When it comes to adding maximum value and "wow" factor on HGTV's Rock the Block, the details matter. In Season 7, Episode 2, the competition moved to the Great Room, Foyer, and Den spaces. Design duo Taniya Nayak and Drew Lachey had a brilliant vision for this North Las Vegas residence: they wanted to create an expansive, open entertainment area complete with a bar, but they knew that having a busy bar in plain sight isn't always desirable in an elegant living space.

Their solution? A breathtaking, glass-enclosed wine wall that doubles as a secret entrance to a hidden speakeasy.

"Those wine racks are quite special, too," judge Michel Smith Boyd said as they explored the cellar in the episode.

The Design

To achieve their vision, Taniya and Drew enclosed the wine space with sleek, frameless glass, creating an elegant transition between the living area and the hidden bar. They opted for a beautifully minimal look using the VintageView Vino Pins Post System.

The installation features a precision wall-to-wall mounting setup:

• Anchoring: Posts are connected to the wall starting about a foot off the ground and anchored a foot from the ceiling.
• Offset: A tight 2" offset keeps the profile slim and modern.
• The Reveal: The true magic lies in the center. Out of the five columns of wine, the middle column is seamlessly mounted to a completely hidden door. Push past the Golden Bronze pins, and the wall opens to reveal a moody, fully-stocked speakeasy and bar area.
