My idea was to build light boxes that would serve as shelves upon which I could display some of my cocktail glasses, bottles, swizzle sticks and other things that would be illuminated by up lighting. I built the boxes with a shelf inside to hold a neon light fixture and drilled a hole and routed a channel in the back to run the wiring. I painted the boxes in the hopes of making them look like something from PNG. Maybe I should have thinned the paint more to make it look more like stain. Since they are attached to the wall behind the bar I am thinking of putting bamboo poles and fish netting over them so I don't knock everything off during a cocktail mixing frenzy.
