you want progress? i'll give you progress...

so close i can taste it.

with still no official idea when (insert record store name here) records will be open...i can say this. it will be soon.

some crazy rainbow lady captured some of the latest excitement around the shop, but i figured after a day like today, i would add my next installment.

so here goes:


here's me getting the blue going in this crazy jayhawk-inspired color scheme.


one more coat on the back of the half wall and i am done painting (except for the bathroom, which hasn't been touched.) either way, i can honestly say that i don't ever want to paint anything ever again. also note the free couch near the window. nothing is better than a free couch.


here's a good look of the back of the store taking shape. also notice the new facing for the counter and the polka-dot wall behind it.


a better pic of the counter and upholstered (that's right, upholstered) polka-dot wall.


my newly acquired rolling rack. complete with drawers that i don't know what to do with. also the t-shirt rack is in place and ready.


finally, i can start laying out some inventory.

and speaking of inventory...have a gander at the hot-of-the-press (insert record store name here) tees (generation 1.) special thanks to leanne, brooke, art, dan and to a certain extent, james, for all the help with these beauts.

more to come kids. more to come.

The only thing better than a free couch is one that doesn't smell...and maybe one with free loose change in it.

you might need a few bottles of fabreeze before you convince me to sit on that couch... :) I love the paint, shelves, etc, etc... can't wait to see it all done up, all complete and purty.
