My mission for this wet bar was 'resourceful/reclaimed'. Given the nature of a wet bar as a luxury or an accessory (In a house without the luxury price tag) we had to keep cost down but reflect the unwillingness to sacrifice craft. These doors were made from reclaimed redwood fence boards. I got them free of Craigslist. The method of slicing them up into inconsistent thicknesses allowed for a visual depth variance to the doors adding one of the many tactical elements to the complete project. Using leather to create the pulls makes for pleasing experience with a juxtaposition of a soft, smooth and malleable material affixed to a rigid planar element. Where, even without looking you can understand it's need to swing on a single axis while still being forgiving with its human contact.  The concrete countertop was formed using extra wood flooring giving a woodgrain texture. We consciously chose to let the concrete take on the natural organic process of being a poured, loose solid and embrace the post evidence of such journey. forcing concrete to take on a perfect surface quality neglects the evidence of process and isn't genuine in nature.
