INSTORE EDITORS’ PICK for Welling & Company Jewelers received Interior Design Award. Leslie McGwire & Associates: Interior Design Company designed Welling & Co. Jewelers from “Concept to Completion.”

In the INSTORE July 2018 issue the editor, Elileen McClelland wrote: “Welling & Company Jewelers in West Chester, OH owned by Bill & Daniel Welling, has created a welcoming, relaxed setting inspired by the ambience of a coffee shop. Interior Designer, Leslie McGwire, ASID Allied transformed the 1940s airplane hanger into a modern, comfortable space by retaining original interior bricks to set the tone and using “live edge” recycling walnut wood tables for display. A deep burgundy accent color adds pizazz to the neutral palette.” Page 70

"I knew I wanted this store to stand out. I wanted a grand presence while keeping it welcoming,” Shane Woodruff of Crocker's Jewelers says.

What did the famous guru of "retail," Paco Underhill state about Leslie McGwire & Associates Interior Design Company regarding Crocker Fine Jewelry. He stated: "I like the ceilings. Presentation is often about impressive spaces (read: high ceiling) but creating intimacy (read: lower ceiling) helps foster the sale."

"I knew I wanted this store to stand out. I wanted a grand presence while keeping it welcoming,” Woodruff says.
Although Woodruff spent several years dreaming up and sketching the initial plan himself, he gives interior designer Leslie McGwire credit for achieving that balance in both the exterior and interior design of the 8,000-square-foot Crocker’s Fine Jewelry store he opened last year.

“We wanted to mix it up a little, mood-wise,” says McGwire, who softened the impact of the dramatic, elegant space with silk draperies, distressed flooring, chocolate brown cases and a fireplace lounge area, where shoppers can kick back, put their feet up and watch TV.

As for the drama, the entryway is accented with two 3-foot-tall gas lanterns scaling the sides of large custom built wrought-iron doors, which feature the Crocker’s logo in the center. The wrought iron details are carried throughout the store in chandeliers and sconces.

Drawing on her experience as a spa designer, McGwire brought in touches of glamour, designing 15-foot-tall glass mosaics for each side of the entryway, using colors that established the palette for the entire store. Gold in the chandeliers and subtle specks of diamonds in wall coverings add to the luxurious effect. The two-tiered, two-tone ceilings mirror the shape of the case layout and provide the perfect height for lighting the cases below.
“Everything in the store has a specific purpose and flows wonderfully,” says Woodruff.
