Congrats to Ellen Gundersen! She is the winner of the Design of the Month – December, 2011. Ellen transformed an outdated basement bar into a breathtaking Before & After! This beautiful bar features sleek High Gloss cabinets, chrome accessories, Ecoresin details, and a granite countertop. It was installed by Rachel Precourt.
Before: The existing bar counters were basic off-white laminate. There was a lack of storage due to the small area behind the bar counter there were no back cabinets – just a blank wall.
After: From drab to dramatic! The bar is now a beautiful focal point. In the designer’s words “It looks fresh and the Hollywood Silver eco resin creates visual excitement. She got lots of extra storage in the back cabinets and the pull-out wine racks. She added new bar stools, and a new juke box to finish off the design. It’s very cool!!”
Ellen used California Closets 3D CAD Software to create the design. It looks just like the finished product!
The design called for more storage, so Ellen added 2 beautiful Chrome Stemware Racks (holds up to 12 glasses each). She also added Chrome Pull-Out Wine Racks, making wine storage a breeze!
In the designers words: ”I designed panels of high-gloss black and framed high-gloss with Ecoresin inserts to be installed on the front faces of the existing bar cabinets. These panels looked great because they visually tied the existing front bar cabinet to the new back cabinets.”
