No matter the project, home renovations require an extensive amount of thoughtful planning. We’ve heard plenty of horror stories about remodels that, once complete, had left out a detail a client would’ve never considered on their own. Working with a qualified designer can help alleviate any of those concerns, as experience should help ensure no small detail is left unaddressed.

Go behind-the-scenes of our recent custom bar space remodel, from planning through construction and, of course, the big reveal!

Planning and Construction

Despite this project being a relatively small space, it’s important to understand just how many moving parts play into home design. In this project, we worked around an air return, carefully planned the electrical to route through brick and center everything perfectly, added plugs into the quartz backsplash and designed around a taxidermy statement piece (a gift from Luke Bryan!). We even considered things like storage for larger liquor bottles, which we achieved through oversized, strong custom drawers.

With all of the hidden details squared away, we turned toward planning the visual elements, like custom paint colors, hardware and finishes. We opted for Brizo hardware to match the Brizo faucet finish, and added a stunning gold Rhol lacquered sink.

Now with the design in place, it was time to begin construction. Considering our brick backdrop, precision was paramount toward achieving our goals.

Final Result

Time for the big reveal! We were absolutely thrilled with the results of this build, from the stunning custom green working seamlessly with the existing brick, to the infinite details that made this space perfect for our clients: floating shelves to display barware and collectibles, drawers for refrigeration, ice and bar storage, a small sink for easy clean-up and a perfectly centered sconce. Towering above it all (also perfectly centered, might we add) is the family’s meaningful mounted deer.
