at last...some color!

the painting in the front of the store is now finished! we kept our brushes busy in order to coat the walls in paint before we had our concrete re-finished. concrete surface alternatives will be re-finishing our concrete tomorrow-- by sanding down the existing concrete then applying two coats of clear sealant on monday. bye bye mixed matched concrete...hello new pretty shiny concrete......

bringing it to the back...

the mural is now complete-- THANK YOU and well done sage! as sage finished up the mural- matt and i FINALLY finished up the brown coats of paint in the front and back! i don't think either one of us wants to see brown paint for a very long time....

we have also received our carts from global industries- these will be used to sort the donations once they arrive at the store into things that will stay and things that will be trucked over to the family store. we also received some nice donated desks and filing cabinets from a law firm that was moving-- we now have the office stocked! now how about that lounge....

...and keeps going....

day after day as sage continues painting the mural-- we continue taping and painting the walls brown. along side preparing the store- matt has also been busy in the woodshop at the gatewood studio arts building- working with the product design studio that is building the in-store fixtures and fixtures for the back donation center [pictures to follow soon...]
