Old Dresser Turned Portable Bar

Bliss Ranch: Dresser Bar

Time for Part Dos of the dresser redo.  Also known as the project that almost drove Bliss over the edge.  (See the whole sordid affair of the dresser's before in Part Uno).


There will also be a Part Tres featuring the back side, some details, and night scenes so I can show you the awesome crackled glass globes with lit candles inside - my favorite part.

Light Globes as patio lights, Bliss-Ranch.com

What we did......
Brawn and I took a FREE dresser off the hands of some folks at a garage sale and turned it into an outdoor portable bar.

When we have folks over we are constantly running in and out of the house to get beverages or mix them even if it's just non alcoholic fruity blender drinks.  It made sense to bring a beverage station to the patio.

The veneer was peeled off in the bad spots, sanded, the whole thing was painted a God awful pink-purple color - that I had to fix.  I rubbed Ebony stain over the entire dresser which gave it a nice rich color, then two coats of marine varnish.

It wasn't that I had a thing for purple/pink, I was trying to match the decking of our spa boards, a deep mahogany.  I succeeded.  I also succeeded in not spending money to complete it.

The only thing we didn't have in the garage was the purple/pink paint.  Imagine that.  We do now.

What you thought was going to be a giant bird house, was actually a wood insert in the drawer to fit up to 2 liter soda bottles.

The back side has a ledge to set things on.

I have the bar set up for Fiesta in these photos - margaritas, chips and salsa with a side of Corona, and a few novelty sodas, but it will also be used for ice tea and non alcoholic drinks.

I have some of those big bottles of coffee flavorings so it can easily be set up as a coffee bar when the weather cools.

Bliss Ranch: Dresser Bar

Above is a stainless steel ice trough from the before photos, and the top was cut into so the trough could be set in.  Perfect size to cool whatever beverages we need for a night of entertaining without running back and forth into the house.

It can chill wine, beer, or just some Coca-Cola.  The ice trough also fits in the drawer and the top has a piece of wood that fits over it for serving foods or setting jugs of lemonade.

Both sides of the dresser have different words.  More times than not the bar will probably be used for sodas and non alcoholic drinks so I didn't want to use hard core booze words.

Words like booze.  There is enough kids around here I could have put *whine* on it.

I sanded and distressed the sides for a vintage feel.

The drawers and both tops of the dresser were left natural since Brawn was so sweet to peel off all that terrible peeling veneer.

It's just the right amount of quirky to be a conversation piece.

The big crackle glass light globes can hold real candles, or battery operated.

Stapled inside is a hardware cloth square to fasten any beverage recipes that might be needed.

A simple slit in a used cork turns it into use as a recipe clip.

The whole mesh grid thing was made on the door frame and it gets closed inside the top when not in use.

The left side door holds old supplies I kept in a drawer in the house for using outside.

The "holders" are left over belt pieces from my son's Rock n Roll dresser (that dresser was also a freebie).

I picked up some leather samples in earthy colors at a garage sale to make this mini banner.  The letters are done with powder glitter.

When we are outside on the patio or by the pool what do we want to do?   R E L A X.

Dresser Turned Portable Bar, Bliss-Ranch.com

One of my BFF's, my garage sale buddy and the only friend I told about this blog, (hi Dii) thinks I have an addiction to glassware.

I'm drawn to it at garage sales or thrift stores, and I don't need anymore of it!  I think I have every size wine glass made, but the ones in the picture are just typical Target brand.

The martini glasses on the shelf in the far left corner are antiques and I love them.  I picked them up at a sale a few years ago and still kick myself because I didn't buy the old set of 6 seltzer bottles.  What was I thinking!

The margarita glasses also came from a garage sale and I have three colors of them; clear, a light green and a pink sort of like pink depression glass.  I also have a nice set of plastic ones for serving slushies to kids.

  21. Amazing, incredible, clever, stunning, did I say INCREDIBLE - and that's not just describing the new drinks bar, it also describes you and Brawn !
    I kind of thought it was something to do with drink, but I had some crazy idea that drink was going to go into the globes and they would sit in the holes Brawn cut out - lol !!
    Anyway, I absolutely love it Bliss, and I love the lettering with the different fonts, I really need me some alphabet stickers !

    ReplyDelete
  22. This is so cool I absolutely love it!!! I am looking for a piece of furniture for my dining room and I love this!! I found you on It's Overflowing I would love it if you would link up to my linky party going on now!

  23. I am so making your rita's today. What an amazing transformation. I would expect nothing less from you though!! Gonna use this in my monthly wow's ! I am beyond speechless maybe cause I am dreaming about drinking one of your cocktails right now!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've just read the previous post again where it describes the 'globe candles' - oops, I won't be getting a gold star for paying attention will I !!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. You had me at margarita! This bar is just the ticket for never having to go inside! I'm relaxed just looking at it (can you imagine how relaxed I'd feel after one of your cocktails)?!

    I'm an old glass lover too - now you need to make it your mission to find some old seltzer bottles.

    Your margarita recipe sounds amazing but if you want to skip the simple syrup and measuring just do what I do:
    2 pours tequila
    1 pour contreau
    squeeze of agave nectar
    juice of half a lime
    Shake in cocktail mixer filled with ice
    Pour into rock salt rimmed ice filled glass
    Relax!

    Pinning this ...
    and can't wait to see your backside!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Woo hoo! I was right! I had a feeling this is what you were doing, but couldn't have imagined how awesome it would have turned out. My favorite thing are all of the little details - it makes it stand out from the others you see on Pinterest. My plans to do one are null and void - can't top this one :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Fabulous makeover!! My favorite is the metal sink to hold ice and beverages. And there's more in back?! I'll be back for the reveal. Keep cool!

  36. Wow. So funky, so cool down every last detail! Amazing. Love all the words on the side and the "RELAX" banner! I just wish it was a traveling bar!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Absolute perfection! Girl, you really thought of everything. It's just awesome! I have a glassware/stemware addiction too so don't feel bad. I honestly do not have room for any new pieces so that's the only thing that keeps me from buying more.

    I'll take a margarita now, on the rocks with salt and I'll 'relax' along with you!

  102. Oh Wow! I'm over from Brambleberry Cottage. This is an amazingly detailed piece of furniture you've transformed! I'm so impressed with every little part of it. You could actually make a killing selling these! It has everything anyone could ever want to relax on their patio with guests and looks utterly fantastic! (Have I gone on enough yet...can't get over it!) Can I blog about it and refer people back to your blog? I never ask that, but would love to showcase this piece for you! xo wendy

  103. Oh Wow! Beautiful, beautiful! This is an amazingly detailed piece of furniture you've transformed! I love every little thing about it and admire your ingenuity and cleverness. You could make a killing selling these! I just can't get over how you've thought of every beverage need and incorporated it into an old dresser that looks fabulous. (Have I gone enough yet?! hahaha) May I blog about this and refer people over to view this? I never ask that, but I'm so impressed! (over from Brambleberry Cottage) wendy xo

  106. This is fantastic! Did you do anything special to seal it so that it can be kept outdoors, or do you bring it inside when you're not having a fiesta?

    1. Thank you Stacy. It has two coats of Marine varnish on it, but I still bring it in the garage till it is needed. Another thought was to get a bbq cover for it.

    That is seriously awesome. I will have to keep that in mind. We are going to be making liquor cabinet sometime in the near future so I may incorporate a lot of these ideas.
