The Counter! Part 2

We added our counter and the panels! This will be painted white and trims will be added too!

The Start of Our Counters!

Today, was a busy day! We started cutting wood for our counter and decided that we might as well put it together. This is the side counter.

This is what you will see once you walk through the doors.
    We have yet to start the actual building of our walls. We realized how much work is to be done in such little time (2 weeks)! It has been a challenging experience so far, but we believe that it will pay off in the end. Tomorrow, we are going to complete the counters with panelling and we are building shelves in the counter! For the countertops, we are going to find a butcher's block. We will post more pictures soon- hopefully when the weather gets better.

The Plans

We drew up these plans of the front, layout and support beams to get a better idea of how the cafe will come together.

Aged Chairs


We love these aged chairs, at $5 dollars each. We can begin to see our desired look coming together!


Neglected Chandelier

With a coat of white paint and some tall candles, this chandelier will be a nice addition to the cafe.

Front Door

You can't beat free! We picked up this door on the side of the road. With a fresh coat of paint and a  knob, it will work nicely as our front door.

Distressed Wood





We found this great plank of wood for only $2! It had potential, but needed some touching up. We took some time to distress the wood and are quite pleased with the outcome! Perfect for our window counter!
