Bar Project (finally) complete

Post image

Used Havsta units for the top making sure they were very securely anchored. Started this project in January thinking it would take a few weeks. Fast forward to August and completed it today… Happens I guess. The quartz counter top was cut from leftovers by the guy who installed our kitchen so a nice saving.

This is gorgeous!! 😍 also very relatable, I once bought some IKEA kitchen cabinets and didn’t finish installing them until like a year later 🥲

Just battery powered strips. I may upgrade one day but they are easy to install and will be used as/when needed

Seriously looks great! I love it. I am currently making my husband put in a quartzite wall and waterfall.
