Custom Cabinets for Home Bar can be fun as well as a practical feature in your living space. These custom cabinets can be a balance between large celebrations to smaller, more intimate events. Designing your home bar cabinetry starts with knowing if you want a wet bar or dry bar. A wet bar is equipped with a sink and running water. A dry bar can be used when there is no plumbing for a sink. You should include plenty of storage – as much as your space will allow. Cabinetry can include a combination of drawers, shelves and pullouts to increase the storage capacity, along with a stemware holder. In addition for space for bottles and drink mixing ingredients, there needs to be a space to keep utensils, glassware and other bar accessories. You can also create a display space to accommodate collections of decanters, etc. For more information and FREE consultation 727-522-2700 sales@accentwoodworking.com https://www.accentwoodworking.com/cabinetry/

This kitchen was designed with the intent of hosting large family gatherings, upwards of twenty people at a time. Locating the kitchen adjacent to the informal eating area, the family room and the patio, was the ideal choice for entertaining. The implementation of a large double island, in an unexpected “L” shape, allowed for a ton of extra space without consequently feeling like an industrial environment. The choice to panel the expansive fridge and freezer allowed the mirrored stainless-steel display cabinets to really become a focal point in the space. These cabinets worked perfectly to house the client’s large stemware collection. Repeating the mirrored finish on the other side of the room, with a refined hood fan exudes glamour. Lastly, the sophisticated hardware and sculptural light fixtures elevate this kitchen to the contemporary, yet traditional, formal style found throughout the rest of the home.

The toe kick valance and the furniture feet of this statement piece makes this kitchen cabinetry look more like a beautifully designed hutch rather than functional cabinetry used for storage. The clear seedy glass doors allow a clear view into the the cherry cinnamon wooden interior, which is highlighted by the interior lighting to display the homeowner's glassware and dishes.

This amazing Custom Wet Bar was designed to fit in a 8 foot by 7 foot corner of the clients home in the open family room. This is the perfect size for the home and was designed to include everything you need to entertain family and friends.

This area of the kitchen is dedicated for entertaining. It features a beverage fridge, glass cabinetry to display stemware and a run of countertop for serving drinks or appetizers.

The homeowners were inspired by one of San Luis Kitchen's showroom displays and decided to re-do their kitchen in heartwood maple with a matte driftwood finish. To complement the cabinets, they chose Jenn-Air's oil rubbed bronze appliances for an amazing impact. We completed the job with a wood hood, decorative dishwasher panel, corner swing out shelves, and lots of nice deep drawers.

Our client requested a showpiece wine cellar for this showpiece island location…and we were happy to deliver it. This cellar has it all: French limestone accenting custom white oak wine racking and millwork, limestone arched niches with a bush-hammer finish, reclaimed oak cooperage, and a barrel ceiling, are among the finer details. Accessible through two separate entries from both wings of the home, take the spiral staircase or stroll down the hallway, which also provides ample bin and case storage, to enter this stunning wine cellar. A perfect gathering spot to take in a classic vintage after a day of taking in the panoramic oceanfront view outside.

This client loves to entertain, and wanted a new SubZero Refrigerator. In or to do so, we removed the old Fridge which was located next to the double oven, and removed the lower and upper cabinet to the left. We extended the soffit to create the built in look and added a beautiful cabinet with glass for her display of her stemware, and other important china pieces. Linda Jaramillo

This walnut and vintage white custom kitchen boasts many custom features. The mirrored cabinetry image on the ceiling above the island creates a more intimate setting in a large space. The custom china cabinet around the corner was designed specifically to display treasured pieces and store dining linens. A retractable wine goblet rack is hidden in the bar between the existing columns and operates easily by the touch of a switch. Lit cabinets and drawers abound. Two paper towel dispensers are hidden inside drawers. Even the beloved puppies have their own special drawer for feeding times.

This one-of-a-kind two-toned wine cellar is the perfect entertaining space in this West Virginia home. The wine cellar was handcrafted from Mahogany and finished in both Vigilant’s Harvest and Espresso stains. It features beautiful custom premium cabinetry and a cigar humidor cabinet.

The wine cellar also includes a convenient table top area with a sink and stemware racking for the perfect decanting area.

This large basement wine cellar is conveniently located behind the entertainment room bar. The lighting is on dimmers that can be adjusted for mood lighting or inventory lighting.
