I'm trying to find gels (like they use in photography and theaters) to cover the flourescents. Then I'll probably add some atmosphere with burlap or something like it. I definitely will add some more lights - I like the idea of hanging them near the ceiling and being directed toward the ground. I'm envisioning lots of greenery and tikis scattered along the perimeter of the room, which would be great with a variety of spotlights on them. TikiLaLe, The bar will be L-shaped: 8 feet long with a shorter 4-foot section that runs around a corner of the room. Once I begin taking some "before" photos, I'll add them. Let's hope the "after" photos will be in shortly after that ... I'm hoping by spring. By the way, I think I've decided on shag carpeting for the flooring. Do I go deep black or fire red?
