eDesign: A New Look For Birchgrove Baking
There’s only one word I can use to describe my recent eDesign project: Sweet!
Located in Montpelier, Vermont, Birchgrove Baking specializes in custom cakes, pastries and coffee.
I first heard from Jenn a couple of months ago. As the owners of Birchgrove Baking, she and her husband were trying to decide on a new color scheme. At that time, the bakery had blue walls, black display cases {left behind from the previous owners} and red accent chairs — all great colors but Jenn was ready for a change. She wanted friendly hues that would give the bakery a fresh look and appeal to her loyal customers.
After reviewing a few different color palettes that I recommended for the bakery, Jenn ultimately decided on the combination of yellow and gray. She also threw in a couple of warm blues for accent colors.
The new colors are cheerful, welcoming, and everyone loves the new look. Jenn says the bakery, which measures just 19′ x 23′, even looks larger. In a stark contrast from the previous wall color, customers are now greeted with sunny yellow walls. Jenn also removed some of the display cases, and the remaining pieces received a coat of gray paint. She stenciled the backs of a few shelves, and others were covered with Woods Wallpaper from Anthropologie, which was also used on the bakery’s accent walls.
This re-design was all about color branding and paying attention to the details: Accent chairs and the Barista bar were also given new hues.
Didn’t Jenn do a wonderful job? Birchgrove Baking was already a hot spot with the locals before this transformation, but I have a feeling it will be even more popular now. After all, color changes everything.
If you’re ever in Vermont or you live in or near Montpelier, be sure to stop by the bakery for coffee and a sweet treat…and tell ‘em Kelly@Color Sizzle sent you!
