thanks to everyone who came by the studio this weekend to celebrate our opening and say hello! (distractified by all the fun, i only had the presence of mind to pick up my camera at the very beginning and end of each event, so please excuse the lack of actual guests in these photos…the proof is in the recycling bins.) it has been such a beautiful, fun weekend.
and just like at home, setting the dates for the parties was great motivation to get things finished up – there is just one room left to go.
(the gorgeous flowers that lovely jeniffer church sent look just like the ones on the cover of annie sloan’s book, don’t you think?)
i am so grateful to my family and friends for helping me pull everything together…hanging gigantic bulletin boards, hanging lights, hanging light fixtures (all mainly at the 11th hour), for arranging and sending gorgeous, happy flowers, bringing yummy food and celebratory-type gifts, hauling and icing down drinks, and just generally for being there for me over the past months as i’ve prepared to take this leap.
in other late-breaking opening news, i am so excited about my wonderful new neighbors! sew memphis has just opened around the corner, and midtown massage & bodywork is opening on may 28th right next door. when you come to cooper/young, please pop by and see them too.

Hi Stephanie – The shop looks fabulous! It must be wonderful to have your own business. It is sure to be a huge success. Wish I could visit in person.

cat, thank you! i have missed you! i am working on a post that will list all the paint colors…i have had so many inquiries, and am glad to share, so stay tuned for that. the walls in the classroom are behr’s pensive sky, #710e.2. of course, when annie sloan releases her new wall paints, hopefully in 2013, i will be re-painting. natch.
CAT says
Thanks! look forward to the post too!
I never would have thought it was that color but now I see it.
