In 2019 my business partner and I decided to open our second retail concept in located in Salem, Massachusetts...  Merry and Bright, An Enchanted Holiday Shop.  The project scope included taking the space down to the studs and rebuilding it into our new venture.  Chris Le Vasseur handles the day-to-day business of our partnership and I handle the interior design and visual merchandising for the shops.  We have had a lot of repeat customers tell us Merry and Bright is their new "happy place", to visit because experiencing the spaces puts them in an automatic good mood.  I think that may be one of the nicest compliments, when designing a holiday themed project.
