"When you walk into my apartment, I want it to have the same feeling as walking into a whiskey bar"

Brian just moved into his first solo apartment and immediately reached out to make his new digs into the cozy and moody home he always wanted. However, it's important to still keep hints of his personality and life in the design. He already purchased the couch, bar, tv console and coffee table before contacting me, and was gifted a gorgeous, hand-crafted dining table by a friend -- so my main goal was to tie it all together, find the final pieces and create the mood. Thanks to facebook marketplace, we managed to find most of our pieces secondhand, keeping it extremely budget-friendly, and we created the cozy, whiskey bar feeling with a deep blue/green color (Salamander by Benjamin Moore), accent wallpaper in the dining room, and thrifting gorgeous glassware and decanter for the bar. All and all, I believe we achieved the goal.
