woven shades.
This little alcove could be a wet bar with a wine refrigerator below.
I'm envisioning a marble counter with a little brass bar sink. I like the mirror and will replace it with new mirror or possibly antique mirror.
Thanks to Pinterest, I have some major inspiration.
I love this integrated marble bar sink.
The mirror on the backsplash is the look I'm going for, especially with the glass shelves.
What makes this special is the French bistro shelving.
But it's the look that will set this wet bar apart.
I like how the black counter looks with a brass sink.
How gorgeous is this sink?
Can you see it?
The wine cooler will go under the counter to the right.
The sink will be on the left side of the counter.
I'll either pick Calacatta Oro marble or soapstone, depending on whether I can find a remnent.
This room wears many hats. It's the "Dish Room, aka butler's pantry. And it's an office.
With the addition of the bar sink, it could double as a wet bar and even a flower arranging station.
Not to mention, it could be a temporary kitchenette while our kitchen is being remodeled.
Who knew 100 square feet could have so many possibilities!
