Photo Shoots and Construction!

Official Balloon Holder

My very first photo shoot experience and it was glorious!!! I mean. the waking up at 5:30 AM in order to catch the sunrise wasn't so fun, but the result was totally worth it! I used three girls that are friends and family to model. In other words, girls just like you, that will wear Grace Boutique clothing daily. After all, that's what its all about: finding the perfect outfit to wear during the day, everyday, and looking your absolute best! 

,
My wonderful models and I!
The girls where so great and we had such a blast chugging coffee,blasting Maroon 5, and playing dress up all morning while Brittany McBrayer worked her magic behind the camera. We got some fabulous shots, so make sure and look for the "Sneak Peak: Grace Boutique" album on Facebook in the coming weeks!
The new carpet gets installed tomorrow! FINALLY! And if anyone knows how to hang racks for clothes onto masonite covered concrete walls please let me know :D mmmkthanks!

The Joys of Remodeling

Of course I wanted to change the wall color
Ta-Da!




Daisy Spell. That is the color I chose to paint the accent wall behind the register. Daisy Spell. I thought it sounded cute which is partyl why I picked the color, let's just be honest.
HOWEVER. Daisy Spell became my LEASE favorite color when the Paint guy at Lowe's forgot to put the lid on good, and I spilled a quart of it alllllll over myself and the middle of Lowe's. Riiiight in front of all the registers. Awesome.

I THEN proceeded to be locked out of the store for about 40 minutes covered in Daisy Spell. My locks are a bit persnickity. Alas, Chester came to my rescue and got the door open after throwing his body against it,. causing it magically open. Its a male thing, I'm convinced. I tried that same thing and nothing.

The flooring situation has been less than ideal. Partly beacause its a HUGE decision and I could not make up my mind for the life of me. Which therefore caused the floor guy, Joe to get just a tiiiiiiiiny bit frustrated with me :) It has kind of been a nightmare. I am proud to say the floors go in FRIDAY MORNING! As in THIS Friday! As in....TWO DAYS!
Part of the millions of hangers I have tied bows on

This is what Grace Boutique is all about...and the finished Daisy Spell  project

Its alllll coming together
It is all going to be worth it and can't show all of you the finished product! Make sure and mark it on your calenders to come shopping at Grace Boutique August 22!
