Changes…..

So… I’ve been struggling whether or not to let the cat out of the bag now, or wait for everything to be complete…. I’m just too excited, so I’ll share the good news!

….. nope, not pregnant….. nope, not quitting the day job…..

I’m renting an office!!!!!

If you’re a fan on Facebook or a twitter peep… you already know this, but I wanted to make it official on our website!

A while back I got the idea to contact owners who had vacant store fronts in downtown Davidson and see if they’d let me display canvases in the windows until they had the space leased. This didn’t pan out as planned. Then I got the wild idea to inquire about renting an office. This turned out to be a lot less expensive than I imagined! I signed a lease a week and a half ago, and the lease will start on June 1st!!

Why am I doing this?
1. I’m tired of my business crap (gear, client files, office supplies, ect.) taking over my house. My office is currently in the small bedroom of our house, which is also shared by our cat, Lucy. It’s also the room that will be a nursery whenever we decide to have a little one.
2. I need to separate work & home life better. Right now it’s just too easy to go up to the office and work, when I really should be focused on spending time with the hubs, cleaning, ect.
3. I’m sick of lugging my sample albums & canvas to every coffee shop in town, looking like a fool trying to get in the door, and then praying their is a clean table free to sit at.

So…. starting in June all potential client/client meetings will be at my office in downtown Davidson! (unless you aren’t local, then we’ll Skype) You’ll be able to see lots of sample albums, browse photos on the flat screen, see all the pretty canvases hung on the walls, see all album options, ect.

I’ve got to spend the last few/coming few weeks picking out all the decor for the space. It’s nice to not have to consider dog hair when looking at nice things!

Here’s a snippet of how it will look…..

 You’ve probably also noticed the new logo…. don’t ya love it??!?! Being a southern girl, and working in a monogram shop for a couple of years… they’re right up my ally!
