I bet you all thought I had forgotten about my blog…well, I didn’t, I just seriously overestimated my ability to “do” and blog about it at the same time:-) Actually, quite a lot has happened since my last submission (nearly two months ago). I’m thrilled with the way that the storefront is coming along! The floors look amazing. We went with stained/sealed concrete. Anyone looking for a sustainable flooring option should consider it. I used a company called Concrete Rules, here in Orlando. The walls are painted (OMG…what a mountainous task:-/ I’m not ready to give away the decoration scheme just yet, but I will say that anyone who has ever been to my home, knows that I am NOT afraid of a paintbrush and BOLD colors;-)
After I finish writing this, I am headed over to the store to put my office together. Ikea is the best. Easiest assembly EVER!! In the coming weeks, I will be finishing up the interior (display cases, coffee equipment, counters, seating etc) and finalizing the menu. Our specialty at Cocoa Latte is most certainly the chocolate. With out a doubt, we have that angle COVERED!! On the other hand, other than being “enthusiastic coffee drinkers” for many years, baristas we are not…yet… So, I encourage you all to leave comments with your favorite coffee items…nothing crazy people…no ” venti, soy, half-caff moccachino with foam not whip, double cup, no lid”…
Bye for now, hopefully, next time I blog, it will be from my new office! Have a great week everyone!!
