Well, another lunch hour spent looking at these builds...

This bar front that PHINZ did, truly inspires me, that lighting sells it.

TABOODAN might be on to something with this tounge and groove paneling (how about on the ceiling?)

PHINZ wall covering is by far my favorite style, I like the bamboo slats on the wall too, but don't think I want the bar and walls to match

TABOODAN and this bamboo wall covering looks amazing, how sweet would that look on the bar with the accent lighting

MARKMYWORDS and the bamboo and reed ceiling is truly awesome, I would add some fish netting to part of it

So those are some of the styles I like....need to make some decisions and start budgeting and procuring.

Looked briefly on-line at lunch, not sure I am going to find much bamboo/thatch/reed locally here in Dayton/Cincinnati so will have to make a spreadsheet and look at costs for shipping and such.

Preferred sequence of construction (all pending budget/material availability):

  1. Any electrical that requires demolition (can lights to something else, getting power to the bar island
  2. Ceiling and wall coverings
  3. Bar
  4. Flooring/trim
  5. ACCESSORIZE for the next decade

Each of those will be a major undertaking and a lot more research, I'm thinking this will take close to a year if not longer at the pace I am already making decisions.
