the amazing boutique gallery wall

Our amazing merchandiser Kristi Contes has been busy at work figuring out unique ways to display photos, layouts, and all the product that fills the store. The idea is to be far removed from the aisles of mega craft stores and be well, funky and innovative. Kristi used her ‘artsy smarts’ and designed a gallery wall filled with products that will have frames of all shapes and sizes mounted on the wall. Some frames will have portraits taken in our studio, some frames will have layouts + cards, and some giant frames will be filled with pegs + products.

We have been shy about showing off our work in progress, but this was to fun not to show everyone the direction we are headed. 


 

Its a work in progress… Check out those PB brand colored frames! Thats a girl who can paint! 

Inside the little orange frame is Chloe, kc’s baby girl doggie, who is coming for headshots next week. You will find her one of our PB mascots for pet photos and parties. Yep, her pawprints will be all over the Bug.

As store progress occurs we will be sure to update you. Our goal is to open our doors as soon as we possibly can.
