Visiting grandparents' new business

You and mommy visited your Toronto grandparents' new business today. I've been wanting to visit them for a while now, but it's hard with a baby in tow. Plus, the weather's been really crappy lately.

Their new sandwich/coffee shop is close to downtown so it took us a while to get down from where we live. I wanted to check out their place before they start renovations on Saturday.

Their new business is in dire need of renovations. They plan on putting laminate floors, painting
the walls, painting the ceilings, changing the chairs, changing the tabletops and putting new
shelving up.

I took out the tacky sticker on the glass.

They have a lot of tacky posters and stuff hung on the walls. Not needed, in my opinion.

The coffee area.

The walls were a gross green and yellow. They plan on painting it a medium gray colour. Nice!

I'm thinking this wall area would be nice to hang some pretty frames.

I absolutely hate glass cubes. They are so 1980s. They aren't removing this though. It would
be a huge cost to remove/redo.

Aren't the chairs and tables hideous??

We plan on putting shelving along this wall. Your grandma wants me to help her choose accessories
for the shelves. I'm planning on going shopping with her on Saturday so we can pick out some
stuff together.

Here's another look.
Even though the store was hideous, my parents did a good job buying this place because they will turn it around. They already improved the menu and the customers are already appreciating all the changes that have been made to the food. I think the customers will also be floored once they see the place after it is renovated.
