oh yes…. teleport me here please. 

Curvy pool, mountain scenery, mod pool furniture, poolside dogs…… what more should I ask for…. perhaps a cocktail with an umbrella in it.

Sunday Morning Inspiration is back.

Gio Ponti, you are my hero. 

My love for you is indefinite.  A true visionary. Every detail and design element is so spot on. You have inspired our new space. Where do I even start to dissect this space… perhaps it isn’t needed, this room is a work of art.

An interior that is so well put together, but isn’t ordinary and a tad unexpected, is our mantra. Our new shop is even more reflective of this. We are still in the process of gearing up and adding the touches, but our new spot is so sunny and full of contrast. A simple color pallet within the architecture, and added pops of color is where it’s at. Detail, detail, detail is what we are enjoying the most now that we can make sure every inch is considered.

xo to you Mr. Ponti!

 

 

Doors, they are open!

While the space is still evolving (it never really stops, honestly) we’re ready to get sales back up and running! So come see us! We’ve missed you so. Just a reminder on our hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11-6pm, Sunday 11-5pm. And don’t forget we’re having a kick-ass party on the 31st to christen our new digs!

Here’s a few teaser shots of what we’ve been up to! That’s David Sprecher creating the most intricate, and rather piercing I might add, installation out of razor blades. I know, right?! Our new space has so much light I can only imagine the patterns it casts as it flickers across these.

Progress is happening! New flooring, new lighting, the new space smells of sawdust and fresh paint. With each box that’s unpacked we’re more and more in love with our new space, basking in its newness. Everything is crisp and clean, thanks to our southern facing windows dousing everything in brightness. Can’t wait to show you! Our re-opening date (May 19th) is fast approaching…

Style inspiration for our new space!

Though the shop & studio are a dizzying display of boxes and installation crap, oh, everywhere, our eyes are on the prize. Here’s some of the inspiration behind the new space’s concept, which is currently in production. One day, very soon, we’ll unveil. Just a reminder to everyone, our new address is just across the street at 1818 (in the space where our friends Painted Lady used to be – we’ve pulled a Trading Spaces style move).

Regular business hours will resume May 19th.

Catch you on the filp! Keep popping back in for more details as they evolve!
