Raising a counter top for bar area help
Comments (6)Maybe your real estate person is trying to tell you to de clutter. And the only way he can get that across is to tell you to hide stuff behind a raised bar. He’s wrong about the raised bar. It won’t hide anything. Declutter. Then do it again. Then clean and clean again. The first thing anyone thinks when they see a scent pot is what pet smell are they trying to hide. Nothing wrong with the counters either. They suit the home. Putting shiny new stone on top of 30 year old cabinets does not increase resale value....See MoreNeed Some Decorating Ideas for the space over fireplace and bar area

Comments (9)How about some miniature saloon doors? you can attach a little latch lock on it or a bolt lock and maybe put it in the back in case your toddler is tricky like mine and can unlatch almost anything. I found a few ideas on pinterest. They aren't incredibly hard to construct yourself...but they can be found on etsy. Here is a saloon style baby gate for a visual and this one is found on etsy. If that doesn't work for you, have you considered relocating the bar? We just just bought a house and turned our kitchen hutch that stored our plates and bowles and such, into a bar....eventualy I'm going to paint it but its really nice. My kids can't open the cabinets at all....See Morehelp. small front area needs update
Comments (4)i can’t really get past that shrub - literally. I think it needs to come out as it looks like it blocks access to door. With the shrub overpowering the entry, it doesn’t look like there’s room for any pots or planters. Would ypu consider removong it completely then showing us another view of entry from farther back? It's necessary to see more of the front to generate useful suggestions. There may be more room on right side of walkway to install entry enhancing items or plants....See Morermccaw
