Our story, Greenbrook Design Begins
Read about how Greenbrook Design was introduced and opened a showroom in Uptown Shelby.
The Idea Started In 2014
The business was growing, which also meant the number of employees was increasing, and the office space was becoming, well, let’s say, a bit tight!
Our story began; it was now time for more space in all areas of the woodshop. After searching numerous locations in Shelby, nothing seemed “just right.” So, the project was reluctantly put on hold, and our story is to be continued as we search for the perfect location.
The photo shows the manufacturing facility, also home to the original showroom and office space for five employees.
A Unique Opportunity Presents Itself
In the fall of 2015, Stacey and Travis were approached by an acquaintance to look at the old Campbell building, built in 1929. Upon entering the building, Stacey immediately had a vision and began to put a plan in place.
After a lunch meeting uptown, Stacey & Travis announced they had a site visit planned for the design team (Jan & Marie). A short walk around the corner led them to the Campbell building in uptown Shelby. Without hesitation, everyone agreed.
Why Rebrand?
Quickly, the questions began to surface! Should the showroom be rebranded? What does a name mean? What are we going to offer our customers? After weighing the advantages and disadvantages, decisions had to be made to move forward with the concept of adding a showroom. The enthusiastic company owners and staff were unaware that the debate was moving them closer to a name! It was decided that rebranding the company with a new name and location would help us to expand the business and bring awareness to more products we offer. So our story continues…
A Name, New Logo
Now that we have a name, we need a logo!
Stacey Walker designed this meaningful logo to bring everything together.
The oak tree symbolizes Travis’s first project, his grandfather’s deep-rooted legacy, and the promise of new growth.
A tree can only stand tall with deep roots to support it. Travis and Stacey are the fourth generation of relatives to live on the Greenbrook property.
Interestingly, the Celtic Meaning of the Oak Tree also agrees. The oak is considered a cosmic storehouse of wisdom embodied in its towering strength. Ancient Celts observed the oak’s massive growth and impressive expanse. They took this as a clear sign that the oak would be honored as part of the logo for its endurance and noble presence. The oak would serve as a lasting symbol of strength, heritage, and the foundation of their craft.
