In Search of: The Perfect Bar Cabinet

There’s a little nook in the dining room that is begging for a bar cabinet. It’s right outside of the kitchen and a natural spot to house liquor, wine glasses, and to serve drinks from during a party.

Of course, West Elm makes the perfect solution, complete with storage for glasses and bottles.

I’d love to avoid buying something new because I know there are so many second-hand pieces out there looking for a home. The trick is to find the right one. I came across these, which are sadly already sold, at www.blackwellshoppe.com:

While they lack the nice glass rack options of the brand new West Elm piece, their charm more than makes up for it in my mind.

I’m spending a lot of time scouring Craig’s List, Facebook Marketplace, and Offer Up right now. I’m also going to hit some local second-hand store in Pittsburgh this weekend, but if you have any leads or place you think I should be on the prowl for a piece like this, please let me know!
