Clayton, Missouri | Completed 2007

We had a ton of fun working on this fun boutique that sells all things related to olives! The main feature of the store is the central tasting bar where customers can sample gourmet olive oils from around the world. We were completely unaware that this world existed but were thrilled to taste and discover such wonderful options in olive oil. Our client retired from her medical practice to pursue this venture, and we feel privileged to help her follow her dream. We hope you make a point to visit her Tuscan-themed store the next time you are in Clayton!
