I have gotten off track and forgotten to do my Blogging. So many things going on. Our large Venini Chandelier swung for 15 minutes after being shaken up by the Va. Earth Quake. We even made the local paper. After Hurricane Irene, while everyone was cleaning up Lewis decided that our windows needed a serious upgrading so that we could show case our furniture and accessories properly.
He pulled everything out of our large display window and started demolition. He pulled down not one but three false ceilings. Having to haul all the stuff pulled down in a wheel barrow through the shop and out the back to our dumpster. It has taken two plus weeks of work, but the results are going to be awesome! We have use a cement board to cover the walls and floor. In the process we discovered that the window( large Plate Glass) need serious reinforcing. It was a very good thing that we decided to upgrade.
The smaller window is now under construction. We had a tangled mess of wiring to navigate through....it was also fortunate that we redid this window as well. The new look is a New York Loft Look. Plain which will bring attention to the lines of our Deco Period Designer Furniture.
We are leaving pipes and cider block walls exposed. Some of the folks in our area just shake their heads. They really aren't sure what we are all about. There was an article written about Kilmarnock VA being Manhattan in Mayberry. Little did they know how true that would become. Because of the internet and our relationship with 1stdibs, we are able to compete in business of the world even in a small town
