    Create Your Own Home Bar

    There are a lot of great home bars and carts you can buy, but living in a small apartment I find that many are too bulky for the space I have.

    My boyfriend and I ended up purchasing this thin bookcase and repurposing it as a bar. It fits snugly in the corner by our kitchen and holds all are alcohol paraphernalia on the shelves as well as most of our spirits in the bottom cabinet.

    I'm really happy with how it turned out!
