I never thought I would want to work for myself. Until the day I asked for a raise, got a weak promise of "yes, but later," and decided I could do better. That was back in February.
Once the idea was set, I couldn't get rid of it. So I started looking for a retail location. After a few false starts, I found one in Melbourne, FL, that was a great fit.
After weeks of waiting and negotiating (with one of the few landlords who does not financially need tenants!) I signed the lease. As soon as I got the key, my mom and I started tearing the place apart and putting it back together.
The posted photos show the 'before', 'during' and 'almost done' phases. I expect to be open by the 23rd of June. No doubt there are many more surprises along the way before that happens...
