We Did It!!!

Opening night has come and gone... and last night I actually got over 6 hours of sleep! There was work going on up until the doors were opening, and it was all worth it to see the finished (well, almost) product. We had a full house (not too crazy like we thought it could be), and things went very smoothly. Mike Comfort was a great fit for our "Open House", lots of energy (and new faces)... as well as hearing one of his band members (from Sac) say, "this place feels like it could be in California." Our design goal certainly wasn't "California Cool...", but a "Rural Sophistication" that brings a certain level of atmosphere not normally seen in the rural midwest. We want Shaky Tree Coffee to be an oasis for anyone (rural farmer to urban traveler) looking for something of authentic quality to add to their day. Last night we took a giant step towards making that a reality... and had a lot of fun doing it!!! A big thank you to everyone who made it possible, both with physical help... or supportive energy!!!

I got a few more pics up (use the link to the right)... but not many of the actual event (to busy making coffee ;-)

Looks great, the open house looks like it was quite a success! We're sending good thoughts your way for official opening day on Monday. Your ideas are all coming together in a very cool manner, keep it up, Treebed Design!
