Here is the computer rendering of our new bakery/gelato shop, although I think I'm leaning toward a pale blue. What do you all think ?

gti designs is doing all of the design work. then we order all of the cases and shelving as modular units from italy. They use the same type of software they used to put the Coliseum in Gladiator. It's like photoshop on steroids.

We are hoping to be open in early October. I jut ordered my espresso machine custom painted in Carolina Blue...pretty eh? ( I feel like such a dork icon_razz.gif being so excited about a coffee machine)

Carolina blue, huh? Does that mean you might be in my area? North Carolina at least?
