@Michelle Thank you SO much for your thoughtful response. I really love some of your ideas! I did a (very quick) mock up in Paint. I added another shelf above the bar, and made the back wall gray. I'm also playing with using fewer, larger frames for the gallery. What do you think of this layout? And would you do black metal frames or a gray / dark wood frame, maybe?
Also, for above the bar we were planning on decorating the shelves with barware (glasses, decanters etc.). But i like the idea of adding in other "bookshelf" type décor. Do you have any advice here?
