Liquor cabinets/bars

Least child-proof area ever...

Anyone have any good solutions for a closet/lockable liquor cabinet with tons of bottle storage that would fit all this crap? I haven't looked too much yet online but I thought I would see if you guys had anything similar that you liked.

Not much help here, either, as all of ours is in a cabinet (built in). Do you have extra pantry space? Top of the fridge (seems like I see this a lot when visiting people)? Any extra cupboard space at all? Those would be my first thoughts before moving to something freestanding.

We have a shelf from Ikea that we mounted high enough that we don't have to worry about it. We even have our stemware hanging underneath.

If you don't have pantry/closet space, I would get a new piece of furniture. I don't think that piece can be baby proofed. My grandparents used a dry sink with a lock to contain their liquor--my brother now uses that piece of furniture to keep his toddler from breaking any more bottles. My parents hid the liquor in the back of the pantry behind canned vegetables. I was seventeen before I found their liquor supply. Our is in a high pantry cabinet.

Thanks guys! I think I'll file this away under the "worry about in another 9 months" catagory. We don't have much space so I think well have to get something free standing to put in this things place, although I like the wall shelf idea with glass storage.

FYI - This is the shelving unit we have and we bought the glass storage brackets from Bed Bath and Beyond, similar to these. We were just looking to clean up the area and make it easier to see what we have, but it came out really nicely and is childproofed without having to do anything extra.
