Something weird to be addressed

When I got up on the painter's ladder to find our water heaters Greg and I spotted a fan that is completely open to the outside... no screen or anything. I have no idea how we don't have flocks of birds flying around inside. He's checking on getting something put over that.

Ladies Room Paint

Looks great. The red on the doors was lighter than I expected and the color inside the stall doors looks much browner here and in real life.

Men's Room and Hallway

Hallway doors will have been painted the light trim color by now, but this is how things stood yeasterday morning.

Main Room Paint - Trim Color

Here is where they were with the lighter trim color when I left yesterday morning. Pretty hard to tell how it's going to look, but it's very light... not stark, but very light.

Main Room Paint - Darker Color

The darker color for the retail section. You can see how it looks in relation to the mid-tone, the trim color, and a piece of white paper against it. Again, the lighting is shite.

Main Room Paint - Middle Tone

The lighting is terrible, but you can see where this is headed. Looks good, makes the ceiling and girders pop.

Painted walls

Love this color combo; I know we don't have much exposed brickwork, but painting some of the dark wood on the walls might be an option.

Breaking up blank walls

What about using reclaimed metal panels to break up blank wall space, especially higher up? Just thinking.

tap handles/back splash ideas

I know this is sort of "the cart before the horse" but I'm just collecting cool ideas and photos in one place at this point.

Love these simple wooden handles and marble back splash. Hate the mirror. Tørst bar in Brooklyn.

Reclaimed wood and subway tile.. very cool. This is Bier-Station in Kansas City; they have coolers and offer on and off premise; similar to what we are thinking, and they are rated one of the best beer bars in the US.

Table seating option #1

Copies of (very expensive) Tolix stools. Available on Overstock and Amazon... they are on sale on Overstock for $99 a pair today. Great reviews, rated at 250lbs. A consideration for table seating. I'd like something in a similar "Industrial" vein for bar seating, but with backs if possible.

Shuffleboard table

This thing is massive, but the price is great. As we discovered yesterday, the only way it could work in this space is positioned parallel to the front, so it's still a "maybe"
