Idea: Espresso bar.
Last week, K shared this post with me:
A while back, she had thrown out the idea of making a built-in espresso bar around the corner from our kitchen. Where Sefton currenty cooks.
(The previous owners left us the Pybus artwork, which we thought was nice and have left it hanging)
That wall, between what's our dining room and the kitchen, used to be an outside wall. So it's thick.
Perfect for which to build in a recessed espresso bar with a floor cabinet, countertop, and shelves or a cabinet overhead. Our current setup admittedly works pretty well.
The pullout Ikea cabinet front is where we keep the knock box and everything else we need to make our daily espresso.
We do like espresso, after all.
Having a dedicated area for it would be wonderful. We'd also be able to hard-plumb the La Pavoni Pub V professional espresso machine we're (slowly) restoring. First, we have to finish our floating wall and the kitchen island. Then, maybe this espresso bar idea…
