Painting the Shop

Everything is definitely chaotic right now. Mostly, in a good way! We are still really busy, but this afternoon I am taking a few hours to get organized and rejuvenate. I DID finally get a chance to upload photos from this weekend and photos of the shop so far. The front of the building is almost completely done, but we need to replace the front glass since it has been tagged/etched, and need to fix up the edges. You are seeing photos of a work in progress!
And here is a a photo of the front of the building. I am kind of in love. We are having our sign hand painted this week and getting the windows covered and start setting up inside!!
The front, if you can't really tell by the photos, is a minty blue/green, with chocolate jams and turquoise door. What do you think?? Do you love it? Any suggestions? I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for our little shop and the progress we are making. Everyday we are getting closer.

I'll be back later with photos from our weekend visit with my Dad.

xo,
Beca

  2. Looks great so far and I'm digging the color combo :) Are you getting a sign for the top part or doing the shop name on the window?

  7. Lauren, it was aquamarine and I can't remember the company, but I'll find the card for it later.

    That photo was right after I had my perm done, so it was ultra curly...it relaxed a bit!

  8. preeettty. also, it might be cheaper to call a glass specialist and they can shave a layer off the glass (making the etching & tags go away) :)

  9. Our friend offered to buy the glass as a gift, and is pretty much insisting on it! Ha! We're not going to say no!

  10. Howdy. So I was in the Museum Of Contemporary Art today and saw your glasses. I write the shopping column/blog for City Beat and wanted to spotlight your glasses...so I searched Tumbleweeds on the web and this popped up! And I'm sooo excited because besides writing for city beat, I also co-own Blind Lady and I know that shop on Adams!! So please please email me about the shop and I'll write about it asap. superclea@cox.net.

    Yay for you!
