A Little Bit of History...

Lauren and I have been a busy super duo over the past 2 months getting our studio+retail space spiffied-up.  Check out some of our proccess photos below:

 

The mapping out of our shiny new space.

Our counter bases built (by the amazing Hunter+Mackenzie duo) and waiting to be painted.

Concoctions for staining our counter tops (steel wool+vinegar and black tea).

Our stain samples with steel wool+tea

Accidentally dressing to match as per usual. 

Ready for the goods!

The shop dog (Bear) done for the day. 

Our sweet $1 Open/Closed sign we painted (yes that's florescent orange wood grain!)

Using our print table after installing our felt. 

(I love our peg board the most of everything in our new space)

Best Iron+Best Holder= A dream come true!

The sink we built 

(1 month of use and it is nowhere near this shiny anymore!)

Important tools of my trade. 

Keepin' time in style.

Our most recent project...It took us so long to paint it but we're so happy with the result! 

Next on the list is the hallway :)

New Prints for Freshly Printed!

Check out Jen's new tea towel print for Freshly Printed, just in time for summer and our opening celebrations! Because Jen and I share so many aesthetic inspirations it is no surprise that I pretty much adore all the prints she comes up with, but this may have to officially be my favourite!

Jen first made this print for a class we were in together at OCAD. Since then, and like so many of the things we did for school, it has been sitting in a box somewhat forgotten about. That is until about half a year ago when Jen found it and used it to make a couple of dreamy bags, and now tea towels!

 Its got a sweet graphic vibe and a retro summery feel which is exactly what my kitchen needs right now- can't wait to take one home :)
