A Day With Us In The Studio

So, I know that I have been teasing you all a bit about these new ideas and inspirations that Jaime and I have for new frames and products . Well, we’ve been working hard in the studio getting ready to take all of these ideas and inspirations out of our mind, and put them onto our frames .

We’re excited beyond words when we are able to spend a FULL day just in the studio, plugging away. Jaime is usually the one who does all the cutting. We both have our “things,” you see, that we tend to do more than others. She just works the saw easier and faster than I. Here she is cutting wood in the shop for a few of our orders. We use salvaged & new wood, moldings and other vintage items.

Here is a sneak peek of a few of the things we’ve been working on. One of the frames below was for my brother in law, who lost his only brother. I stumbled upon this quote and immediately knew what I would do with it and who I would use it for. Since then, we’ve received several request for this frame.

More often than not, we are usually multi-tasking in the studio. So while Jaime was plugging away making our frames from scratch, I wasIMG_2123.JPG prepping a chest we are giving a makeover for one of our loyal clients.

People often give us their heirloom pieces of furniture, hand-me-downs, or pieces they have found while thrifting to re-do so that it will go with their personal style. It’s always so fun for us to see the look on our client’s face when they see the piece of furniture, that used to be such an eyesore, and now it goes perfectly in their home.

We’ll be posting more pictures of our new frames this week, so be sure to check back with us !

I must admit, it is always fun when we get to work in our studio. We are so busy running around working in others homes…so we soak up our studio time. Thanks for the lovely comments ladies!
