My poor hubby walked out this morning and saw his prized planter destroyed, and I’ve never seen him so heartbroken over a plant 🤣

They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.
Fingers crossed they don’t make a salad bar out of the rest of our garden 🙃

Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a little staycation last week and it was everything I needed- relaxing, fun, and filled with so much good food! 😋

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶

Restoring an Old Bar Top

Back towards the beginning of the year, we were able to score this incredible bar piece for our downstairs. You have heard me say before that we want to transform this area into a vintage inspired game room. This was actually one of my visions that I mentioned in my 2021 goals post. So when we stumbled across this bar while out antique hunting, we knew we had to have it for that area. Our mission is to keep things as vintage and authentic as we can for that space. This piece checked off all the things on our list so it was a great purchase for us. The only thing we had to do to it was restore the old bar top. I thought it would be fun to share with y’all just how easy restoring an old bar top can be!

Old Bar
I mean look how beautiful this piece is! We couldn’t just leave it behind!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Background on the Bar

We ended up finding this beauty at one of our local antique stores, Antique Tobacco Barn. We frequently visit this place and have found some great pieces from it.

However, I will say that some of their pieces can be a little pricey, but they sure are unique! Just like this bar.

We haven’t ever seen anything quite like it so we thought it would definitely be worth our money for sure.

Bar in Antique Store
This is where we first laid eyes on this beauty!

The cool thing was that this bar came directly out of an old seafood restaurant near the beach. It isn’t a reproduction or anything like that.

So when you know more background on a piece like that, it does make it more valuable. And you can actually justify spending the money on it since you know no one else will have anything like that!

I do like to find good deals and not splurge too often, but when you see something like this, sometimes you just have to!

Sand the Bar Top Down

After lugging this big ol piece home (we did have to enlist my brother’s help for this part), we were ready to start fixing it up!

Thankfully, the bar was in such great shape and didn’t need too many things for improvement. This project ended up just taking us a couple of hours from start to finish.

The first thing we did was to take our electric sander and sand the bar top down a little.

Before Restoring the Bar Top
Here is what the bar top looked like before we did anything to it yet.

It didn’t need too much sanding here, just a little bit. We wanted to get the surface of it nice and smooth before we applied the wood sealer.

If you aren’t planning on actually using the bar to set drinks down on, then you don’t necessarily have to do all this.

If it is just mainly for decoration, then it wouldn’t be worth all your time to fix up the bar top.

Sanding the Bar Top Down
Sanding the top down.

But like I stated earlier, our plan is to create a huge game room downstairs eventually. We would like to be able to have pool table and/or foosball table down there.

So it would be beneficial to have another place to set your drinks down on besides just a small coffee table.

You may also remember our railroad cart coffee table we restored a little while back too. This rustic piece is also located in our downstairs area so the bar goes very well with it too!

Apply the Wood Sealer

After we sanded the top down real good, we cleaned the top off really well. My hubby used his air compressor and blew off any extra debris and/or dust hanging around on it.

We wanted to have a nice, clean surface before applying the wood sealer on it.

Already, it was looking so good and new again! It’s amazing how just a little TLC can really fix up an old piece of furniture like this.

Applying the wood sealer
Look at what a difference just a little wood sealer makes!

After it was all clean, we applied the wood sealer. We used the same product that we did for the railroad cart table too.

That way we didn’t have to spend any extra money on another product. It really brought out the shine and luster to the bar top.

Using a good wood sealer is definitely the way to go when restoring an old bar top!

Apply the wood sealer
This sealer was super easy to apply as well.
Bar Top with wood sealer
You can already tell such a difference from the wood sealer.
Applying last coat of wood sealer
Only took a total of two coats!

Conclusion

This was definitely a fun and easy project for us to do. I am so happy with this bar piece and how it turned out. It really fit the vision for our downstairs vintage game room.

I can’t wait to add in more and more pieces and see what we can find next. It’s a slow process for sure because since we want everything to be vintage, it unfortunately costs more.

But I’d rather take our time and have authentic pieces that we love than cheaper, easier to find pieces instead. Plus, as you know, I always love finding an older piece and bringing it new life again!

Restoring an Old Bar Top
Pin for later!

    That’s a fun DIY project! We have an outdoor bar in our backyard, and it gets SO much use during the warmer months. I love that we can stay outside and enjoy the sunshine without having to run inside (or have guests run inside) all the time. We also keep a bar fridge under the bar to keep everything cold without having to use the kitchen fridge.

    This is so cool! I love the look of it and that it’s authentic. Those pieces can be hard to find and are definitely worth spending a little extra for their uniqueness. I love how just adding the sealer made such a big difference. I can’t wait to see your game room when it’s all done!

    Oh wow this was an awesome find & it’s great that it didn’t need much work! I also like that it isn’t a reproduction & you know it came from an old seafood restaurant!

When your sweet potato vine was thriving… until When your sweet potato vine was thriving… until the deer called in for a midnight buffet 😭🦌
My poor hubby walked out this morning and saw his prized planter destroyed, and I’ve never seen him so heartbroken over a plant 🤣

They left it alone all summer, but last night? Total devastation.
Fingers crossed they don’t make a salad bar out of the rest of our garden 🙃

Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a Tourist in my own town? Yes please! 🙌 I took a little staycation last week and it was everything I needed- relaxing, fun, and filled with so much good food! 😋

One of the highlights? A full-blown date day in downtown Asheville 🏙️ We kicked things off with brunch at @theblackbirdrestaurant, wandered through cute shops like @mastgeneralstore + @anthropologie 🛍️, and wrapped it up with an incredible dinner at @ukiahrestaurant (10/10 recommend) 🍜

And of course… we couldn’t leave without chocolate from @asheville.chocolate 🍫 because dessert is a must, always.

Already missing my staycation life, but what a way to close it out! 🥹🫶

This is me every time we travel: no idea where we’re going, where we parked, or how we’re getting there 😂 I just grab my bag, follow my husband like a lost puppy, and hope for the best! Solo travel? Couldn’t be me, my anxiety would never allow it 😅 I’m proudly a passenger princess and he’s the human GPS. Balance, right? 😉✈️
