Once Upon a Closet .....

I enjoy having a kitchen that serves as a gathering space.  But sometimes I feel the other rooms get forgotten.  So I set up an area for beverages which  allows for a better traffic flow at parties.  The area I used was in the family room which is just outside the entry to the kitchen.  It originally was a large two door closet.










I took the doors off and purchased two stock floor cabinets and a mini fridge.   I measured the top, cut a piece of plywood, applied adhesive tile squares, some trim and painted it out in black.   For entertaining I use this area for glasses, ice bucket and drinks and it welcomes guests into the family room.  Success!
