Building Update: Paint & Design

We’re making so much progress on our building! Currently, we’re working on designing and painting. Designing is the fun part, and I’m excited to take you along on my design journey. Paint really changes the look of a space, so it is going to make such a big difference. Make sure to keep checking back for our latest building update.

We got some paint samples to see the color in the shop.

It is important to see the paint color in your actual room. The lighting makes all the difference. We went over to the shop one day to swatch the different paint colors to make sure we liked them. It was definitely a family affair.

We needed so much paint to cover that space. It’s a good thing we have a van!

We went as a family to the Sherwin-Williams store to pick up the paint. This shop is a big paint job, so we needed a lot. It is still surprising to me that we need how much paint we need. Our building is pretty large, and we have to paint all the walls and the ceiling with this paint.

I’m so grateful for my family for helping out with the business and the new shop.

I’m so excited about the paint. It is going to make such a difference in the building. This is the first step in the design process that we are able to see in the actual shop. We’re also painting the exterior, so stay tuned for that update as well.

It might not look exciting, but this is a huge step towards opening up the shop! I cannot wait.

The design process.

I love this part. I take inspiration from different shops around the world to try to create a space that is bright and inviting. It needs to be bright so that you can see the beautiful pillows, and I want it to be inviting so that you feel at home as you shop around and design your space. I picked a white paint color so the pillows will pop next to it.

I love these deep blues and dark tones with natural wood and brass. This is a little taste of my inspirations for the shop design.

Over the last year, I searched for inspiration online and in the places around me. I have so many pictures saved of different paint colors and cabinet designs. I’m sharing a couple of my ideas so that you can get an idea of what the shop is going to look like.

Color is so important. The color of the shop walls and decor will help create the mood of the space and make the shop recognizable. I love blues because they are comforting and make you feel at home. This is important in a home goods store because you feel comfort as you shop for things for your bedroom or living room. I also love simple designs that make statement pieces pop.

Next up, we’re getting doors. I love doors, so this is an exciting one for me. They are going to pop on the white walls and the exterior. We worked hard designing the doors with local woodworkers, so I’m even more excited to feature them in my shop.

Keep checking back to see more updates! The store is coming along and is going to be an awesome addition to our business. Thank you for all your support in making this possible.
