mmmmmm, Off-Gassing

Yes, now that we have cleansed and recovered all of the floor, ceiling, and walls, the grease is gone! Now LaVoy smells of all our chemical resurfacing applications, or in the world of chemistry: Off-Gassing – better than grease, but not as good as bread! This week our shell is finished and it’s time for wares small and large! Beautiful, non?

Subway tiled wall behind future oven. Looks stunning. Thank you Tom Feldman, and your tile cutter. Thank you Cole for “getting your hands dirty”. Thank you Parisian Metro for the inspiration.

sorry it has been awhile, times getting busy, daily blogs are now turning to weekly blogs; quality is still more important than quantity when it comes to blogging, right? last weekend we worked on the aesthetics of the exterior; check out our tape job compared to the guys across the street. we are so pro.

This is the start of adding new things to the building and not just removing the old – we’re cresting the hill! Say goodbye to “Donuts & Espresso”!

Mostly prepping the building for paint, so not a lot to see today. But checkout this bleu boule: our new delivery van.

Glue is Our Friend

Today we are getting to work in a less greasy facility. These photos are @ the Rio Wood shop. Owner Matt Alverado is a dear friend of ours; his work can already be admired all around the Sparrow. In this job he will be building the table tops, custom bars (thanks lovejoy), face lift of exterior, and anything that needs the swift hand of a craftsman. His work is beautiful!

and here’s Matt’s beautiful daughter Julia(you might have heard us mention “Julia’s Table”)this is her. Ain’t she cute.

So Here’s The History

This space has been around since the early 1950′s, first starting out as an ice cream shop built for the daughter of a bend area grocer. Then the grease came in a few years later when it was transfored into a burger hut; 15 years after that came Sweetheart Donuts – frying up donuts for a whopping 25 years! Long story short, we are having to completely gut the shop and re-cover every surface – bye bye donut fry grease.

The Lease Is Signed

I know you all must think we’re loco en la cabasas but look at this fine specimen of a late vintage art deco burger shack: “streamline moderne”.
