Give me 2 Pina Colada's.....

We've had an empty space in our living room since we moved in.  We kept thinking about what we wanted there but we finally found it.  Some of my readers might not think it was a necessary piece for our house, but it is.  We do a lot of entertaining and enjoy having a good time with friends. 

We were looking one day and found a wine cabinet that we liked.  The only problem was that it was open with no doors.  With the amount of dust here, I could only imagine how dusty our wine glasses and bottles would have been.  Until we found this one.  We love it. 

My parents bought this antique Whiskey/Scotch set for Trey last year in Boston when we were checking out some stores.  It's beautiful and has an etched sailboat.

It even has wheels which means we can move it around the room as we'd like.  There is a sliding glass door right next to it, so when it's cool outside, we can open up that door which goes out to the patio and position this just right so that people can come in and out and help themselves.
 The thing I love is that the top counter opens up to make a longer bar-like thingy so you can use it a few ways. If we turn it around we could put some high stools by it.
And as you can see, above the new cabinet, we put a picture of Sheikh Zayed (the founder of the country).  Man of the locals will have a picture of him in their home and so we thought we'd join along for fun. 

Come on over.  Drinks on us.
