    As with many other households recently, we’ve decided our dining room table is a waste of space. We have decided to replace it with a contemporary bar, which will work well due to proximity to the family room.

    Rough specs are:
    – approx 8 ft long
    – contemporary styling
    – translucent, lit panels
    – minimal to no wood

    A translucent lit bar top would be excellent, something along the lines of this (except much smaller, naturally):

    A solid bar top with lit bar side panels would also work…example:

    We’ve googled for several hours over the last few weeks, but the only one we’ve found so far costs $6K-8K and must be shipped from Europe. That’s way more money that we want to spend.

    We’d really like to find something in southern Calif that we could go look at, but if you could point us to something on the net that would work too.

    Ideas?

    For resale value I’m not sure its a great idea.

    Can I come over when you are done?

    We’re looking for a portable bar, not a built-in bar…I should have stated that. The links I sent were indeed misleading.

    And sure, you’re more than welcome to come over for a drink!

    When I saw wet bars in homes I was considering… i often laughed. They just seem so lame to me. So 1980’s (1960’s?). But it’s your life. Do what makes you happpy… but don’t forget to budget for the disco ball, hanging decorator beads, lots of red velvet anything, some zebra striped fabric, black light, hatch cover coffee table with shells lacquered into it… and slide a Johnny Walker high-ball on the rocks down my way.
