What a remarkable transformation! This space, formerly an unoccupied jewelry shop in Bristol Arcade, has been wonderfully reimagined by an innovative individual into a distinctive and stylish little bookstore.
Shannon has dedicated an immense amount of effort to bring this dream to fruition.

I had the distinct pleasure of providing and installing the vinyl flooring. The customer expressed a desire for a beautiful wood-look laminate design.
During the initial measurement, I quickly realized the area exceeded four meters in width. My preference was for the planks to run along the length, and the prospect of a seam was not ideal. This would have necessitated ordering an additional 6x4 piece for a seam less than a meter long, primarily to ensure consistent color matching, which would have resulted in a significant amount of waste.
After careful consideration, it occurred to me that a few flooring manufacturers offer five-meter-wide vinyl. Opportunities to install or sell five-meter-wide vinyl are infrequent, which means my sample selection is somewhat limited. However, I promptly consulted my supplier's application and discovered a suitable range. Photographs were then sent to the customer, and a decision was made within minutes.
I am truly delighted with the outcome and grateful for the opportunity to assist a new local business. It appears the opening day was a resounding success.
