bookshelf bar

I never thought I could have a bar at home. When I think of a bar, I automatically think of a big liquor cabinet with a high bar table and stools. But this will take up too much space and will just end up gathering dust because it's not like we drink or entertain that often.

Doesn't this make having a bar at home possible and chic?

Though my bookshelf bar would have bottles of Patron X.O. and Moscato. I might have an Absolut Citron too because I've been meaning to try making my own Lemon Drop. We once watched the Opus bartender mix Citron with lemon juice, pour it into shot glasses and coat lemon wedges with brown sugar (the brown sugar is the trick!).  

Now, a drink or two is readily accessible. After all, it's not like I have this at home...
