A Mint Chocolate Coffee House

When you get lemons you are supposed to make lemonade, right?  Well when you get a room painted in bright eye assaulting minty green you make a mint chocolate chip room.  At least that is what we are doing in our current church building.  Yes, we are trying to sell it, but a new building is still at least a year to 2 years out, so we are doing what we can to live well where we are while we are there. 
The church had an old library with the most current books being circa 1960, and everything had a few inches of dust.  The room is situated on the corner as you start to the Sunday School classes so Cynthia, Donna, Robin and I are turning into a coffee and donut greeting area for everyone.  Due to a miscommunication the room was painted a funky green color and from there we go.
Here are a couple of pics from last night.

Here is the bookcase Donna and I painted chocolatey.  The paint looked like chocolate cake batter when you stirred it us.  So yummy.  The green looks so much more muted and sagey in this picture, but in reality is it more like this:

Cynthia is doing a faux stone wall in part of the room.  It is going to be beautiful! 

She and Donna were none to pleased that I took pictures of them, and they said they wanted royalties...I'll give them 10% of what I make off this blog.  Boy they are going to get real rich!

Here is Donna.  I halfway helped with this window, but it was a beast.  You have to understand that our building is OLD, and nothing is exactly smooth or even and every surface has 18 layers of paint.  This window frame also has the most wonky chaulking ever, so painting it is disgusting and no matter how hard you try it looks buggery.  We had fun though :)

Cynthia is going to shoot me for putting this up because she will say it's a picture of her butt :P  It's not.  Those pipes she is holding onto are HOT!  and she hit her head on them and said special words :)  Bad pipes!  Very bad pipes!

Missing of course is Robin and the bar he hasn't built for us yet :P

He did replace a toilet seat and mess with door locks while we were painting, so I suppose he is off the hook for a second or two, but he better get us some boards cut for our faux window or we may have severe punishment in mind....
