Thank You!

Thank you for a wonderful three days! It was a delight to serve for a full week, and working behind a crammed space was quite tricky. Nonetheless, enjoyable! Look out for us in the near future! 
Once again- thank you!

Café Completed!

We have completed our café! (Sorry for the bad photo quality) Today we unveiled our window and finished hanging up our artwork! By tomorrow, it will be a full-functioning café with desserts, drinks, and more! The whole thing turned out the way we wanted it too, and we will promise to take more pictures of the art show opening! We look forward to seeing you guys for the next three days! Thank you for following us on our journey while making our ideal installation!

One Day to Go!

We've been working extremely hard on finishing final touches, hanging art work, the chandelier, and getting appliances in order. We've already served some bagels and hot chocolate to our friends and teachers!  Everything looks to be on schedule for opening night Monday! We look forward to serving you! Please swing by to view our artwork!

Cups!

We've been searching for plain white paper cups for sometime now, and who would of thought that we would end up getting them from the school's cafeteria?! They suit our cafe perfectly and will look great with our logo!

Exterior!

We finished the over-hang on the window today. We love the clean look of our stenciled logo! As the details come together, curiousity grows, making the real challenge keeping the final product a surprise! People just keep peeping in! And it is's true! Surprises are better! We've just got shelving to put up and our artwork! 

Café Interior (To Date)

We are really exicted about our progress! The side counter is in place, along with the seating and our main counter. Everything has been freshly painted. Placing the trim around our chalkboard was slightly tricky, since it was slightly warped. Now we just need to start on those finishing touches!

Moving Day!

Monday went almost flawlessly, we were able to (with the help of our parents) put up the walls in just about one hour, and install the window and door. And it's true! We rented a U-Haul to move all of this stuff. It wasn't easy. (Thanks Sam Damakis for helping!)

Ready To Go!

Moving day is tomorrow! Everything thing is set to be loaded into the rental truck first thing in the morning.

Front Counter

We're really happy with the final product of our counter, the stain and the moulding adds a nice touch.

Over-Hang

This black over-hang with the addition of our logo painted across it will add a nice touch to our cafes exterior.

Perfect Cafe Table

We found this table base at a recycled hotel furniture store. We had to cut, sand and stain the top and now it's ready to go!

Walls are coming together


Many thanks to Caitlyn's Uncle and Mom for building us these incredibly professional walls! Now we just have to put them all together!
