Brass Clad Home Bar Counter with Sink and Tambour Shutters

This is the one you buy for the house, and the house, conveniently, cannot object. A curved bar counter clad in brushed brass, black top with a raised ledge for serving across, a steel sink set in with it's own tap, sockets for the kettle or the blender, drawers for the openers and stirrers, open shelves for bottles and glasses and black tambour shutters that roll across the curved ends when the intezaam needs to disappear.

You will explain it as mehmaan-nawazi, for guests, for parties and the first three evenings it serves will be you, alone, making chai at a bar counter and feeling like a man in a film. That is a complete and legitimate use. Give it the corner of the living room facing the seating or the dining room's short wall.

The sink wants a plumbing point nearby or a dry life as an ice well, the brass and top take a damp cloth and the shutters roll best when nothing is leaning on them. Roughly counter height, built to be stood behind.
