Bar Buffet

I built a bar buffet for a little nook in the kitchen of my first apartment after college. I needed a bit more counter space and wanted a place to display my wine glasses. Thus, I sketched and built a buffet perfect for my exact needs. I was able to build this projects at my parents house using my dad’s tools. The buffet top was built with 1x8 boards. My dad helped me refine the detail for wine glass stem rack where we used 1x2’s and routed the top edges to hold the wine glasses. The 1x2s are screwed to the bottom of the buffet top to fit the width of my wine glasses. Four hair pined legs and walnut stain completed the look I was going for.

Learning Curves:

  • not all wine glass bottoms are the same size

  • I love the wine rack feature but am unable to use it now that we have a large dog with a HAPPY tail!

This is one of my favorite builds and keeps following me to new homes.
