thanks!!...what was cool about the cabinets is that there already was a shelf built into each one...this determined where the windows would be located....i then built a three-sided box, wrapped it in burlap and that created the shadowbox effect otherwise, one could look through and see the contents of the cabinet.....i left the top open and lite the display case with 2 rope lites, 6 ft. long....one on the top, one on the bottom and a red one under the drink rail to throw light on the facade....on the right side of the bar is a 4 outlet junction box inside the bar....this is where i plug all the bar lites in. the rope lites throw enough lite into the cabinet that i can see which bottle of booze i'm grabbin from the backside......this kills 2 birds with one stone. i also utilized the soffit as a place to store glasses, coasters and what-not as it is open on the backside of the bar and acts as a nice storage space for bar stuff....
