We found a vintage(1950's) kitchen pantry/cabinet at a local antiques show. It was brought to the US by a dealer who is English and she and her American husband go over to Britain to buy stuff and then bring it over here to sell. We were struck by the unusual look of it and since we have a 50's formica kitchen table & chairs, we thought it would be nice to have this and perhaps modify it a bit. It has a fold down countertop which is perfect for mixing drinks and features a cool formica pattern. At first we didn't know exactly what we would do with it but after buying it anyway and dragging it home, we cleaned it up a lot and then repainted it and put in some foam like shelf paper. And oh yeah, a little bit of rum....... After it was all completed we made some drinks, stood back and said: BRILLIANT! We really have grown to love this little pantry uh... I mean RUM CABINET! Since we don't seem to have the right spot for a traditional home bar, this is doing quite nicely. Well, just wanted to share. CHEERS! 8FT
