Carla Hendrix, salesperson at West Seattle Nursery is happy about the new look. "It's so much better for customers to be able to walk through now," she said.
West Seattle Nursery has been a mecca for gardeners and people who love plants for well over 20 years now. The building was originally home to a Herfy's Hamburger's and briefly an auto parts store but the Nursery has been the one to really take root and grow.
The business recently recognized that having the checkstand in the middle of the store needed some re-thinking and chose to remodel to gain more counter space and provide better flow through for customers.
The design was created with the use of recycled materials in mind. Instead of buying new cabinets they simply moved the old ones, and the front of the new counter was built from recycled wood, cut on the ends while the counter itself consists of recycled pallets.
Brian Beck is a local West Seattle artist who designed and built the remodel, assembling all the parts elsewhere. He then moved it all and constructed it on site in one evening.
