Tolbert's Bar

Here are a few photos of the bar at Tolbert's Restaurant in Grapevine. This was designed and built to feel like an old western style turn of the century bar. Notice the details in the wood trim on the top of the bar. I used Alder Wood in the construction to help create that old time feel. The two post were found at a junk yard and incorporated into the design. Along with fluted columns, the post create a strong focal point.The dark wood applique above the mirror came off an old chest mirror frame. The same stain was used on the entire bar. The difference is the dark areas, the stain was allowed to dry without being completely wiped off. The addition of the back lights brings depth to the bar too. The turn of the century lights over the bar were bought at Lowes. The back walls are done in a Faux Southwestern Adobe look. The counter tops are done in granite
