The contact paper for the countertops should be in tomorrow. And I've been trying to figure out which way to paint the cabinets. Thinking the top options. What do y'all think?

[deadlikedisco]

Oh hey! Been a while, hasn’t it? I don’t think anyone actually reads this thing, but whatever.

We’re currently working on trying to make our horrible kitchen less visibly horrible. This weekend we took off all the extras around the cabinets, the trim around the window, and fixed the window base that literally had a baseboard there instead of the tile that is on the rest of the windows. Why it was there to begin with is beyond us. They put it right over top the tile though as we discovered. Sadly the tile couldn’t be saved cause they smashed up the part that went over the edge leaving a hole. So we just cut a thin piece of wood to cover it up.

I’ve bought some contact paper to put over the formica countertops and we bought some retro-ish looking handles from Lowes. Just need to figure out what color to paint the cabinets. Currently thinking the base ones a fun color and the top ones just white. We’re going to paint the wall as well, which I’m also thinking just white. But I need to mess around with my colors in photoshop some more I think.

So Phase One is; painting, hardware, and countertops. Phase Two we’ll change out the lighting and take on the big awkward post next to the island bar.stove.

First patch of products came in today! Getting excited!

[deadlikedisco]

Check out my Instagram stories and help me pick out first run of stickers! I've got no money but really want to start making products so I can do local events and feel more legit. Also I think growing my brand via local verse the mass of the internet would work more in my favor. But I can't do as many of every product as I'd like, so looking to see what people would rather have and help me narrow it down.

Just one of the new designs I've been working on. Should be in the shop soon.

A little behind-the-scenes of my process for figuring out first run of items for the shop. I literally have to move things around. It's how my brain works best. haha. Now's the time to let me know if there's something in particular you're looking for!

Items aren't final yet, but at least I'm heading in the right direction now. Also working on concepts for our pop-up set-up. Hopefully I'll have some roughs to share of that soon as well.

I'm working on trying to decide what couple products I want to start making and selling for local vendor markets and pop-ups. Thinking stickers, pins, maybe a patch or two, and a shirt or two. Anyone got a favorite or a particular design you'd like to see on something?

[deadlikedisco]

Thinking of making a post about my skincare routines. Anyone interested in that? Or is it just me that finds people's routines interesting?

[deadlikedisco]

Shout out to whoever bought this shirt! Glad to know someone likes my stuff enough to buy it.

This summer I plan on making some actual products and setting up an online store. If you know any place in the Orlando area that’s looking to add small artist work to there store, hit me up!

He is completely out. This dog only likes to sleep in uncomfortable positions. I heard him adjusting so I checked and he made it more uncomfortable by putting his paw up higher. He is literally snoring right now. Such a weirdo.
