Yellow Bird Gone
Here's the new paint scheme in the coffee shop: Mustard Yellow and Mediterranean Sun with (eventually) White Pine trim. The wall on the right gets one more coat of paint and the trim is yet to be painted. Quite a difference from the Canary Yellow it was before!
The door in the center leads to an inner room that will double as an art gallery and community meeting room. It has vintage 1970's walnut paneling and, yes, an orangish shag carpet. The paneling has now been coated with Kilz and will be painted White Pine, an off-white tint. There's not much you can do with an orangish carpet except to hide it.
The door on the left is to the toilet — all 3.5 X 3.5 feet of it. The orangish carpet there has got to go and the walls get a new treatment as well.
I had gone to the Sparta Town Hall yesterday to get my business license but did not yet have a Federal EIN. I obtained that with ease from the IRS and returned to City Hall with it today. My application was taken and two hours later the City Manager called to make certain that I wouldn't be serving foods in violation with Health Department regulations. I assured him that I wasn't. Ten minutes later I had the license ($20 a year) in hand and can now legally sell a cup of coffee in Sparta!
Alleghany County does not require a business license.

Wireless internet access would be nice with coffee.......
ReplyDeleteIt's in the works as we speak. Also a community computer kiosk with Internet access if you don't have your laptop with you. That and hardcopies of the three local newspapers.
