So many updates to share! In January, we moved across the hall! Both wings of our business will benefit from this move. Our furniture has more room to stretch and our studio is now completely open and separate from the props. We've also gained new neighbors! Allium Design and Omnivent Inc. are in our building now. We look forward to many opportunities to collaborate with them and lots of great brainstorming sessions during lunch breaks.
The new space has fantastic light. Our incredible landlords spent months putting in new windows for us. We still have the same white painted brick walls and hardwood floors. We've also built six different backdrop walls that are on wheels so they can be moved to catch the light and offer 6 unique aesthetics.
In February we held a few studio sessions to gather some incredible photos to highlight the new space. I'll share some of them from our session with Alison Conklin Photography here:

In March, Abby is spending most of her time re-upholstering some new pieces and some old. Meg will work on some of the wood pieces, painting and fixing some things. In late March we hope to update our inventory page and our packages page. We'll have so many new pieces and new combinations of lounges to share. There is so much to be done! Meanwhile, we are continuing to book weddings for 2017 and 2018 and we still have studio dates as well.
Here's some long shots of the new studio space taken by Zachary Hartzell featuring Mandee from Signed by M and Alexis of Wild Hues prepping for styled shots (more from this shoot later).
I'll leave you with another set of fun photos from Alison Conklin. Below is a shot of her great Dane puppy, Clementine. For more cute puppy action, check out Clemmie's instagram @ohhmydarlinclementine
