Collages

These are two of 5 panels printed on photo paper that will be installed by a wall paper hanger tomorrow in the cabinets underneath the bar. Will photograph it and post when done.

Wood Slat Wall

Slow going, lots of measuring to do this type of wood treatment on a wall. Mike finished it today. Now need to decide on sanding and keeping it natural wood, or painting. Very much leaning on keeping it wood, but really have to see how pinewood holds up to varnish. Not always that well. Will test tomorrow.

Bar top set

This happened actually late last week, but forgot to include the photo. Update for this weekend. The rest of the interior space floors will be done Sat. and Sun. Next week the patio will be poured, and I think all of the finish carpentry will be done in the bar. We will also have electricity turned on so the  best part for me will start. Playing with lighting at night. 

Tiki cabinet above dining.

Playing with color, not liking this. Tried 3 reds and a no go. Was my original choice, but does not work. Hey, I can admit when I am wrong. Leaning towards a light blue now that I really like. Also have 3 tile samples coming to possibly do a tile treatment in the cases. We shall see.

Bar cabinet

The underneath cabinet is taking shape. Bar face will be wallpapered in custom photo collage, lit from within the cabinet, trimmed in stainless and covered with glass panels. Filling with vintage tiki mugs, and nic nac from mid century lifestyle. 

Wood strip Wall

Something I saw in an architectural magazine from Europe called Objekt. We will go 12 ft high across the entire west wall in the bar area. above this will be the white wall that we will project vintage surf films and other relevant films to the overall mid century lifestyle. Does From Here to Eternity work? I know the pilot of Hawaii 5-0 does.

Kitchen Taking Shape

Equipment starting to be installed. A few minor changes to be made, looking good though.
