As some of you know, I am an early riser. I wake up around 4:00 in the morning. I can imagine most of you think I am a bit crazy, but with 3 children, 2 dogs, 1 husband, 1 shop, and about 10 clients I need those quiet early morning hours to get ready for my day. Most of the time I am able to keep up with everything, but this past week has been particularly hectic. So, I apologize if this post is a bit shorter than most.
I have been spending some time focusing on our little shop in front of our studio.
With the help of Kate Downs at Burro Diseno, we have designed our Swedish furniture flyer to send out to our clients as well as fellow designers.
We have also been rearranging the shop to incorporate all of these new lovelies.
I like the way the Swedish pieces look in the shop mixed in with the industrial furnishings.
We put this 200 year old Swedish settee on top of an industrial table. Vintage leather suit cases are stored underneath next to an old clock face.
All of these images were taken by the newest member of our design team, Kelsey.
I think she did a great job of capturing the feeling of our shop. The raw industrial space juxtaposed with the more detailed Swedish pieces really works for me.
The shop floors are white oak. We left them unstained and sealed them with a
clear flat sealer.
Most of our black painted Swedish pieces are in our window, which make them a bit of a challenge to photograph. I love combining these beautiful chest of drawers with old metal gears and film wheels.
A vintage French educational poster is hung above one of our black chest of drawers with a collection of binoculars and magnifying glasses.
I really like the way this display looks. I think the neutral color palette of black, brown and nickel really works. Sorry for the incredible close up!!!
I also wanted to thank all of you (for and against!) who commented on my last post.
I couldn't make the advertising decision without you. I will let you know what I decide by next week. I just need a few more days to make my decision.
Have a wonderful day!!!
