workspace#2a

Work in the print studio has ramped up and “inspiration board Monday” has become “inspiration board Tuesday” this week, Yikes!

I am noticing a trend here  …. I am definitely very partial to yellow these days.  I think Soleil definitely has something to do with this.  Plus, pops of punchy colors evokes a happy feeling that I’m totally  digging.  Standing lamp and ornate mirror courtesy of Ikea.  Glass top Sawhorse table, Parsons bookcase, yellow chair – complements of West Elm, rug and crewel curtain – Anthropologie of course.

{PF’s Work Space Board #1}

PFofficeinspiration

Now that I went ahead and secured a small space (and small is a huge understatement here) I’m going ahead and mapping out the first of three inspiration boards.   Given the square footage,  it will probably be best to be as minimalistic as possible – though I do plan to pay hommage to my Bomehian style.  The most important things is – though minute, the space needs to be multi-functioning.  A windowed wall will be framed with this gorgoeus Woods wallpaper that I absolutely adore – a ruffled curtain in ivory would add just the right softening touch.  An adjacent wall will be painted in a dramatic dark navy paint and will also serve as the backdrop of the multi-functioning grey toned Sloane bookcase.  The bookcase is a smart choice as I can use it for display items and also as a guest desk.  The yellow parsons table which I just L-O-V-E adds a really big punch and will be the focal point of the room.  I decided on two richly designed Terai folding chairs to complement the Parsons’s table – the best part is that I can fold and stow them away when not in use.  The floor will be draped in a shag rug that is modern yet quite homey.  Accessories items will include a silver hammered desk lamp, a metal antique phone, and possibly a cork board for messages. Hmmm,  the build out cost for this room is about $2294.00.  I believe with some  D-I-Y and a little more research the same look can be achieved for 1/3 of the cost.   I think these elements work quite well together and it already feels like Petite-Fete’s new home.

We are packing our bags and we are out!  Ok, not that far … same web address, same email, same phone, just new surroundings.  Petite-Fete is moving its office from the back of my living room (yeah!) to a new office/studio on Austin Street – 71-21 Austin Street, Suite 201 in Forest Hills that is.  As of the first of April  we will be ready for visitors, drop-ins, etc.  The studio will be undergoing some minor renovations in the meantime to make the space welcoming just for you.  I promise to keep you all posted during all these changes.

Petite-Fete has a new fresh face!  This fabulous makeover is all due to the work of Duane Anderson of dkandesondesigns.  Duane is a super creative talent, is passionate about his work, and is a dream to work with.  All in all he’s the best of the best in my book.    Also up for great mention is  the work of my photographer extraordinaire Rosie McCobb.   Rosie is super creative, has a great eye, and as you can see from my new images she’s  a skilled photographer.  She never stops until that “it” shot is achieved.   I adore my dynamic duo and a special thanks to them for helping Petite-Fete shine.
