Designer Gary Nance incorporated this bar into the side of the chimney of a home he designed on Walloon Lake. Nance made enough space for kitchen designer Jill Brecheisen to install 24-inch-wide Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers with paneled fronts. A wood counter above the drawers became the drink staging area. “To complete the look, we added matching charcoal-colored vertical planking and matching shelved to create a practical but unique space,” says Brecheisen.
Clearly this bar deserves the finest in glassware such as Nachtmann Fine Bavarian Crystal drink glasses and decanter (three-piece set, $120). Thanks to Shelley Doyen of The Ideal Kitchen in Manistee for this elegant recommendation. See the photo gallery below for glassware and drink accessory images.
