Creating a Chic Bar

John Fondas - House Beautiful


I absolutely adore a glamorous bar. This was once a closet in a Palm Beach apartment with accordion doors, drop ceiling, and fluorescent lights. Look at it now!

The countertop is mahogany.

The tortoise wallpaper is Celerie Kemble for Schumacher.

I love tortoiseshell. It also looks great with chinoiserie like blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Keep your eyes open for this wonderful liquer - pineapple, passion fruit, French cognac, and Dutch Vodka. I bought it for the bottle, but it is fantastic!

    1. Instead of the usual bottle of wine I wanted to take the Pinaq bottle to our friend's home this Friday as a thank you. Since they have a Palm Beach style home with white and gold kitchen the Pinaq Colada looked perfect. My amazing husband drove 2 hours from our home to purchase. He knows how I like to get a perfect gift. Many thanks for highlighting this stunning bottle as I had never seen it before. I think my friends will enjoy!

    1. No - it's screened so you get wonderful fresh air and breezes.

  5. What a gorgeous yard you've made, Beth. Just gazing at it lowered stress and my blood pressure.
