McGee- Yup, all the photos were taken by either John or I on one of our many adventures. We took the picture of the Alaskan volcano on a sea plane hovering about 50 feet above a giant glacier covered with volcanic ash! And the fire escape photos are from when we both lived in NYC and loved the industrial look of the stairways snaking down the gorgeous skyscrapers. Glad they tickle your fancy! They look really good in black frames with a thick white mat around ‘em. We’ll post pics of them in a room asap for you guys. It really helps you get the full effect.

Kaylene- B has officially been moved up the list. We’ll keep an eye out and hopefully will dig up somethin’ worthy of your hubby’s approval:)

xo,

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re über excited about our little print shop, and it really helps to hear that you guys share in our glee.

Kaylene, of course the framed P above the console table is one of our own creations. I trolled magazines and newspapers until I found the perfect big letter P at the start of an article (I loved the idea of it being surrounded by smaller type) and then cut out a square around the letter and blew it up about 400% at Kinkos on good poster paper. And we’re actually in the process of finding lots of other enlarged intro paragraph letters to offer to people in our shop so you won’t have to wait very long to pick up your very own. It’s sort of our take on a monogram- the copy around the P is pretty obscured thanks to crafty cropping, but you can make out the word “osmosis” and the top of the name “Oscar De La Renta” since we cut it out of one of my old fashion magazines. Fun, no? Stay tuned for other enlarged letters hitting the shop any day now. Note: to see the art that we’re referring to, visit this old post and scroll down to the bottom two pics:

And speaking of letters Laurel, our other take on a monogram (the “J” “and” “S” artwork above the bed) is also something we plan to add to the shop asap. Collecting 26 interesting letters is hard work- but we definitely want each and every initial to be unique for a hip, mixed & matched feel. Stay tuned for those hitting the shop in the upcoming weeks as well! Note: to see the art that we’re referring to, visit this old post:

My favorite original art that you have is your initials hanging over your bed – I’d love it if you had some options like that.

what -I- want to know is where you got the framed “P” thing hanging above your console table and what the rest of it says, haha. Good luck on your new business venture, btw. Great idea :)
