Office Updates.

Well, lots has changed since I last did an office update. I purchased a sofa, although not the West Elm one I’d been planning on for a while. I found one on craigslist I just couldn’t pass up. This single purchase spurred the office design into a completely different direction.

As, it’s obvious gray & orange are my business colors. Well, this sofa…. it’s…. pink. I truly wanted my office to reflect my online presence. So… you’ll be seeing a few changes around here soon…. namely…. the addition of pink! I’ve done lots of digging around and decided adding pink was viable. I’ve been pinning things like crazy on my Pinterest “new office” board. I even made a special trip to Mary Jo’s last Friday to see if I could find some fabric to help marry the orange with the pink. I found a really pretty floral, and bought 2 yards. I plan on making a pillow or two 🙂

So here’s the progress…..(excuse the iPhone photos!)

As you may notice, my new canvas has been hung over the mantle! I LOVE it!! I also got some large prints hung over the sofa!

I decided to display my wedding dress (which was also my mom’s dress & my aunts dress)

I got my sample album bags monogrammed & in the office! I am so in love with these. I had them custom made to fit my albums and then had them monogrammed. All our albums will come with a custom bag & they will  be monogrammed with your new monogram as a couple 🙂

So…. things still to be done….

1. Find a rug. (Thinking I’ll try this! Gray & white stripes here i come…)
2. Reupholster the gray chairs in a white cotton.
3. Install curtains.
4. Hang monogram logo over my desk.
5. Find & hang a chandelier over the coffee table.
6. Get my internet installed. It’s been ordered, Windstream is just dragging their feet on the install.
7. Move all equipment & safe over from home.

On my quest to incorporate pink into the business, I purchased Jeremy & I new wedding duds to shoot in! Last year we bought Jeremy a special gray suit from J. Crew to wear for weddings. So this year it was my turn… I bought a new Lilly Pulitzer dress, and Jeremy a new tie.

We won’t be frumpy photographers at your wedding, we’ll look like stylish guests! I can’t wait to test out the new duds at our next wedding on Oak Island 🙂
