Last week I visited Restoration Hardware and was surprised by an entirely new look! For several months, I had read about the planned transformation, but for some reason I still wasn’t prepared for what I found!

It has been said that many companies reinvent themselves during an economic downturn and Restoration Hardware has certainly made a bold change. Change takes courage and I admire anyone who has the courage to take the risk! Restoration Hardware began their change with a thought from Pablo Picasso…Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction.

The new gallery setting is minimalistic….

The neutral gray palette is relaxed yet refined.

Restoration Hardware calls the change a complete re-conceptualization of the shopping experience and an artful expression of home furnishings in a gallery setting.

Good-bye Restoration Hardware as we once knew it!  Hello to the Reinvented. Remodeled. Reborn.
