Number 8: Have a Bar Worth Bragging About
"You may want to hide the good stuff, but a solid bar display is an uncompromisable must-have. A bar cart or hutch is a stylish way to store your goods, but a simple serving tray on the countertop will perfectly suffice. Invest in a nice set of bar tools, at least one pair of nice wiskey glasses, and a few quality bottles of booze (at least for show)."
Shown above is the photograph that accompanied this suggestion online. Pictured below is a photograph of the bar serving tray in our kitchen. The contents reflect what I like to mix. The gin, olives, and vermouth is for martinis. The Cointreau and Patron Citronge is for sidecars. Maybe I'll get a decorative decantor for the brandy that those require since I don't really care for the (unpictured) Christian Brothers VS bottle.
