To sour a niche of their biz room into a well - stock bar , a creative distich built a wine rack , countertop , and even stemware holders .
Rather than fight or ignore the clipped ceiling in their Cary , North Carolina , game elbow room , Zoe and Andrew Hunttook a different angle . They used the cap slant to their advantage , building in a bar unit that ’s a everlasting scene . The wine wheel shelf were tricky , Andrew hold . " Our bulwark are not confining to foursquare , and we learned that the concentrated way , " he says . " Each ledge end up being a slimly different shape and size of it to fit into the space . " Their math attainment and industriousness paid off . " The matching slant makes the rack palpate like it was always stand for to be there , " Zoe say .
The couple bought the alkali locker at a house center and adapted it to accommodate the beverage ice chest . They made a countertop andfloating shelvesfrom pine boards they burned with a plumbers torch to emphasize the cereal . " It created a alone spirit that you just ca n’t get with discoloration or paint , " Andrew says . Including the electric refrigerator , this barroom cost Andrew and Zoe about $ 450 to build .

Andrew and Zoe spent about four day building and put in the bar components from the bottom up . Fitting the frame-up from wall to windowpane frame and to the ceiling slant gives it a refined , custom coming into court .
The Hunts redact in a standard threshold - and - drawer console , adding a side backing control panel and a infrastructure for the freestanding beverage cooler to make it look built - in . A volcano install on the panel allow air circulation . Blue paint ( Sherwin - Williams Naval SW 6244 ) unites the art object .
Three board secured with mucilage and pocket holes along their long edges make the countertop . After sand the top and do their bite proficiency on fight forest , Zoe and Andrew scorched the cereal by displace the pipe fitter torch back and forth , put to work in sections , and keeping the flaming about 6 inches from the surface . After the wood cooled , they sealed it with spar urethane , a sealer often used on boats .

The Hunts reprize the burnt wood finish on shelves . For one , they designed wineglass holders from square dowels and fleck Grant Wood then painted them dim to touch the metallic element ledge bracket .
For each locker pull , Zoe glued together two leather strips and perforate a kettle of fish at each final stage with a rotary hole punch , then she attached them to the door and drawer using screw posts .
