Well hello friend. How was your Thanksgiving? Full of family and food and more food? I hope so.
We went to Matt’s sister’s home, in a tiny town in California called Ramona. Ever heard of it? I hadn’t! It is so small they don’t even have a grocery store. I had to buy a few last minute supplies at the only store in town, the liquor store. Did you know you can buy pie at a liquor store? I did not, but now I do!
Speaking of liquor, you may take a look at this makeover and think you are looking at a hip new neighborhood bar. Nope. This room belongs to Frank, a guy who isn’t afraid to tackle big ideas, like say, building a posh pub-style mancave in his basement.
His over-the-top escapades over the years have earned him the nickname “Too-Far Frank,” which made naming this space pretty easy. Welcome to the Too-Far Bar!
Much more to see on his sister-in-law Tara’s blog Spot of Tea Designs.

December 1, 2014 at 3:30 PMThe beauty of small towns, ha. I lived in a tiny town a few years back, and while there was no grocery store (except for 25 miles away), there was a post office and a general goods store – which had evaporated milk and not condensed, which was odd!
And goodness, that is a fabulous bar! It doesn’t even resemble a basement any more!

As for the Too-Far-Bar, Frank can go to China at MY house if he wants! Such a fantastic improvement he’s done to the originally-dismal space!
