| This house was built in 1997 as a spec. and was purchased just as we finished it. The bar and the basement were finished after the owners moved in. As you can see, it has a very impressive entryway. The kitchen and the interior trim won Best of Show. You have to remember what was being designed in cabinetry at that time to appreciate the design of the kitchen. There again, it was quite a departure from the norm for our area; so it was a big hit with the lookers. |
| Since the bar was not finished at the time, it was not entered in the show. The odd color in the pictures of the bar are neon lights bent to match the cabinets. There is a glass ceiling in the top of the uppers so the color of the light comes into those cabinets. It was impossible to get a really good picture to show this bar to its full potential. It has to be seen in person to be appreciated. The owners entertained a lot and were into all sports. He was a sportscaster and executive director of a local chapter of a national charity. She was a provost of a college at the time. She is now a president of a different college. She was also a member of the board of directors of a division of the NFL. While we were working there, Super Bowl tickets were delivered and I had to sign for them. That's the closest I will ever get to a Super Bowl game. The reason I'm showing the dartboard is because it's probably one of the most expensive ones ever made. It was hard to find glass that dark and it was very expensive. It had to match the black felt on the pool table. It was made and installed using the owners guidance and a tournament regulations rule book as guidelines. |
