The Bookish Shop: In The Making

I am excited to share this the Journey of before to after with out Bookish shop Project. This space was previously a Arcade Bar in the heart of Downtown Gilbert. This was a very industrial feel with the smell of stale beer & urine. I unfortunately saw way too much after been vacated. It needed a total overhaul to create a unique dark & moody European Bookstore with rich wood tones.
