Just got the quote for the wet bar install plus backsplashes for the wet bar and kitchen. $2640, which is close to what I had anticipated at $2500. They estimate another $1200 for the fireplace, though I had some questions because the way they worded that quote was a bit confusing. If it costs that much to do the fireplace, we will probably skip that for now. I just can't justify it, even though I would love to get that done too.
will it be a gas fireplace? if so i HIGHLY recommend that if it doesn't come standard with the one you are getting-upgrade to install a temp controlled blower. we did one on ours a few years ago and it's amazing how much heat what is largely meant to be an ornamental fireplace can put out. ours can easily heat 3 adjacent rooms (open concept living/kitchen/family rooms) and it saves us tremendously on utility bills in the colder months.
