viva verde

working on the new wing of the store, and what has become a moving project has now turned into a complete metamorphosis of the entire work place…YIKES! i was only thinking of the big changes, but what about the small?

one thing that was a real treat: Path Design left their awesome remodeled restroom. now i could repaint and tear out the floor, add a new window or even gut the whole thing, but why?!? Rachel installed these GREAT cork tiles, which i have been wanting for the other restroom back when they were in Domino Mag. they are super affordable and if you are patient, you can install them yourself.

(moving in the displays)

The entire back space is white and grey, good for choosing colors, but low on personality. Rachel painted the bathroom, Aztec, from Green Planet Paint and it is the only “warm” wall in the entire store…gonna keep!

I decided to go through one of the best deals on the planet: IKEA “as-is” section for shelving or other tiddies. i found these simple and clean looking glass shelves for displaying nick-nacks. they were only$2.49!! so i bought 4 just in case.
the rest is just what i already had in my old restroom and the store: vintage mirror from a display, local artist painting, Family Van candle, and various glass objects that were in storage corners.

(awesome cork flooring & the light teal really highlights the walls huh!)

(this is how we are come Sat evening…and boy am i tired!)
