Working On The Storefront

We've now moved down into the store front, and have begun working on renovating it.

Up first is painting.

One of the great features of the store is that all of the windows are brand new. The whole space is very bright and open. However, the dark trim and dark ceilings have really dulled it down. So, we've started painting all of the trim and sills and doors and ceilings white.

It makes such a difference.

You can see the newly renovated entrance. It's waiting a fresh coat of white paint.

Looking towards the back of the store. Can you see how much of a difference a crisp, white ceiling will make?

Even Molly came along to help Aunt Jeanette paint windows.

Ryan in the stairwell going up to the apartment patching... everything.

Interesting fact about the store:

There is a lot of damage on the ceilings and on the walls in the store because there was actually a zombie movie filmed here called Dead Before Dawn. Christopher Lloyd was part of the cast!

Local paper, Welland Tribune described it as a "fast paced adventure comedy that follows a bunch of college kids as they accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, aka Zemons." 

I'll take their word for it.
