I've mentioned before that part of our brief to the designers was to make sure we maintained a relaxed, friendly vibe in the store but also to make it look cool & interesting. We really liked the dark grey idea for the walls & ended up going with a bit of an ebony & ivory feel between the 2 sides of the shop with the bottom (old) half of the shop taking on a darker, more moody rock feeling for the ebony side & the new top section being the fresher "ivory" feel. And to make sure it wasn't like a cave when you walk in with all the charcoal colour, Clare suggested we liven it up a bit with this brightly striped wallapper on the entry wall (where the old counter used to be). I loved it as soon as I saw it & even though it had to imported from Scandanavia (?!) we ordered it in & waited patiently till it could go up... which it did yesterday. And WOW, what an effect! It's a bit hard to look at on the screen but it's kinda retro & VERY & cool. Just what we wanted.
