wall work











A little tweaking to go ( and lots of new Spring inventory on the way ), but we are basically up and running with our new wall treatments. The changes are bright and clean and will offer so much more freedom for display. It feels like the space itself is breathing, simply by removing the free standing shelf units & creating a pleasant open atmosphere. I think of the new areas as blank canvas's, back round for new jewelry and fun fabric accessories. We just can't wait to be getting crazy in the studio again. Not that carpentry and painting are not creative, honestly, figuring out what and how to build the new pieces out of all of the old pieces was the best part. But, I am ready to move on.

Still to complete: new case for our glass island series and shelving for hair ornaments. To be installed tomorrow if the paint is dry, new free standing units that Bernie built to hold our large "cube" jewelry cases. Oh, and all of the canvas shelf liners. I think I may wait to tackle those when the weather turns a bit warmer. No fun varnishing floor cloth's with the heat on and doors and windows closed. It was 50 degrees and beautiful here all day, I took my time on my run's to the hardware store and glass shop. Really felt like Spring. I can't wait.

Time to head out.

See you tomorrow.

You two (in fact your entire family) are AMAZING!!!! I love what you have done. It already FEELS and looks like spring in there.

Saw scarves and things I would love, and of course, this is my year to get onto the island bandwagon and find my own piece (instead buying them for others), oh, but I'll still buy for others too.

Love your work and creativity,
Sharon
