The Changes Continue




You know how I always talk about how quickly time passes?  My mind is yet again boggled by the fact that one week ago the store looked like the above photo.  The wall had just come down thanks to my good friends, Steve and Drew (Christy, the owner of Dekoko's, dad and husband).  Check them out in action....

They insisted on getting a photo of me holding my paint roller.  Painting was MY job!  Don't I look proud?


.....AND now here we are just ONE week later!


There are still some finishing touches like the beautiful awning and my signage but the bulk of the construction is now complete.  Oh yeah...maybe I better paint that trim too!


Here is a peak at the NEW and EVER changing Paper Pickle!  I hope you approve.


Smash books no longer have to be stacked on top of each other on a little shelf!  Everything will be a little more accessible!


Still have some great sales bins and beautiful projects through the store for you to get inspired by!  Did you notice those fabulous swaddle blankets by Basic Grey?  Have a look next time you are in!


Here is a look from the back of the store looking towards Dekoko's espresso counter.  Did you know that is is NOW only 10 steps to THE best latte in town.....can life get any better?!?


Look how nicely the 12x12 paper racks fill the NEW wall.....it is like it was all meant to be.  AND yes, those are Distress Paints you see on the white display ladder.


And the counter has gotten larger!  This area needs a little work but you can see we will now have lots of room for demos and make and takes!  Yes....they will be happening again!


What?  There is room on the counter for more than the debit machine?  Ha!

Great new baker's twine from Maya Road (100 yards for $7.50....best price I have ever seen from any company!) and fun little wooden spools and rulers!


More photos....isn't it wonderful?


And finally, the ribbon jars are now located INSIDE the store....what a concept!

So what do you think?  I am over the moon about my NEW space!  Can you tell?

Hope to see you soon!

PS...Store is still open three days per week (Wednesday 10-5, Thursday 10-4 and Saturday 9:30-3).  These hours are going to be under review now that our space has expanded.  I would love to know your thoughts....I am considering being open Tuesday-Saturday but maybe 10-3 each day.  Could this work this your schedules?  Let's figure this out together!

Your new space is BEAUTIFUL! And the latte speaks for itself. Must come in soon for a peek because I miss my pickle girls.

I saw your expanded space last week, unfinished, so I can't wait to see it fully done!!! The pics look great!! And I like the idea of Tues-Sat from 10-3... then again I'm a stay-at-home mom. :)
