Here We Go!
• • 1 CommentOkay, we’re ready! We had a fabulous soft opening and are so thankful and appreciative to all the family members and friends that came out to support us and see what we’ve been working so hard on.

SATURDAY!!
• • No CommentsFact: Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Proof: I never really planned to open a retail shop! It is something I’ve thought about doing in a fantastical daydream sort of way….and I did think that at some point it might be fun, but I had never PLANNED on it in a concrete sort of [...]

For the last week, I’ve had some silly messages scrawled on our front windows to entice folks to peek in the front windows. I put just a [...]
A Little Closer
• • No CommentsNow that we have all the walls covered – it only took two coats of primer and a five gallon bucket of paint – it’s time to start the floor!!! I chose a highly rated, but rather inexpensive wood laminate. My whole goal for our space is to create the look of a vintage beach [...]
Working the Weekend
• • No CommentsThis weird blue spot is now a lovely doorway to my future office – thanks to my husband and his skills with the mean looking saw!
Progress
• • No CommentsI’ve gone from crying “my eyes! my eyes!” in regard to the bright colors the studio was painted when we started working to cyring “my arms! my arms!” now that I’ve spent 2 days with a paintbrush. Well, actually with a roller – but part of the building features 10 foot ceilings so even on [...]
