Back when I first started on Flickr, the first thing I did was a decor directory series, going thorough all of the local decor packages that I knew of at the time for the main local chains (Safeway, QFC, Fred Meyer, and Albertsons). That's been very useful to refer back to, but when it came to Lifestyle v2, I didn't get around to posting all of the variations (I posted three, and there are at least five others out there that I know of by now, though not all of them are used locally), instead intending to come back to them later. Well, many years later, I'm finally coming back to one of them, one that I've really needed to refer back to many times yet haven't ever actually posted.
This is Lifestyle v1.9, a weird transitional decor between v1 and v2 which has fully-formed Lifestyle v2 wall signage but still uses the aisle markers, category markers, and other small elements from Lifestyle v1. I initially thought this was quite rare, but from what I know now, it seems that this was surprisingly common for a transitional decor package; however, because the only noticeable differences between it and v2 are the category and aisle markers and the mid-2010s refresh swapped out those elements, it's almost impossible to tell the difference between v1.9 and v2 in refreshed stores (which is most of them), unless Safeway was sloppy when they did the refresh.
