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!
Uptown Shelby
You can visit this hidden gem along with many others in Uptown Shelby, which is just an hour from Charlotte, Asheville, Hickory, and Greenville, and just a few minutes from the Tryon Equestrian Center. Along with Newgrass, Uptown Shelby has other restaurants, shops, and destinations for your small town “Daycation”. So come eat, drink, shop, and be merry in the city of Pleasant Living!
When space is limited, it is valuable and greater thought is invested in creating a design that maximizes square footage to provide a functional space for the homeowner. Both manufacturers and designers alike are continuously thinking of new ways to give their clients the things they need, but using less space. One such item is the Murphy bed, yes, the one used in multiple comedy routines, but it has evolved into a stylish piece, yet remains as functional as ever. It is also comparable in price point to a traditional bed. Could the Murphy bed be the solution to your limited space problem? Let’s unpack exactly what it is and how it can help give you additional room in your home.
What to do when you don’t have the luxury of square footage? How can you create storage when there is not a lot of room, to begin with? Can you make small spaces work for you? These are good questions that we have helped our clients answer numerous times. While it may present more challenges than a larger home, it is possible to have the necessary storage for you to keep everything you need on hand. Small is not bad; in fact, it comes with multiple benefits, and a good design can help you maximize the space you do have to build a home that is exactly right for you. Let’s talk about some creative storage solutions for small spaces.
We always say details matter, and that goes beyond a project. Your home is filled with details that tell your guests who you are and what matters to you. Artwork, pottery pieces, and furniture are just a few things that give homeowners a chance to show off their style. Another area is hosting, and tablescapes have become a beautiful, fun way to share your own unique design choices with family and friends. Whether it is for a small gathering to enjoy time with those you love or to celebrate a special occasion, there are many ways to create the perfect look. By combining different colors, patterns, or materials, you can create a tablescape that will dazzle your guests, whether you prefer an elaborate or simple design.
Window treatments have made an interesting journey through the years in interior design. From floor to ceiling and mere window length, they have travelled the full circle of style. Today, window treatments can come in a variety of forms and options, plus they do more than just block out the sun; they can finish the look of a room and add the necessary touch that brings out the homeowner’s personality. Windows are our connection to nature and are an essential part of the home, which means they deserve proper consideration and care. They are also an area of the room that naturally draws the eye of the homeowner and guest alike. Most of the time, however, windows tend to be overlooked.
There’s nothing quite like the warm weather and smell of blooming flowers that come with springtime. While you may have grown used to cozying up indoors during the colder months, now you can start spending more time tending to your garden, playing with your kids in the yard, and kicking back on the patio while enjoying the sun.
But in order to fully enjoy your time outside (and potentially save yourself from having to pay for expensive home repairs in the future), you will need to perform some basic home maintenance. To help you get started, here are some key areas to tackle this spring, brought to you by Greenbrook Design.
