Shiplap wall treatments, stone columns and custom trim elements were installed to bring warmth, detail, and craftsmanship into the retail environment. These updates help define display zones, create visual interest, and support seasonal merchandising flexibility.


Reclaimed barn wood siding was incorporated to provide a bit of contrast. The material adds authenticity and depth, complementing the store’s emphasis on quality furniture and home décor.
