Warm beer wouldn't suffice. Yet with all she had to manage - family, household and her job as a dental hygienist - Ann Emsley sometimes dropped the ball in the "have-a-beer-on-ice-for-my husband" department.
Emsley's creative solution gave her something to boast about, and fattened her wallet by $1,000, after she entered The Virginian-Pilot's Do-It-Yourself Contest.
The 2011 competition invited local do-it-yourselfers to submit their own projects within five categories: Best Kitchen Makeover, Best Bathroom, Best "All About Me" Room, Best Low-Budget Project and Best Outdoor Project.
The winner of each category receives $500. From the five category winners one is selected to receive an additional $500 for Best Overall Project.
At a cost of $371, Emsley's innovative bar took the prizes for Best Low-Budget and Best Overall projects while transforming her lackluster, over-stuffed pantry into a useful and designer-style focal point.
