Progress report

I thought a quick update is in order. The inside of the new space is coming along nicely. The walls and partitions are down, the window treatments have been ordered, new product ordered, meetings with sales reps scheduled, lighting being considered, utilities switched, dumpster ordered, new sign for front yard in production, marketing for grand re-opening event in place, floor plans and cash wrap placement twirling around in my head.

I'm entering into the "hunt and find" stage of getting my new space ready, and it reminds me of the scavenger hunts I used to have for my kids and their friends! This was one of their favorite things to do and it was a highly anticipated event every year! Lots of memories were made and I loved making up the lists. I'm not kidding when I tell you that my list of "necessities" rivals the best scavenger hunt list out there! These are the items I will use to set the tone and vibe of the space. It starts with rusty chains {to suspend my very non traditional curtain rods?} and ends with old sign posts {my new card rack?} and is filled with lots of cool stuff in between! My garage is already resembling scrapyard heaven! I don't dare leave the movers unattended for fear they'll pass up some of my treasures thinking they don't belong in a retail shop! Oh...note to self: check to see if movers are up to date on their shots! Just kidding {kind of}!
