Love the stone wall! Is this a greek or italian restaurant? That may help to know. And is this fine dining or casual?

greek restaurant-its traditional greek restaurant

is for good food

The wall with the candles looks great.

In the first pic - that looks like a ghost to the left of the ladder!

okay, thanks for the extra pics.....love the wall with the lights too! okay, so first off, i think round tables with blue table cloths. A water feature of some kind would be cool as well. I think some BIG pieces of artwork on the stone wall would be nice too, one piece in between each of the columns. I have to come back tomorrow to make more comments, but you have a great space to build from!

I can not understand what you see and say that.What color will go on the walls;

The second set of pictures, the one with the ladder leaning on the wall?

To the right of the arch on the back wall you could make that your wine rack space perhaps.

Do you have concrete floors? If you do, you may want to stain them and do a cool finish that is uneven in color. i'll try and find an example.

will upload more good pictures and many more.

self for barrels I've already started under the stairs today we gave the drums for repairs.

I have a few white marble with gray waters.

The stone wall looks good. What will be there - the bar?

not will not the bar but probably put sofas and tables.

Nikos, give us a full round (sequential) of photos. Tell me about the room(s) beyond your three arches. Will you have banquettes with some sort of privacy draperies in that area? I'm a huge fan of Greek food and go to St. Louis on a regular basis. I love the private areas with banquettes. Will you have your belly dancers?, as that makes a huge difference for your layout. I think with Greek restaurants, ambiance is so important.....and most especially when your food is authentic.

As a performing belly dancer - I certainly appreciate adequate space to perform. The customers do, too as no one likes the corner of a silk veil accidentally dipped in their hummus!

I've got to run, but I think a sandy color for the walls would feel very elegant. Maybe take the lightest color from the brick.

Nooooo! You never cease to amaze me you little vixen! :)

saw restaurant impossible once where the did a greek restaurant the had booths around outside edge of restaurant not many but made good use of room as you don't have to leave so much between tables then the used wine barrels and had them laqured to preserve and had roung tops cut for them. they used wood then used table clothes, then had glass cut to fit the top less laundry and easier to clean
that episode he used a lot of blue for all the accents white walls with very traditional greek artwork
love your stone wall it looks very european careful how you cover it . the also used a lot of yellow in his colors but not bright yellow

I am sure your food will be amazing! I have never eaten food prepared by someone from Greece that was not scrumptious. Just please don't hang fake grape vines they look tacky. Sounds like you have some of Houzz best helping you. I love the stone wall and barrels.

Manon that is impressive! Your dancing I mean but of course all your great suggestions too:) Mint I love that first picture.

Thank you, Susan; I was thinking a wall could be painted trompe l'oeil to resemble that. :)

sand color what meaning there is one example;

I like the Mint Design's idea of continuing the wood arches on the back wall and insetting the last with a mirror.

Here's a photo of the sand color I had in mind (ignore the decor).

What are you planning to do with the wine barrels?

Great color, Manon!

Nikos, I believe this is another photo of Manon is describing as a sand color. http://www.ehow.com/list_7278760_sand-paint-colors.html

these are photographs. you could have them printed on canvas in a large format...3 examples anyway. one tablecloth fabric idea and i have 2 others.

Do you plan to paint the woodwork around the arches and the wainscoting? I like the sand Idea. It would warm up the stone wall. Blue and white is so cliche for a greek restaurant. Actually - I kind of like the lights and collection of framed photos in the last pic. Gives it the feel of a family-run place.

2 tablecloths; the solid blue one I would use either white napkins or something printed in the blues (turquoise & royal), with a rustic type chair for the tables. a beautiful couch against your stone wall and some off-white overstuffed chairs.

I carefully read all of your ideas and thank the staff very barrels I have sent for cleaning is OAK 20 years. liked the idea of color-the sand will upload photos to see the progress.

In the first picture I enclose an antique wood, consider using for investing in pieces that I've put the osb UP pano.stin second photo is a table thinking of placement (;) in the third photo is a cupboard in which he created and I want the if your opinion matches the style of the restaurant.

?

someone to add something if I missed?

The antique wood is beautiful! Please use it wherever you can.
The table...I prefer round tables with chairs, more visually pleasing. I also like tablecloths and cloth napkins. The cupboard? What is its purpose?
The wall with the candle or light niches...I suggest having that painted like a cloudy night sky so the lights will appear as stars; perhaps also the ceiling with reflective stars painted on it. I am enclosing 4 photos...the 1st and 2nd are painted, the 3rd is a reflective mural from Ireland, and the last is fiber optic. I hope these help...you have a wonderful space! :)

oops...I am sorry #3 is not correct. I will try to find the mural again.

hope it works this time! :)
