It would depend on what type of liquor you buy. Taller bottles might not fit. We have an old stereo cabinet as a bar. The taller bottles are on top, but smaller bottles and water bottles are inside. I really liked this one repurposed from an armoire. Given that you can get these for next to nothing, you might want to consider it. Here is a link that might be useful: repurposed armoires

@laurafhallon @Kathi steele. Thanks so so much for the suggestion and link, but I don't want to see the mess in glass and the CB cart is totally my taste but it would never hold the amount of scotch etc bottles DH needs to 'collect I was afraid it's too much dark wood, and that another color would be a mess...any brilliant ideas out there? I could rearrange furniture of necessary....

How do you feel about just placing tv above console table (shouldn’t be too high and you will get used to it) and having one less piece of furniture will benefit the space. Place love seat facing tv, matching chair with a small table/lamp/art centered on wall - see below. Mission chair on a bit of an angle near console. Can‘t find a great example, but would sort of feel like this. Look of wall with chair

Seattle, we had very early cable in my area or we would have had no television at all in most of my town. We lived at a relatively high spot in town and my neighbor up the street (who built his own TVs from scratch (early color) had a huge aerial tower with an additional pole on it with an antennae on top of that and I remember it falling off the tower and swinging down into the yard and burying one of the ends in my neighbor's leg (the homeowner). All when there were little kids standing around watching it happen. (We also played with Jarts and bow and arrow so we lived dangerously). Anyway we mostly had early cable, but it was still only the 3 networks and then public TV. When cell phones came in I had to get a carrier that had service where I grew up (one of the last dead spots in the country it seems like) and there are still significant dead spots for cell service. (And the satellite radio would go out for a second at one spot in our driveway and at one spot downtown at least until 2018, which is the last time I was there. And this is in PA, not anything too remote.
