Today is Grandma's Birthday
Yeah so, quiet lately, but busy. Couple more pics of the store: First one is an overview with all the lights in place waiting for the mirrors and merchandise racks to be hung.
I was painting the register counter and main tables today, tomorrow more painting to finish the black touch-up on the shelves, then the red. All the inventory is loaded into the database, just waiting for the shoes to actually get here, then I can open. The clothes are pre-hung on the second floor, gee-gaws are waiting for dry and clean shelves.
The projector and screen go in tomorrow, and as far as construction goes after that, all that's left is the coffee bar (and espresso machine, of course). I can open without that though if the shoes get here first.
Here's a partial shot of the front window logo. The ladder was up to run wires and hang speakers. The neon guy will be in early this week to add a blue tube beneath the store name on the main sign and adjust the red tubes below so they light the 'catchphrase' better. It's really cool looking but I'll wait to post a picture until it's finished.
It's been a little over a year and a half since Grandma passed, and my little project wouldn't be possible without her. Grandma always said she'd be my bookeeper if I ever got a running business off the ground, and Gramps would be in heaven hanging out at the coffee bar talking up all the women. Miss you mucho Grams, and thanks for everything. And nudge Gramps for me, will ya?
