I promised a Cinema Cafe update...


..but I never said it would be pretty!

The cafe renovation I'm working on is going "slower than molasses running uphill in January"(Mom quote). Things are shaping up a little bit but everything takes three times longer than expected and I'm getting sick of waiting for plumbing, electric and carpentry stuff. I want to decorate!

Still, I'm happy to report that I've picked out a good amount of art for the cafe walls. I'm hoping to get film-themed prints from Elloh, lakeillustration and almostfamous. I also had a nice time this afternoon taste testing fancy chocolates and granola mixes we hope to sell. I gave myself a stomach ache from working so hard!

I hope to be able to have a grand opening in a month but we'll see.

Love it but I thought you were keeping the chalkboard? That's what mom said anyway. (Kayla was here)

Thanks! I'm glad you approve of the color. Kayla, there will be a small chalkboard put in (don't you worry!)
