A word of advice about the bar – unless you intend to throw A LOT of parties, they’re just a waste of space. My husband and I have bought and sold a few houses – the first thing that goes is the bar. Takes up too much space for such a limited use. The only one he did save was beautifully built, so he lowered it and turned it into an island.

Want to pass on a tip for the slate floor in the bathroom. Slate tile is verrry porous. I work in a factory and I am the only gal. We put that slate floor in the employee bathroom and, I’m not sure how to say this delicately, the “sprinkles” soak into the tile and STINK ALOT. Seal the tile you should be OK.
