We were out enjoying the unusualy warm Seattle weather this weekend when I spotted a Starbucks undergoing a remodel. Normally this wouldn’t seem all that special but this is the second Starbucks to get the rustic makeover treatment. As such, they’re pulling out all the stops right down to the detail going into the plywood covering up the construction. It’s actually two layers of wood with the top layer painted then routed out. The result is type and illustration with a wonderful dimensionality. The store won’t be open till July, luckily there are literally three other Starbucks within 150 yards of this one to serve you until then. (You don’t know Starbucks density until you live in Seattle, trust me.)
More pics after the break!
