If you have been on Big Bend between Clayton Road and 64/40 you surely have noticed some changes happening. Soon you can expect to see a brand new home for The Ultimate Bride!
Progress is going smoothly transforming an old hardware store into an upscale bridal boutique. The building had been sitting empty for several years and was quickly turning into an eyesore for the community.
The exterior has undergone a major overhaul with a new façade to give the building more street appeal.
Progress on the interior is coming along nicely as well. The walls are up and it is really taking shape. The owner wanted a high class space on a cost-conscious budget. We were careful in the selection of materials selecting specific areas to add a punch to maximize the impact. The focus in the space will be the dresses on display and the finishes were selected to highlight those as much as possible.

The in the front we demolished an old roof that was awkwardly attached. After the roof was gone we raised the parapet and added a brick and stone veneer. While we completely transformed the street façade we were able to maintain the original side and rear elevations. Some of the salvaged elements included some clerestory windows that have been reglazed and will be incorporated into some custom displays. We also added a raised patio to help provide a buffer from the street traffic on Big Bend as well as adding some great outdoor space for the building. This area will be highlighted with attractive fencing and landscaping.
