Problem:
Business partners Bernie Simmons, Jeff Campagnola & co. wanted to open Walley’s- a high-end martini & cigar bar in downtown Auburn- as soon as humanly possible. Physically, the space covered two different building bays, with different floor heights and front facades.

Solution:
I was brought in during the last few months of the project and helped nail down the color palette: olive, burgundy, yellow & chocolate brown, the furniture selection & arrangement, placement of wall graphics, surface finishes, interior & exterior lighting and exterior awnings. I was amazed with R&M Real Estate’s team, they work tirelessly to enable a late spring opening. Walley’s has since raised the bar- literally and figuratively- for Auburn, and accommodates all ages with their classy, comfortable pub-style atmosphere.
