Butler's Pantry Wine Nook

Purpose & footprint

• A tailored butler's pantry and wine nook: deep walnut lower cabinets under a honed cream marble-look counter, upper cabinets with fluted-glass doors softly glowing from interior lighting and blurring the glassware within, a full-height walnut wine wall with horizontal brass-railed bottle display and a glass-front beverage column with a plain unbranded face, a dedicated coffee station recessed into a marble-lined niche with a stone tray of cups, a marble slab backsplash, unlacquered brass hardware and a small brass prep faucet over a bar sink, herringbone oak flooring, one low bowl of figs as the only styling.

Design details

• Tailored butler's pantry & wine nook — roughly 70 sf
• A tailored butler's pantry where deep walnut lower cabinets carry a honed cream marble-look counter under upper cabinets with softly glowing fluted-glass doors. A full-height walnut wine wall holds bottles on horizontal brass rails beside a glass-front beverage column, and a dedicated coffee station recesses into a marble-lined niche. A marble slab backsplash, unlacquered brass hardware, a small brass prep faucet over a bar sink, and herringbone oak flooring finish the room. The intent is an entertainer's service core that feels like furniture — warm, lit from within, and precisely organized.

Illustrative allocation of the overall planning allowance across trades; these are not independently verified trade quotes. Site-specific costs may exceed these allowances.

Project assumptions

• Existing pantry footprint kept; no wall moves
• Counter priced as quartz marble-look, not natural marble
• Beverage column at a mid-spec trade allowance
• Wine wall sized for display, not conditioned storage

Options

• Keep sound existing components where compatible.
• Compare stock, semi-custom and custom selections before ordering.
• Confirm samples in the room’s natural light.

Trades & site requirements

• Carpentry and finish installation; confirm any specialist trade needs on site.
• Check access, working clearances, occupied-home protection, waste removal and delivery space.
• Check substrate condition, moisture and concealed services before installation.

Permits & engineering

• Verify local permit requirements and HOA restrictions before work; this concept does not establish an exemption.
• Confirm anchoring, concealed wiring and applicable fire-clearance requirements.

Sequence & duration

• Measure and inspect → confirm scope and selections → check approvals → order materials → protect the site → install → inspect and finish.
• 4–10 weeks
• Installation window excludes design, approvals, fabrication lead times and unforeseen repairs.

Estimate basis & inclusions

• $9,750–$14,400
• Adjusted sample planning allowance. Feasibility at this budget has not been verified against current supplier and trade quotes.
• Covers only the stated quantities and installation scope; decorative objects and adjacent rooms are not included.
• Site condition, access, material choice, waste, permit requirements and concealed damage can change the written quote.

Exclusions & unknowns

• Exact product selection and current availability are unknown.
