Built in 1939, our house is in the wonderfully titled 'minimal traditional' style, which is to say that it's small and basic. We love the clear layout and simple adornment but the cozy floor plan leaves little room for grand furniture statements. Any piece must be purpose-built and have a considerate (i.e. minimal) footprint. In that spirit, we have been working on a bar cabinet for our dining room to hold plants, lighting, and... the bar. Full scale mock-ups in poplar and birch plywood. Final piece to be walnut.
