New Shop Updates

 Ingenuity, hardware, galvanized steel, spray paint, anchors, reciprocating saws.... has been the name of the game lately!  It has been so much fun putting our heads together, being creatives in love...

 Late nights and Rough Sketches.


This not.....
that.

Painting into the Weeeee Hours

 My husband and I logged 20 hours of painting in 48 hours over the weekend! Looks fantastic, so bright and fresh. This shop is going to be killer!

We even had time for some break dancing ! This is Desmond taking advantage of the wide-openness. 


Floors are polished. Look at the difference! Highly recommend the Bona Floor System. 

Next phase: The Accessories Emporium

Circa v.3.0

 Been a while! Truth is, we have been scouting out possible new locations for the shop.  After many showings, debates, market research, late nights we realized that the best solution is right in our back yard (or front yard!) We are staying in our beloved Wayzata, MN. and moving just across the street from our current location... but tripling our sq. footage. Frankly, we have outgrown our quaintness. Time to spread some wings! Could not be more excited, anxious, happy, certain yet completely overwhelmed with what lies ahead and  I've decided to chronicle every step of the way, and work starts today! 

Phase 1: Paint. the interior walls. The color chosen: Raw Cotton. I figured a textile named color is a good choice for a clothing store, eh?
 All I know, is these walls gotta GO! Hip-hip hooray for blank slates!

 Stand by for AFTER photos. Wait until you see the exterior...
