ANOTHER Something New at the Bar!

I think we are done! Ever since we moved here, we knew we wold build a bar downstairs. And by we I mean JOE would build the bar! This is HIS area and I wanted him to have it JUST the way he wanted it. Joe designed and built the whole area himself. The only thing he didn't do was put the granite in, and the mirrors were done because the guy could do it for less then we could buy the materials! All along we have thought about having the back wall done with stone. Joe did the bottom of the bar with REAL stone. It came out beautifully. Then he added lights to really show it off. But all along we have thought about doing the back wall in stone. However, the cost was alot and the amount of work was alot. So, we came up with an alternative. Wallapaer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, this is wallpaper. Even people who see this in person, have to walk right up to the wall and touch it to believe it is not real stone. It really looks dimensional! WE LOVE IT!!
 We do alot of entertaining down here.
 Moving here was a great move for us. We have made alot of GOOD friends and really enjoy having people here.

 It is a fun place to be and people seem to enjoy coming over.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT weekend everyone!!!
XO, Pinky

    Hi Pinky,

    The whole space is stunning. It has a wonderful cozy feeling even though it appears quite large.

    Wonderful job.

    Thanks so much for your visit.

      He is VERY handy, can do just about anything. He did everything here; the plumbing, electrical, cabinets etc.
