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.

thanks guys. I live in Ontario Canada. its just all this mumble jumble of lighting and plants is very complicated. when they say a plant needs low medium or high light... how does one define medium light accurately? I know most foliage plants u buy...dracaenas, pothos, ivy, philos, spaths, sans, zz, parlor palm, bamboo palm, dwarf scheffs, even coffee nana the list goes on with common indoor plants all need medium light. now ive been using a light meter on my cell phone walking around inside my living room at various spots away from windows like the interior of my living room where I wanna decorate with indoor plants the most rather then clutter my south-south west window sills of plants.. ive read on many websites if I go by foot-candles (which my phone light meter does) then medium light as a rule is approx. 75-150 ish foot-candles for more then a few hours daily...mind u early in the day and later in the day as the sun sets or rises one wont have 75-150 FC reading lol. but yea many of my spots in the interior of my room have readings from 75-150FC and as stated by many websites that's approx. medium light. even tho the interior locations in my apartment look dark to me..human eyes don't judge light good at all as we see different light then plants do.. even tho the interior locations look dark when I use my phones light meter I get readings of around 80-150 FC sometimes a lil higher! so im guessing if my light meter in a "dark" area still reads a higher FC like 80-150 ish reading I can go ahead and put a medium light plant there and save my hot blazing sunny window sills for amaryllis soon in stores, and my cacti, and my aloe, and my date palm seedlings and my lemon tree seedlings and my mango tree seedling im gonna start lol free plants r the best lol

I actually like the way you have it set up now. You do need to add accessories: lighting, art, a few more pillows, and drapes to soften the room. Add lighting to the sofa console too, along with a few books and other items. Don't crowd it, but it needs something to warm it up. I would add one more chair as someone posted above to make it a conversation area. Add the chair in front of the window facing the sofa area. The only piece of furniture that i would change is the TV console. It is too short and too high IMO. Go with something long and low and remove that small end table that is in the corner next to the tv console. ^ I like the floating console look, but you can also get a long freestanding console. In this particular application, the back wall is painted (near) black so the TV blends into the wall.

The second photo…is that another peaked doorway to the left of the fireplace? A sofa facing the fireplace with a chaise on the end near the window would work well. What is to the right of the fireplace? Picture please of the entire fireplace wall and the opposite side of that space would be helpful.
