Odds and Ends Again

retail addition

The owners purchased a two-story building for their numerous businesses that they owned. The wife's consignment shop took off and they were bursting at the seams to have more retail space. Phase one of the project was to an addition on the front to create a better retail space with larger windows and open display area. They wanted to keep it more inviting than the typical new retail spaces across the street, while still matching with the building. It was decided to use some wood to create an inviting entrance. The new retail space was immediately filled, and staff enjoys a larger work area to label merchandise while being available to the people shopping.
