This is what we started with

Everyone thought that I had lost my mind...for a second I thought I had too!
I have ALWAYS loved this building! It's one of the oldest ones in our town and referred to quite often as the Alamo because of the shape on the front of the building. In fact when I was looking for space to start my store I had called about this one, but it was not available. After being in business 2+ years the opportunity finally came knocking to make the move to "Main Street" and I just couldn't refuse. I also couldn't refuse the chance to make this building what I knew it could be...again. All it needed was LOT'S of LOVE, well that and LOT'S of PAINT, a SANDER to get through 5 layers, YES 5 layers of badly painted floors, (hunter green, yuck, burgundy, double yuck, black, beige, and I believe someone tried to get "creative" with a rug design in some other awful color),
a CEILING, and the list goes on and on!
It's still a work in progress but every old house is.
