A Beaut' Boat Bar

by Kelley Graber interior designer, president of Kelley J. Interiors

Ready for some lakeside bar inspiration?

Entertaining is what we do at the lake, so why not make it easier and uniquely ideal for waterside fun?

Check out this boat bar within an area boat house. It’s the perfect space off the dock to get out of the sun, relax with family + friends, and mix up your favorite cocktail, ice tea— or whatever beverage may suit your fancy.

This was a super fun project for one of my clients. I called my cabinet maker, Woodwork Enhancing by Delagrange, and asked, “Do you want the challenge of making a bar look like a boat?” He was all in. We spent many hours together creating its design, and if I do say so myself, it came out perfectly.

While designing this bar I wanted to keep it as authentic as possible so I ordered actual boat cleats for cabinet pulls.

All aboard for lakeside cheers!
