#coffeehouse

I don’t have a good coffee house near me. And honestly, even if I did, why would I want to pay coffee house prices when I can do my own Starbucks DIY? When I started developing my perfect design for a coffee bar at home,

(what really happened was I am almost done with the kitchen design and realized I have NO SPOT for the coffee),

I suddenly realized that this space also needed to do double duty as a home whiskey/bourbon bar (with wine storage). With five kids and two home offices we are seriously short on extra real estate and it’s super important to make EVERY ROOM work really hard. So, here are my favorite DIY coffee bar ideas, that also happen to be able to accommodate a whiskey bar set up… P.S. It’s going in the dining room.

So, the first thing I did was make a wish list of what I wanted for the home bar:

1. A pretty bar sink (doing a dry bar is much cheaper, but in my forever home, I’m not going to skimp on the extras)
2. Storage for bar glasses and extra mugs (Rainman has an extensive collection that I have not been able to smuggle out of the house into the garbage)
3. Hanging under cabinet storage for wine glasses
4. A combination beverage fridge for white wine (we drink red wine at room temperature like uncultured heathens but I like to keep chardonnay on hand for friends that drink white) and soda mixers like ginger ale and coke
5. Counter space for the coffee machine
6. A pot filler for the coffee machine
7. Storage for bags of coffee and my herbal tea collection
8. Room on the counter for cocktail tools
9. Room for displaying and storing liquor for cocktails

So, here are some of my favorites I found that are capable of hosting coffee, wine, and bourbon:
