We Converted a Brooklyn Homeowner's Unused Space Into an Elegant Bar

August 23, 2024

Bennie, a homeowner in Brooklyn, had always wanted a built-in bar. Several friends had them, but his limited space made his dream bar impossible. Instead, he kept his bottles of liquor on the floor in an area he wasn't using for anything else. One of his buddies, who'd worked with Cabinet Reface Direct to maximize space in his home, suggested Bennie call the company to see if they could help.


Excited by the idea, Bennie called Cabinet Reface Direct Brooklyn to see if they could help. He spoke to a representative and explained what he was after. They told him they could find a way to give him the bar he wanted and scheduled a free in-home consultation and price quote at his convenience.

John, a Cabinet Reface Direct designer, arrived on appointment day on time and was ready to transform Bennie's makeshift bar area into the real thing. He looked at the bottles on the floor, studied the space, then sat down with Bennie and sketched some ideas.

Bennie loved John's ideas and scheduled a convenient day to start the job. John told him he could complete the job in a single day. John returned the next day to get started. Bennie, who worked from home, went into his office to work, leaving John to transform the bar.

As he was going into his office, Bennie made a light-hearted joke about having a drink from his bar at the end of his workday, and John told him he'd be able to do that.

John went to work, installing a cabinet that functioned as storage and an area for preparing drinks. He also installed shelving for liquor displays and access to the most frequently used beverages. Bennie had a bar light on hand, which John hung, and some decorative pieces that John incorporated into the final design. He finished it with an espresso machine and a few traditional bar accessories.

True to his word, John finished the job by the end of the day, coinciding with Bennie ending his work day. Bennie came out of his office just as John put the last liquor bottles on the shelves. "Drinks are on me," he joked.

John asked what he thought about the new bar. Bennie said he couldn't believe how beautiful and functional it looked. What had been a dull, empty space with his alcohol on the floor had now become an actual place where he could comfortably make a drink at the end of the day or when he had guests over, which he frequently did.

Bennie thanked John for doing a great job. It was better than he imagined it would be and gave the room a completely new persona. He said he would recommend Cabinet Reface Direct to friends who needed custom work now, and he promised to leave a glowing Google rating and review.
