Artists in Residence and a whole lotta painting going on!

Karen and Jim joined in the painting this weekend. Karen had already been priming with me during the week- thanks guys!




Benji trying to get to Jim to check out the paint job in the bathroom.

Myles, in his job as mini-foreman, checking out mine and Karen's work.


Alison and my good neighbor, Sandie, checking out the colors and deciding where each will go. Teagan put her two cents in as well!

It's been a busy week! We started with our resident artists picking out our colors and deciding how it would all play out at the store. Bob had to grin and bear it- no- we weren't going to paint all the walls some shade of white! Our colors are amber, eggplant, a brick-like red, green and yellow. And so far the store looks great. After we are done with the walls, Ali and Sandie will move in and do their murals- should be sometime next week. Meantime we have had people stopping in, wishing us luck and wondering when we will be opening. At one point we had a line of cars facing the store and people sitting in them watching us paint. Guess it was a slow day for some... Our website is now up and running- http://www.naturesgrocervernon.com/ -check it out! I will post some more pics later of the finished walls.
