Above is an older pic of the kitchen nook. We had this Ikea Melltorp table and pair of Saarinen chairs which in the end weren’t very convenient to sit in and took up a lot of space in our narrow galley style kitchen.

So while Craig built our lovely built-in bookshelves I asked to also have this bar built with the leftover wood – because I’m a dick.

I designed a little storage area to show off lovely cooking things.

Craig installed a wood support for the bar top on both walls.

The Boy and Craig are trying to level out the back support for the bar top.

All installed!

And for the big finish…I painted it up.

I have a new pair of chairs I recently picked up going here, which I’ll reveal later with the fully styled bookcases and breakfast bar!

*By styled I mean filled with crap.
