Aloha! Happy belated President's day! In the process of opening the store all the background stuff has been going on even before we get the key. Big things, insurance (all kinds, for any potentiality), the dba with state of Hawaii from The Country Store to dba Red Bamboo Collection. I secured the domain name www.redbamboocollection.com so its floating around the cosmos without any substance yet, but I'll let you know as that comes online.
We have found and purchased all of the store furniture and fixtures that will help ground the store with the feel that we want. I guess the best way to define our style would be Hawaiian/Asian plantation style. We are going for a relaxed warm feel, with rugs and simple clean furnishings. Some of the furniture is being made by me and other pieces reconditioned and some beautiful koa furnishings as well. I'll post some picks for you soon. I'll leave the colors as a surprise but it'll be warm and clean.
Today Lisa and I are going to the meet and greet/tour at Living Foods Market and Cafe at Kukui'ula Village today at 4 p.m. Very excited and should be fun getting to meet all the wonderful people that will become our partners in this great adventure. See some of you there! Oh and feel free to post, ask questions or give advice.
