before.

where the green metal awnings are i'll add my own deep chocolate brown awnings over them.

the space jutting out to the right of this photo is part of the restaurant next to me.

an outside view of the doorway and some planters outside, love all of the brickwork.

this is a long hallway i'll close off and use for storage, there is a bathroom at the very end and then at the end to the right is another door which leads into the restaurant kitchen of the fabulous restaurant beside me.




these are my only two windows, or one window and the doors, but i love how large they are.


hey friends, here are the before shots i promised of my new chocolate shop location! it's a beautiful "nantucket style" development here on cape cod and the spaces are filling fast. i'm grateful to have grabbed a beautiful and small space which we be easy to manage and transform. i will be getting started this weekend ripping out the corporate style carpet and the awful drop ceiling. i have tons of ideas, my head hurts at this point, and cannot wait to begin. i hope to open the second or so week in november so i better get busy. i am located next to one of the capes finest restaurants with a renowned chef and am excited to have some of her customers popping into my shop. the name of my shop is sepia, and for those who may not realize, it means a dark, brown, warm and syrupy color. we thought that the name was easy to remember and summed up all that is chocolate. so i'll keep posting some "in progress" shots as well here and there and then of course a final shot. any comments or suggestions will be received with excitement! have a relaxing weekend everyone and enjoy the beautiful fall days...
