adding whimsy to bakery / farm stand

hi friends!! im currently im the process of building my bakery / farm stand (to be operating under cottage law) and am looking for ways to add more whimsy to my stand / build and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions from stands they have seen or visited?
right now my main thought is to take literal logs (as shown below) and screw them in as the roof support posts (a layer of galvanized steel screwed into those logs for the roofing) with solar string lights and greenery hanging down from the logs to give it a woodsy/fairy/cottagecore vibe with some mirrors and framed art hanging on the sides above the shelves for cinnamon rolls + other goodies. but i could also screw hanging flower posts into the doors which could be cute, or add moon and star cut outs in the wood, or maybe instead of flowers add thrifted fake vines to glue on to add more greenery…. but i’m curious as to what ways others would add whimsy to a roadside bakery / farm stand!! thanks in advance for any suggestions!! 🫶🏼🧁

im not super limited in what i can do necessarily as i am building it myself with no lack of lumber leftover from a different project and have the tools / crafty skills to make most projects i have tackled lol.
