Life, Styled
Food and drink have a remarkable way of bringing people together—sparking conversation, encouraging connection, and creating the perfect backdrop for new ideas and lasting memories. In the heart of downtown Shelby, NC, you’ll find a local favorite that does just that: Newgrass Brewing Company.
This state-of-the-art microbrewery is more than just a place to enjoy a drink—it’s a vibrant gathering spot beloved by locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re catching up with friends or making new ones, Newgrass offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home.
Located just two blocks from Greenbrook Design and one block from the historic Court Square, Newgrass holds the distinction of being Cleveland County’s first microbrewery—a milestone we were proud to be part of. We were honored to contribute to the construction of this exciting addition to Shelby’s growing downtown scene and love seeing how it continues to foster community and creativity in our town
Farm-To-Table
Newgrass Brewing Company offers everything you could want in a modern brewery—craft beer, a farm-to-table kitchen, and live music every weekend—all wrapped in a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place that feels both relaxed and refined, making it ideal for casual get-togethers with friends or a laid-back night out.
What sets Newgrass apart is its ability to deliver the quality and experience you’d expect from a big-city venue, all within the charm of a small town. From seasonal brews to thoughtfully sourced dishes and a stage filled with talented musicians, Newgrass brings a vibrant energy to Uptown Shelby that’s truly one of a kind. We’re fortunate to have such a standout destination just steps away from Greenbrook Design.
Preserving The Past
While Newgrass Brewery has only been open since 2015, it is full of charm, character, and history. It is dedicated to preserving the past, which is evident when you walk through their doors. Learn more about the history of the materials and Walker Woodworking’s journey to making Newgrass the beautiful destination it is.
Check out the Newgrass website, which has their craft beer list, menu, artist lineup, and the story behind this little brewery. They have participated in our First Fridays here at Greenbrook Design, and we look forward to having them join us again soon! To stay up to date, just visit our happenings page. We invite you to join us for a free sample of home-crafted beer while enjoying our hospitality. We hope to see you soon in Uptown Shelby. Don’t forget to stop by Greenbrook Design and say hello!

Walker WoodworkingOne of the best features of any bedroom is the closet. This is the place where not just your clothes go, but a myriad of other objects as well. As it is considered one of the more functional areas in the room, this means it has certain obligations to meet, including sufficient space and storage capacity. Few things frustrate a homeowner as much as a dysfunctional closet that is a hazard every time the door is opened. Having one that is designed according to your needs, with ways to keep everything organized and in its proper place, is a dream come true. Of course, while closets need to be functional, they can also be stylish and ever personalized to your particular needs. Let’s talk about what goes into designing the perfect walk-in closet.
Finishing a basement or renovating it completely can also increase the value of your home. There is also the possibility of gaining additional income by renting out the basement. A basement is a blank canvas waiting to be transformed into a useful and functional space for you and your family.
Greenbrook DesignHome is our place of refuge, the place where we can recharge and refresh ourselves before heading out for another day at the office, whether that is driving to town or walking down the hall to our desk. Our home is also our safe zone, especially when it comes to our health. We implement things that help us maintain and protect ourselves against illness, such as easy-to-clean surfaces and materials that hinder the growth of bacteria. Multiple companies are dedicated to the health of their customers, which is why they continually develop products that not only limit the spread of disease but also promote overall wellness, whether physical or emotional. Both work together to help maintain our good health. Let’s discuss some great home products that can be utilized in your home to increase wellness for yourself and those you love.
Walker WoodworkingCoffee is a staple ingredient for the majority of people’s mornings. We love the freshly brewed scent as we begin our day and rely on the boost it gives us to get the last of the sand out of our eyes, plus a little bounce in our step. Since it has become such an integral part of the start of the day, it makes sense to create a dedicated area in the home for our beloved beverage. From a sideboard near the kitchen with all the essentials necessary to make the perfect cup or an entire section set aside for its use, there are multiple reasons why you should have a coffee station in your home. Let’s talk about how to design the perfect coffee bar area in your home, as well as some helpful tips for creating it.
Seating is a crucial element in the kitchen, as it serves as the primary hub for nearly all activities that occur in the home. Having a place to sit and talk while dinner is being made or to enjoy that morning cup of coffee makes the kitchen that much more inviting, as well as creating an environment just right for connecting with others. Ensuring there is ample room for everyone can be a challenge for both large and small kitchens, as you cannot simply add a chair or barstool wherever you want. Kitchen islands are a great place for incorporating extra seating options, but built-in seating, often referred to as banquettes, is a wonderful way to gain seats with style. Let’s discuss the benefits of incorporating built-in kitchen seating and explore ideas on how to integrate it into your design.
