ANOTHER Something New at the Bar!!!!!

I shared  when Joe built our bar, when he added real stone to the bottom and then when we added the stone WALLPAPER to the wall. Yes. that really IS wallpaper and  even people who are standing right next to it have to touch it to make sure it is wallpaper!!! If you would like to see the original posts of the bar you can see them here: http://designsbypinky.blogspot.com/search/label/bar  Now there is another something new!!! When he first built the bar he decided to buy some tap handles to display which beers he had for our guests to choose from. This is the original set up for the tap handles.

 Well, he now has QUITE a collection!!! He actually painted this wall, installed the electric switch, hung the shelf and added the tap handles and lights while recuperating from his hip replacement!!!! You can NOT keep that man down!

 He got this idea at a place we frequent up near Strasburg, Pa.

 And he couldn't stop there so we also have 2 MORE shelves of them across the room!

 We kind of have a little tribute to our Dads on the stone wall. This is Joe's Dad, he was a pilot in WW2 and then after the war as his career. I really miss him, he was such a fun guy!!!

 My Father was an artist. My maiden name was Martini, so he did this of his hand and my Mom's holding Martini glasses. I miss him too, even though I don't really remember him: he died when I was 4.

 He did not sign a lot of his work so this is a real treasure to me.

 I thought I would include a shot of the stone under the bar for those of you that missed it.

 This is a drawing of a stained glass window that a neighbor is going to make for Joe. The blue squares that you see are tape, holding the bottles etc. onto the paper....they are not part of the design:)

 

Thanks for your visit. I am longing for Spring. We got some more snow yesterday and it was absolutely GORGEOUS this morning. Every branch of every tree and bush looked like God painted them with snow. I wish I could have gotten a picture to share with you.

XO, Pinky
