Wife thinking of opening new restaurant/bar...need photoshop help

Wife is thinking about opening a rest/bar next door to existing place. She wants to see what she could do relatively inexpensively to change the facade/identity of the place that has become available. As you can see it was an italian fast food place.

Attached is a poor pic. What she wants to try is painting all the red/maroon and green trim to black. Also the awnings to be either black or black and white (i.e., replace the gren/red stripes with black). The steeple on top would remain red. The awning over the doors to be black. The circular/oval sign to be black with the name "ebeneezer's" in white lettering, all lower case.

I'd really appreciate if someone could do a quick photoshop...

Photshop is something I need to learn myself.

Thanks in advance.

WOW...how cool are you, Ian. Thanks a million.


Uhhhhh...could I ask one more little favor? Could you make the circular sign up top on the tower black with the biggest white lower case "e" you can fit in it?l

My wife will love you. Plus, she has taken to using your term "room monkey" already?

No problem. Just tell her she owes me a glass of wine when I come to town. As for the RM phrase . . . if it suits the situation . . .

You will have to choose the font carefully on that 'e' to make it look right.

Thanks so much, Ian. Perfect. Just what she wanted to see. The sister restaurant is called "Scrooge's" so you get the theme. She's interested in having a brew pub type of place versus a full dinner/service type of place. The buildings share a private alley they want to make a common area for both places for outdoor dining and a place to hide from the smoking nazi's.

Glass of wine, my arse. If you're ever down here (yeah, that'll be the day) dinner and bar tab will be comped for your entire crew.

Thanks again.

Crew? When I am on the road, I travel solo. MS is officially my territory but I have only been to Hattiesburg once & never to Jackson. Usually it's just a drive along 10 between NO & Mobile but since Katrina, not even that. But my dealer in Metairie is coming alive & he invited me for some oysters at Drago's & that's hard to resist, so I smell a trip in the making. Where in MS are you?

No brewpub is complete without a pool table or three...

Keep the menu simple, the drinks cheap and make sure you hire a good attorney to help with the lease, better yet "steal" the property and become your own landlord.
Do the people within a 2 mile radius have jobs?

Isn't it conflict of interest for a DUI attorney to own a bar?

Its in an area with 25-40 y.o. professionals/TFB's are in abundance within a 5-9 mile mile radius. There is another bar that has a similar MO that is overrun with customers inythat age range. She's looking to tap into their overflow.
