Bossy color has a great post up about a recent
restaurant renovation she helped with.
Ava's Pizzeria is a family-friendly restaurant on the eastern shore of Maryland.

Starting from scratch, they were working with a completely blank slate. Her client initially only wanted a colored accent wall, and luckily, Annie was able to convince them to go all out, and add color everywhere, including the ceilings!

Establishing a mood,

defining distinct dining areas,

and really solidifying the character of the restaurant- it turned out really nicely, don't you think?
