Kitchen Renovations.

We added a non bearing wall in the kitchen to separate it from the dining area. We'll be able to use the existing plumbing and wiring which saves us a ton of money. The previously installed gas line is also adequate for the equipment we plan to use. 





















We also pulled up the flooring. The previous occupants had used a cement/epoxy mixture applied directly to the sub floor which led to cracking and leaking. We'll lay down backer board before tiling.

Winston Mason Design

The concept for Black Sheep is actually three businesses in one, Cafe, Gallery & Gift. The gift shop will house Winston Mason Studio and visitors will be able to observe master silversmith Winston Mason, Sr as he fabricates beautiful silver and stone jewelry. 






Renovations.


Renovations are under way. With the help of friends, we've begun to repair and reupholster 40 chairs that I picked up for a great price. 











We've removed all the sheet metal that had been glued to the walls. A little mud and some sanding should get them ready for paint. 












One of the more ambitious projects will be stripping all the years of paint from the beautiful wood trim.
