ABOVE TOP: Architectural planning f rom Alexander Design Group and several small but important details help to faithfully recreate a traditional English pub, such as the
brass rail footrest, paneling on the walls, and dark ceiling for a cavernous feel. There's a wet bar and dishwasher drawer for cleaning barware, as well as a built-in beverage
ref rigerator. The beveled mirror backsplash adds a bit of light and reflection to the space, which was created with help f rom Fred Nordahl Construction, Inc. Library chairs
provide a place to get cozy and are supplemented by a table f rom a whiskey barrel. There are even hooks under the bar for hanging up your bags.

ABOVE BOTTOM: These homeowners love to travel and collect wine f rom various regions, so I gave them a truly spectacular way to showcase their collection with help
f rom Fred Nordahl Construction, Inc. Stacked three rows deep with mirrors on the back to give an infinity illusion, the custom ref rigerated wine cabinet can hold up to 300
bottles. When this hockey family is ready to watch a game, the motorized TV pops up f rom its recessed spot in the bar.
