The Bakery. Though it required some upgrades and repairs, the quaint little building had a lot of history and had secretly been Joanna's favorite part of the Silos property. It was a place where she had envisioned setting up shop for yet another bold endeavor: an old fashioned bakery.

Sweet Things Await Within
Joanna decided to retain the ironwork columns at the entrance which, though old, add character and a distinctive accent. Painted black, they tie in visually with the black shutters, exterior sconces, and gooseneck lamps.

The bathroom was updated to tie in visually with the rest of the space. White subway tiles for the walls, patterned floor tiles and natural wood keep the look clean and classic. Custom pressed-tin ceiling tiles were created for the bathroom by a friend in Hillsboro, TX. Old, reclaimed corrugated tin is flattened then pressed with a decorative pattern and painted.

"So not only am I trying to figure out the design and finalize that so we stay on schedule, [but] there's a whole other element — the menu. It's taking some time and some thought and some trial and error... I think I've tasted more cupcakes in the last month than I have in my entire life."

"I think, for me, the inspiration was, I wanted this thing to feel like it had been here all along. I didn't want the renovations to take away from the history of that building. And I feel like, when you walk in, it really feels like this place has been here for 100 years."
