A "Blank" State

I've found a space for the Brewery. It's not perfect, but it's free, and free is always a good price. And by "free," I mean the building is owned by my parents and I've been given authority to take over the basement. Unfortunately, the building was built in 1936 and used to be the town's post office (hence the name of the brewery). The good news is that there's plenty of space available, the bad news is that the space is in pretty rough condition, having not been used in nearly 15 years. I take that back - it has been used as storage of various items such as old boxes, old electronics, old files, and old "crap" (I use this term both figuratively and literally - to be explained later) for the past 15 years. Some pictures of the current condition (I've removed all the aforementioned items already):
This is the back of the main room, with the bathroom/kitchen door on the right side and a closet on the left side.
Closet door on the right, camera angle slightly shifted to the left.
And... front wall.  You can tell I've started tearing down an old sheetrock wall, and exposing the stairwell behind.  The doorway to the right continues into a hallway and out the main entrance.











As you can tell from the pictures, this space will need a significant amount of work, including continued demolition, cleaning (flooding years ago ruined the sheetrock wall and colored the concrete floor the the color of red clay), and painting and polishing.  The walls will not remain pink - I'm thinking cornflower blue now, but welcome suggestions.
