All in a Day’s Work: Event Time-lapse

poppiesandposies — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 15:36:01 +0000

We spent our Labor Day weekend working on one of the biggest and most beautiful events of the year! To give everyone an idea of how much goes into a large event like this, we set up a GoPro to capture the entire two-day set up. We hope you enjoy watching the entire process unfold. We certainly enjoyed making it happen.

Spring

We’ve been busy bees getting prepared for the upcoming wedding season that is almost upon us. Our latest trip to the flower market was a great reminder of how many gems Spring time creates. From hellebores to ranunculus, clematis and peonies it’s all beautiful. We’ll be sharing more and more as things start to get busy in the studio. Please stay tuned!

We’re hiring!

A few snapshots from our studio over the past few weeks. Our cacti and cheerful flowers are the only thing getting us through this brutally cold winter. 30 days until Spring, but whose counting?!

O’verlays

A few months ago I completed my DIY makeover on an Ikea Tarva dresser. It was such fun to transform the simple piece of furniture into something custom. In researching other ideas for DIY furniture facelifts, I came across these amazing ‘O’verlays’. Designed especially for the beautification of Ikea furniture, these decorative panels are the easy way to make something ordinary look like a million bucks!

On a boat…

I think Pia Jane Bijkerk is one incredibly talented lady. Her styling, books, and kitchen adventures having me swooning. Perhaps most inspiring, is her lovely little houseboat in Amsterdam. The ‘petit batuea vert’ was featured a few years back in Anthology Magazine. I still look back at this spread when I want to dream a bit about having a floating house of my own. See the article and read more about Pia here.
