It has been 6 years since the last time we gave our original Berkley location a makeover<\/a> and we decided it was time to mix it up again.\u00a0\u00a0 Inspired by our latest location<\/a> we’re turning our current sherbet color theme into a more punchy palette.\u00a0 Also we are saying goodbye to a lot of our traditional shelving and adding more industrial spool table tops.<\/p>\n

First the un-fun part… tearing apart the store after the store closes on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\"catching<\/a><\/p>\n

For some reason when we first moved in that space over 12 years ago we decided to put down 4×8 pressed wood boards to cover the commercial carpeting.\u00a0 I still can’t recall why we made this choice but it does mean we need to paint the boards from time to time.\u00a0 This marks our fourth coat and means everything in the front of the store has to be stored in the back while we paint away.<\/p>\n

\"catching<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, this paint job was WAY overdue and it was also time to say goodbye to our floor fireflies.\u00a0 This marks the end of our first night… or shall I say morning (a lovely 1am first coat finish)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"catching<\/a><\/p>\n

Day 1 included taking down all our wall art, patching hundreds of nail holes and painting, painting, painting.\u00a0 Ready for a red wall behind our check-out?<\/p>\n

\"catching<\/a><\/p>\n

Day 2 included a big delivery of industrial spools and other display pieces plus more painting of walls, furniture and more.\u00a0 In the evening we started to position some of our displays so we can start transitioning all the product from the back of the store to the front so we can repeat this process to the back half of the shop!<\/p>\n

Now it’s time for me to close this computer and head back to work!\u00a0 Stay tuned…<\/p>\n
