Any creative ideas for storing liquor?
Trying to figure out something to hang on the wall or something. I want to keep it out of reach of my kids, so right now it's in a closet in the basement, but I'm thinking something up on the wall, out of their reach would work to. I like the idea of the picture below, but am thinking that might make me look like an alcoholic LOL

We have this collapsible bar thingie, hard to describe, but is has a locked cabinet in it where we keep the liquor.
Now how in the world we're going to childproof our kegerator is another mystery.

hide that shiit away. alcohol is not pleasant decor!
put a lock on the cabinet if you think your kids will get into it.
that wall mount thing pretty much only works in a frat house.
Any actual useful suggestions? I didn't say I was going to display it ffs, that is why I asked for storage suggestions, I just want it more accessible than a closet in my basement but still out of reach of my kids. Since apparently it wasn't obvious by the "LOL" I was kidding about the the picture above.

Yep, same here.
ETA: If I didn't have a high, out of reach cabinet I'd probably just put it on top of the fridge.
Gotta agree with EBB though: hide it away, don't display it!
Wait, you don't have the liquor cupboard? You know, the one above the fridge. That's where everyone keeps their liquor! LOL
Seriously though, everyone I know keeps their liquor either in the cabinet above their fridge or the one directly to the left of it (which is where ours is).
You need to clean out one of your high cupboards and keep it there.
Jodi, I thought the same thing.. That's where I keep casserole dishes and stuff I don't use because I can't reach up there. The liquor we keep in the hallway closet within our quick reach - high enough that DS can't reach it without a stool - but if he really wanted too, I suppose he could get it. But why do the hardstuff when the keg pretty much handi-accessible. DS has no interest in liquor or beer, so we're not marking the bottles or weighing the keg yet.
Just a few things to consider...Some liquor bottles are not as well constructed as others, so be careful if you plan to lie them down, as some will leak over time (especially the sticky ones). Make sure to put your coffee and cream based liquors in the front and use them, as they expire and get rancid. Don't put liquor in a different container unless you are just topping one of the same.
They sell mini-cabinets that double as a side/corner table....

You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
This is how we have been managing things thus far... Suppose when we move, we need to work on something different.
Just kidding. We don't have a basketball goal!

Cabinet?
