You might just start.

It's a really attractive piece......you could also use it for storage and not as a bar, even though you use a lot of space to the wine rack.

You mean no cocktails and lounging by the fabulous pool? I am disappointed . . . :-)

I would want to see it in person; can you find out if it is in any of their stores? If it's not one near you, maybe it is near one of us and we can check it out for you. Maybe even use an app to do a color match, since it varies in the photos.

I don't really drink either, but I set up a bar for parties (we have one in an antique armoire from the PO) and I also have a bar set up if we have just a few couples over.

Thanks guys! The sale ends at 1130 tonight and from I understand they rarely have sales. LOL ellindidi6161 and oaktown! Very funny!

Thanks joaniepoanie. I know I could find something to put in it. I do have 2 or 3 wine glasses that my mother got while she was here (she does drink wine at night). I am afraid that if I decide not to get it, they will quit making them before they ever go on sale again.

MnRdRedux - Each one is hand made in NC. The lady on the phone said they dont display them in stores. :( I might be putting in a custom bar when I start the remodel, but if this one would fit, I could use it instead. I'm putting in the custom bar if there is damage to one of the red rock walls where I will be tearing out a bathroom. We decided a bar to hide the damage would be a good idea. The other thing is the house has two living rooms, so I could put this in the other room?

I still dont know what to do! The fact that they are back ordered and lot of people are buying them makes me want one more!

Buy it.

It's so attractive. I was thinking if buying it but it really doesn't work anywhere for me.

I didnt buy it. :( I guess I will have to give up this obsession until they have another sale. It just doesnt make sense if I do a custom bar. I'm thinking maybe I"ll make the custom bar lacquer. :)

I understand how you can get attached to a particular item, but at the same time be wary of spending a lot without being able to see it in person. Once you have your walls rebuilt, maybe it will be easier to decide whether you want to splurge on the Anthro piece or have a custom cabinet built. If your cabinet maker has a spray booth, you can have an awesome lacquer finish in whatever color you wish.

is it the functionality, or the color? If color, what about getting a CL find or other inexpensive piece and painting it that color?

Fun2behere - that is what I was thinking. I know an awesome cabinet maker and I think he arrange a lacquer finish on the bar. It also occurred to me, that if there is repairable damage to the rock wall, I cant just put the anthropologie bar over it to hide it, if I ever sell the house. It's better to build something more permanent integrated into the wall...like a floating lacquer bar.

Violetwest- it's the color! I love it...but I am also scared to purchase it without seeing it in color. I dont drink at home and I feel silly buying something frivolous when I have so much other stuff to finish at the house. I'm hoping to do something custom within a year and maybe get a mint blue color incorporated (although not sure that would look good with red rock walls).

You guys are the best, btw! I feel silly for posting about it only to decide not to buy it after all.

Rockywall,

Have you ever tried BM Advance Paint for painting furniture, it gives a nice lustre look to a painted piece.
Maybe one of their colors to paint something and you will have your color fix for awhile. I also love that color.
Their

It's gorgeous, but definitely pricey. My DD would love it since the LR is right off the DR, and they've made use of it as an 'after dinner lounge' area, using a large round coffee table/4chairs. Could be a nice Christmas gift for DD/DH, since I'm usually fairly generous with my kids/grands. Since she's used a lot of ivory in the two rooms, it would be perfect. I need to check out the size since I wouldn't want it to look like a postage stamp in their large room.

And sorry to add, it's imported. Details here:

Rockybird, if you have a Homegoods or At Home(formerly Gardenridge)they usually have a lot of different cabinets, or various items that would serve nicely as a bar. Prices are very reasonable!

patty cakes-if you buy it, can you post pics and a review? It sounds like it would be perfect for your DD..I see that it is imported. Now I am very confused as to where it is made. Thanks for the suggestion for HomeGoods. I dont need a bar, I just liked the colors of this one. I'll be putting in a custom bar at some point, so I guess I shouldnt buy one now.

Thanks Lyban! I LOVE those colors! I will keep them in mind for the custom bar. :)

I wanted to update this old thread that I did buy the bar in mint. I got the last one they had. I was told they are discontinuing the mint color and I got it at 50% off (plus tax and $149 shipping). I know it is silly as 1) I dont drink 2) I am alreadybuilding a custom bar in the house. But I really like the color and I was thinking that in my master addition I could find a place for it. Or maybe put it in a guest room for holding towels. I'll post an update with pics when I get it!

arcy_gw that is a great thought. Thanks for the idea!

I love the color and the shape. I can't wait to see how it looks in your house.

I'm sim so glad you got it! I was hoping you would.

Was eyeing it myself:) I know Anthro merchandise fairly well..:) Too expensive (most of their furniture is). small house, all that..so no bar for me. But it's really cool, excited you've got it

They had another before, similar but more glitzy..or was it Jonathan Adler's one? no, it was Jonathan Adler's..my confusion

(twice as expensive..0)

That's a great looking bar! I love the flower handles! The one I bought was actually 1/3 that price. :) I have never bought Anthropologie furniture before. I hope the quality will be okay.

I have a couple of smallish pieces from them..a small dresser, nightstands..these are from India as far as I understand. the quality..well let's say it's no Barbara Barry for Baker Furniture lol. but it's totally fine for what these pieces are. They were also shipped with regular delivery..so 15 dollars shipping I think-due to the smaller size..and bought them on sale as well

I imagine though they have very different pieces in their collections as they import/deal/buy from so many manufacturers and designers..that's one of the advantages of the store as I see it. For example most of their shoes I wouldn't be purchasing, I have very capricious feet and am very picky; but some are truly spectacular. Of course they are usually the most expensive too, but not always.

Rocky, Pics please, both of the new built-in and the anthro piece? Love looking at your house and your style.

Thanks aprilneverends! I'm not expecting a high end piece. I did read a review on anthropologie of the bar - it was beautiful but scratched easy. I really just liked the color. :)

nutsaboutplants-Thank you!!! I will! Nothing much on the addition yet except that we got permits and it is mapped out on the ground. I suspect that on Tuesday things will start. My biggest dilemma is bathroom tile. I am unable to make a decision. :(

you ask too many people:)

take me-I usually don't ask anybody, I mean about things I'm able to decide about..I suffer quietly all by myself..:)

well I discuss with my husband if it's a huge purchase like tile..and in general, if it's something big, either in terms of size or importance-we discuss things.

it's personal of course-sometimes -very rarely-i do ask just to listen to my inner reaction..which is often a strong "no" lol. So that's how I know for sure-by elimination.

I do ask too many people - LOL -but this time I was showing it to friends as I was excited about the tile. They all remarked that they thought it was too busy. The more I looked at it, the more I realized that I agreed with them. There is a line every two inches... Now I am thinking of marble, or fake marble. :)
