Renting is a terrible disease that never ends well.

I hope you soon recover and can fabricate a resplendent bar in a new home with your new found woodworking acuity.

That being said, I lived in an apartment a few blocks from the White House a few years back that was smaller than the Narrow Escape. My kitchen was in a closet. My bathroom had a poorly drawn mural of a volcano and tiki mugs (done by me) in pastels (which by the way, bake into paint if you put them in a hot bathroom that constantly sees steam and no ventilation). My living room (and by living, I mean the only room of the apartment) was my record shelves, my stand alone tiki bar complete with raffia to cover the small closet behind it that held all my food and to give the illusion that my apartment wasn't tiny, my yucca plant (for ambiance) and a futon.

If you want it badly enough, you'll have that tiki bar.
