Swanky was hard at work on the bar yesterday while I was out buying up tons of Halloween decor on sale. 'Came home to see the bar in full scale. Up to this point we've just had measuring tape laid out on the floor as sort of a pattern for the bar - seeing it built up, all 40 inches tall and 10 feet long, really changes the perspective...** this thing is mammoth!**
This room has always been dedicated to be 'the bar' someday but now the bar is the room. Having said that, I'm looking for suggestions too - the bar is now truly the focal point of the room so, it's got to be done well! We have some ideas as to decor on the front of the bar but, the rest we're undecided on. What should we put on the bar top? What do we do with the front and sides? Tile, Bamboo, matting, etc...???? It is so large (bigger than what I've seen in a lot of restaurants) that we may be limited on materials, just due to the cost alone. I had notions about what to do with it before - now that it's real, and huge, I am not sure anymore... Suggestions anyone?
