Floating shelves that don’t float and non existent outlets.

Now that the bar construction was complete, it was time to outfit it. And while we’re still waiting for the chairs and wall shelves to be completed….. I wanted some shelving inside the bar for glasses and various drinking paraphernalia.

Enter the floating black shelves I found.

If you’ve never put up floating shelves? I don’t recommend it. They look and sound lovely…. though they’re anything but for the poor schmuck who has to install them.

And I think we all know who my poor schmuck is.

Two shelves and two hours later, my other half was less than pleased with my choice. He was even less pleased when I told him I would be buying two more.

Moving along…. the mini beverage fridge was slid into place.

And plugged in.

Although that didn’t go well either.

Considering the electrical outlet is on the opposite wall. This is something the husband didn’t contemplate when he bought the fridge and though I did…. I kept quiet and let him discover it all on his own.

I’m thoughtful that way.

( The electrician will be here in two weeks to add outlets. )

And one more thing… while reading the instruction booklet for proper beverage cooling procedure? I had to laugh.

( read marked lines )

Something tells me this unit was not made in the good ole USA.

  10. The black contrast is stunning. In fact, everything is beautiful. However, as an outside observer, I think you are going to regret the fridge placement. Watch your toes. Just sayin’ … 🙂

  12. Ah, floating shelves, I installed several in our previous house, and let me just say, I hope the current owners never take them down because there are numerous holes behind each one! PITA!!
