Raising the Bar

Location: Tigard, OR

Cheers to the home bar.

During the pandemic shutdown, our clients came up with the idea to transform their unused dining room into a bar where they could enjoy a glass of wine and eventually entertain their tight-knit group of neighbors for their monthly gatherings. Over the years, the dining room space turned into a catchall where extra furniture ended up and featured a rarely played keyboard. The room has a new purpose with a built-in wet bar, wine refrigerator, beverage fridge, and storage cabinets along one wall.
