ART INSTALL PART 2

Last week we had the remaining art pieces installed for our commercial client. We reused most of their existing artwork that they have received from clients, and also made a gallery wall out of some photographs -

Final reception space. we love the orange pillows

 

Our client has each project they have worked on photographed and framed for their office

This group is classic, low-key, and were wonderful to work with. We are so happy we could provide a space that showcased their personality.

CONSTRUCTION KICK-OFF

Today we had a meeting at our client's site to determine some last-minute exterior finishes. They have demoed the existing house and will begin construction in the next week or so. We are very excited to finally have this project rolling. They're an awesome couple with fantastic taste.

 Apparently our builder has great taste too.... check out the construction "trailer" they built from the house leftovers.....

it isn't a construction trailer without landscaping and decorative lighting

recessed cans!

There is storage, drafting tables, and even a water closet. Brilliant. We know this crew is going to be fun and we can't wait to give more updates!

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATO FESTIVAL

Yesterday was The Attack of the Killer Tomato Festival around our office. It was such a fun event that left us very, very full.

The Spazmatics - an 80's cover band - played and they were a blast!

some stands were extremely creative - tomato christmas with tomato ornaments and decorations

It was such a great day. The food and drinks were amazing, the band was awesome, and we can't wait until next year's festival!

CE LUNCH PRESENTATION

Yesterday Corporate Environments hosted a lunch presentation in honor of Melanie and the Kids II project. We always love the opportunity to share our design and inspiration with others. Corporate Environments was a key team member, supplying the majority of furniture for Kids II.

Melanie and Cooper giving some info on the Antenna workstations that were used for Kids II

In this new Kids II office space we decided to bring the workstation horizon down to a completely open-office concept. It is an adjustment to go from a standard cubicle to an open workstation, but Antenna was designed to increase collaboration and interaction between employees. So far it has been working great for Kids II.

Thanks so much to Corporate Environments for hosting this wonderful lunch. We hope everyone who attended enjoyed it as much as we did.

ART INSTALL

This morning we had an art install for a commercial client. They had this incredible quilt that was given to them just hanging on one of their existing office walls. So we decided to really showcase it in their new reception by framing it. It turned out amazing and we are so excited for them to see it -

everything is so new!

what a difference framing made

Their new office space is so bright and clean

Our client does a lot of work with the Botanical Gardens so we took one of their photographs and made a vinyl wallcovering for their breakroom. Wouldn't mind eating lunch here....

  

Their private offices are so tranquil with the blue accent walls

Our client should be moving into the new space this weekend so hopefully we will have more pictures to follow......

HEAT RETREAT

These brutal heat waves have us longing for some refreshing outdoor spaces -

  

all you need is a bottle of wine

Is there a better way to spend your sweat-drenched days? We cannot resist these beautiful pools and outdoor living spaces....  They actually make us want to get out and enjoy the merciless weather.
