HGTV's Alison Victoria Shares Her Favorite Part Of Her Stunning Vegas Home
HGTV star Alison Victoria, best known for her shows "Windy City Rehab," "Kitchen Crashers," and the newest series "Sin City Rehab," offered a tour of her gorgeous Las Vegas home, featuring a mix of both vintage gems and modern luxuries. Her home is inspired by two places she adores: Cabo and the Mediterranean, taking influences from both to create an eclectic yet resort-like design that reflects her personal style. With a Parisian green-marble-veined fireplace surround, an arched antique wooden front door salvaged from a church in Spain, and a unique soaking bathtub with a gold exterior and luxe green interior, her Vegas home exudes plenty of organic and vintage appeal. However, while these moments certainly deserve praise, Victoria says, "My favorite part is the bar."
Alison Victoria shared on TikTok that when she purchased her Vegas abode, she knew that the grand open space directly between the entryway and the living room was meant to be the dance floor. Flanking this entertainment space is a gorgeous vintage bar. As an avid entertainer, Victoria adds, "It wouldn't be my house without a bar." The bar became the centerpiece for the space, flowing right into the dance floor and becoming the perfect spot for hosting gatherings. Those looking for jaw-dropping home bar ideas that will transform their homes into the ultimate hangout spot should take notes on Alison Victoria's antique bar setup.
The antique bar from a Chicago speakeasy
Alison Victoria sourced the original piece that would become the front facade of her home bar setup from an old speakeasy in Chicago. Victoria says, "I had to pay homage to my first city." The star of "Windy City Rehab" uplifted the vintage bar with rich, black paint. She left the brass arm and foot rails unlacquered and refinished the wooden countertop. The bar back may not be original, but Victoria perfectly integrated the piece with the front bar by using a matching paint color, wood finish, and brass details on the hardware.
If you're looking for tips for perfectly styling your home bar, you can mimic Victoria's design. Adorning the back countertop of her home bar is an array of skeleton bottles and mini sombreros as a nod to one of her favorite places, Cabo. Gold vintage metal lamps flank each side of the bar front for added antique flair, closely matching the brass patina on the bar railings. Sourcing an antique bar can be a great way to add a vintage touch to your home. Alternatively, you can find antique bar furniture, fixtures, or decor to style a newer bar in your space. If you enjoy DIYs, HGTV's Nate Berkus transformed a dusty armoire into a stunning wet bar, which could be a good alternative for those craving vintage pieces without the hefty price tag.
