Thanks so much everyone! It's really very exciting. So I took all my measurements yesterday, because I really want hardwood floors (the same floors they use in aerobics studios, casue they are squishy). Well my celings are 7 feet 6 inches. The aerobics floors can take up to 2 inches plus off of your height and my true fridges are 6 feet 11 inches!! LOL So I am not so sure the hardwood is going to happen but if it does, wow is it going to be close! I can't wait until it's open so I can post pics. Looks like moving begins on Sept 10th! Wow is it really July 6th already??!! icon_surprised.gif

Congrats on your amazing news! What a lucky dinner out that was!
I envy you! We should all be so blessed to have such a supportive husband! icon_smile.gif

I have a question...unless I missed the answer when I was reading thru...

With all the built-in clients and contacts to keep doing business with the shop after it changes hands, did you gain a staff or even an assistant to help you?

Isn't that the greatest story? When I was reading this, I'm with brians - I was crying a bit too from excitement! I would have been dying at the table at the restaurant - overhearing they were selling, I bet it was the longest few minutes ever! What a great story, and just such a neat opportunity! Sounds like the woman you bought it from has put a lot of love, time and effort in to it - so neat what she said to you! icon_razz.gif What an incredible opportunity, just so neat!

I think your colors/theme sounds really neat. You could do some really neat black tables and a black counter area. If you are going to have a case, you could probably find something European styled....so many ways you could go here. Definitely post pictures - it will be great to see this fabulous new place of yours!
