i have just had the most glorious stoned vision. its a vision of the guys new bar. the bar is the coolest thing in the world, so my mind has been dwelling on it endlessly as my mind does. its been dreaming, lol. but this vision came to me, and i had to write it down so i don't lose it, because i think it is actually damn good.
its a vision for what i would do if i were in charge of decorating it. kevin has been having us think about our place a lot, and what we could do to make it look good. that bar is in such an awesome little place there, that i was trying to think of simplistic ways to uber pimpasize it in the good old fashion stoned wank style. this is the part of my mind that turned that whole happy hardcore album into a motion picture about a street racer that had a level of detail not even i knew existed. i can actually see the bar in my mind with my minds layer of style overlayed. in reality, it would probably look really dumb, but it looks cool now.
first, paint the two walls that are exclusive to the bar area black. all black, the one with the window, and the one on the back wall so you aren't disrupting anything else in the room. then paint the bar black, but keep it shiny and smooth, because that is the best part of the bar. but all black is impossible, there is no way it works, it loses you. so, on the corner of the room that the two black walls touch, you take a strip of metal, regular grey gunmetal whatever. you give it a little curve so it fits in the corner snug, and rivet it all the way down to give it a real industrial yet structural quality. but make it realish looking, like is actually holding the walls together. then you accent the very outer edges of the bar with the same, 3 more strips of the exact same metal in the exact same curve, just flipped so it covers the corners, then rivet it down. really thin though, so it doesn't really get in the way and with the corners completely rounded in or sealed off so you can't hurt yourself at all. but yeah, rivet that down so you now have all the most vital edges encased in metal. the one across the front, the vertical strip down at the very outer corner, then another strip along the top towards the kegorator to make the t. it is kind of like writing block letters with half the lines so they are just shadows. you are just accenting the edges to imply the rest of the room which is kind of almost undistinguishable because its all black.
so that takes care of the bar and the walls. we need more color though. the actual bar bar part back behind needs a color, i'm thinking dusty blue, kind of trying to keep out of the way but unable to hide how cool of a color it actually is. it would go so well with both the black and the metal colors i think. the kegorator is already black and silver, it goes right in anyways. you could have cabinets in the back, but the doors on the cabinets can be entertaining in some way, add something you know. have two doors that open out, both the same kind of dusty blue, but on the ends with the hinges, have a strip of dusty blue, then a strip of black wood vertically, then the rest of the door blue again. like, just a line of black. and to hold the door together, so lodged over the strip and riveted on, actuallyl holding the door together is a corner of the same metal, kind of curved like a corner of a square after you cut out a circle.
this is the best part though. to go along with the mirror idea which was awesome btw, and to make sure that window doesn't look so out of place, you have "mirrors" on the wall flanking the cabinets. except they aren't mirrors per se. i mean, all a mirror is is a piece of glass with black paper behind it. the wall is already black, all you need for a mirror is a piece of glass hanging on the wall. but instead, you could have the glass off the wall maybe an inch or two, with huge rivet looking things inset in the four corners holding it up and out of the wall. i think, i'm not sure, but i think you would get this really cool reflection effect that would make it look like you were looking through a window back inside the party. they would be windows into the room you are already in. i can see it just kind of fucking with the eye and giving a half mirror half window impression. it would be a kick ass thing, i think, since there are no windows on that wall. its kind of abrupt.
it would be great. you could keep the tv on the kegorator, its already black. you could accent other things with more cool metal stuff, because metal stuff is usually cool, you just usually don't have a reason to have stuff made of metal. well, now you do. the great thing is, its all so simple. it only uses one color, really. the rest is just black with varying levels of shine. i mean, honestly, it is. tell me you can't see it now. kind of draw it all out in your head, i think it could actually work in that little spot without fucking up the rest of the room, and it would be so cool. it is kind of a bold statement though.
