Bookcase Bar Makeover

Turning a bookcase into a bar is simple.

We purchased this midcentury bookcase off Craigslist for $40. It was called a china hutch, I believe. I removed the glass doors that were once it, gave it a good scrub and added a seersucker fabric that I already had to the backing.

The Threshold Bronze Stackable Wine Rack was purchased from Target for $20. We are only using one of the two racks it came with. The wine bottle basket was purchased from Marshall's for $6.

Bottom cabinets allow for storage of table linens while the little drawer stores bar accessories.

Wine bottle basket for $6 holds open bottles of wine.

Everything you need for after-dinner drinks.

Lower cabinet stores extra glasses and table linens.

See that red spot? This is why you don't store open wine on its side ...

Bookcase = $40
Wine rack = $20
Wine bottle basket = $6
-----------------------------
Total = $66

Now I just need to score a sweet deal on an ice bucket and we'll be all set!
