Some minor works for a modest shop. *Repainted floor and wall tiles, and window frames. Roller blinds fixed to transom height for reinstated *character. Three pendants replaced at amended heights. Existing counter re-clad and embellished with a *faux inlay motif. Off the shelf brackets of varying sizes fixed to walls to hold up some utility but mostly decor. In all, hopefully not that overlookable nor a standout, but something that feels present, with character. Irrespective of if it has been sitting there for a while or just more recently.

*On character: Roller blinds instated at transom height previously removed by an earlier renovation.
