Anniversary: the annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event.

This is the perfect description of our showroom’s grand opening. It was an event that took two years of dreaming, planning and hard work before we saw it come to life. Now we are preparing to celebrate our two year anniversary, and can’t help but wonder where did the time go? It seems like just a few months ago we opened our doors and welcomed our first clients inside the showroom. Come walk with us down memory lane as we reminisce about our journey to Uptown Shelby.

Construction

Our construction journey officially began in early March of 2016, once we signed the lease for the Campbell building in Uptown Shelby and the road was filled with many ups and downs and sometimes even complete stops. As soon as we finished the initial planning stage we were ready to move into the next phase – waiting for permits! We can fully understand and appreciate our client’s frustration at having to wait on particular things to come through or arrive since we did our fair share of waiting in multiple areas.  A lot of time and energy went into the design of the showroom, from choosing tiles to whether or not we should stain the wood floor. The easiest decision by far was painting the ceiling tile white instead of black, making the space feel more open and airy. While Walker Woodworking did several custom pieces for the showroom including our amazing kitchen that we use every day, Travis made something extra special, our large front doors. Adding these custom, tall wood-framed doors made the exterior look absolutely perfect. Though it was not always easy, we kept the end goal always in our mind and the end result was worth it all!
