Our New Bar

The past few weeks have kept me very busy working around the house. The biggest benefit of this has been our kitchen. As my mojo came fully back, the kitchen moved ever closer to completion.

For the new bar, we wanted it raised up from the base counter. This would make sitting on the stools far more comfortable and appealing, as well as make it look awesome! As we pondered the many ways to create the raised bar, the subwall option came to the forefront. After building my workbench, I had the hang of how to create a very sturdy 2x4 frame. With that, ta-da! Meet our new bar!

There are a bunch of new pictures in the "Kitchen Remodel" gallery (click on the slideshow at the top right of the main blog page) which show the details of creating the bar and show off some more finished cabinets!

(Soooo much more comfy now)
