Setting the bar high

In the building and design world, the kitchen is what comes to mind for many people when they hear the word “cabinetry.” At Dark Horse, we relish the opportunity to work on projects that go far beyond the kitchen, and we had a great time creating this beautiful custom bar.

Inspired by a bar in an LA hotel that the client liked, the bar we created as part of the Wesley project features grain-matching throughout; grain-matching is complicated and painstaking, but the result is well worth the effort.

The inside of the bar – yes, we grain-match everything because that's how it should be done.

Grain matched panels on the upper soffit. We created a door on a pivot hinge to lead to the back of the bar.
