I ordered the French Doors through a lumber yard. Had to have them delivered "knocked down" because pre-hung units would not make it down the stairs. Home Centers were unable to have them delivered knocked down. They came primed and we painted them. The glass has been frosted with a 3M window film available from Home Centers. I obtained the theatrical film from a specilty lighting place in, I believe, Skokie IL. I'll try to find the paperwork this week for you. It's been several years so no idea if they are still in business. It was an investment but I can tell you that blue rope lights delivered turquois color and DW was not going for that! Buy the glass block and construct the glass block wall first! VOICE OF EXPERIENCE We did it last and it was a "*itch" getting the last row in place. We purchased sufficient block to define their placement and height in order to size the bar but thought installing them last was the correct sequence - smarter now for your benefit. Installing the block was relatively simple - if you've ever mixed any mortar, have a level, rubber mallot and a straight line you're set. It took us parts of 2 days to built it. Purchased from Menards and they and the manufactures website gave us the need-to-know information. The corner blocks are the expensive part but made the look we wanted. We use the bar often. Not just for entertaining, but for project work space and for food prep of things when lots of counter space is needed. Rule here is we do not carry things to the basement and just set them on the bar! We would truly miss not having a second kitchen. Best of luck with yours. I'll see if I have info on the film and post here if I do.

Almost done - 1st level roof stained a grey - much softer on the eye Porch done - ceiling painted the FB lt blue (same as shutters) thanks les for encouraging me there lots of little details were done - the owner of paint co. has incredible attn to minute detail - he took all the hardware sconces, door hardware, house #, and did a stain, metallic, laquer - all shutter hardware painted black Few things left wires hanging, 2nd coat on porches - painting risers - garage etc but she is looking good This may help Val - w/the door ?'s that glass comes out & screen insert will go in - speaking of detail I think I should get a brass(?) screen in there Thanks all who offered help, advice, encouragement

Unfortunately, Behr doesn't have the hex values of the colors online. Maybe they're on the back of the card? They can tell you the balance between red, green and blue, I think it is. When each color first popped up on my screen, Riviera Beach read rather pink to me; Mushroom Bisque seems like a Band Aid, and the Perfect Taupe I suspect will have a purple undertone, which would really make the cabs look orange. How about Basic Khaki Woven Straw Sandstone Cliff

I think it will look beautiful in a creamy white. I’d do charcoal (BM Charcoal Slate or FB Downpipe) garage doors u less you can replace and then 100% they should be a warm medium wood. I’d replace that section of diff materials in The garage gable with natural shakes and replace All the ornamental stuff with beams. Then do your landscaping like an English garden. It will be so gorgeous.
