Saloon Renovations

5/21/2014

 
We made some major changes to the Saloon over our spring break! This was our first renovation project since buying the Ranch last summer.  Since we took over the property, most of our time has been spent trying to clean up the property and get it back to full operation, so we're so excited to actually start making our stamp on the place, really making our vision come to life.

What we did & how we did it... 

Picture
We started by clearing everything out, ripping out the old bar (it's for sale, if you're interested) and creating a blank slate...
Picture
Then came the bar... we build a completely new bar out of reclaimed pallet wood (thanks, Pinterest!). The new bar layout more than doubles the seating area at the bar (and moves the tv so you can actually see it).
Picture
Then we painted EVERYTHING (even the ceiling, which took FOREVER!). It really brightened the place up - everyone keeps asking if we put in windows :-)
We also replaced all the lights, making our own lights out of mason jars (thanks again, Pinterest :-)) and added some more twinkle lights to give a bit more light.  

The new layout also helped us create a check-in area for all our new activities, as well as an area to display all our awesome t-shirts, pint glasses and the rest of our retail merchandise (if you haven't see all our cool stuff, check out our online store)
We're so happy with the way the remodel has turned out! It's a fresh look that makes the Saloon more comfortable for everyone and it's our first step towards our vision for the new Elk River Guest Ranch!  Stop by and see us! Starting in June, we'll be open from 9:30am every day! 

We're also still looking for decorations for the new bar, so if you have any old bike parts, fishing rods, snowshoes or cross-country skis that aren't usable anymore and you'd like to get rid of, let us know!
