David,
It will definitely add to our display space, but more importantly, it breaks up our showroom. On one side of the wall (toward the front door), we'll have our higher-end corporate style awards. These will be the first items that a patron will see when they come in the shop.
On the back side of the wall - almost in another room - we'll have our school-related items, including trophies. It is important to us that these items be visually separated from the more expensive items.
We'll give our contractor the go-ahead to get started today or tomorrow. I'll try to post pictures of the progress along the way.
Lighting is another issue altogether. The drop-style ceiling is already in place with lights. Several lights will have to be moved, as we'll have walls where they are now. These changes may necessitate using different types of light fixtures, such as track lights (I love the effect that track lights have on some types of displays).
I'll be sure to keep a photo journal of our progress, and post the pics here....as long as I can remember how to do that.
Cody
