On the eve of Thanksgiving this past year, our Home Store in Morristown was destroyed in an after hours electrical fire. As we spend this summer rebuilding , we thought we would share with you our progress in photos. Here are a selection of images from around the store, from the back office where the fire originated to the front showroom in which every surface was coated in sticky brown "smoke".
Above is the back office. Everything here was soaked in water which quickly froze the entire room into a single icy block for months.
Above is the front showroom. Here every surface was coated in smoke damage, which reached inside every drawer, box and even wrapped packages. When wood burns, the sap inside it is released with the smoke creating a sticky, smelly coating which is extremely difficult to remove.
The photo above shows the Simon Pearce Glass room. This space was engulfed in flames from the waist up, eliminating everything in the top half of the room.
