Detroit Declaration!

I'm excited about the new Detroit Declaration drafted by a group of inspiring Detroiters. Check out the website and their facebook page, sign the declaration, watch the video below, and join this movement for change in our city!

Happy New Year!

Thank you to everyone who has stopped in our new store in our first eight weeks - we have appreciated your incredible support!  Our inaugural holiday season was so wonderful and busy and it was great to meet so many new people.  Now that the holidays have passed we are enjoying the chance to get caught up, restocked and work on some exciting new projects!  We're also excited to get back to blogging, so look for more updates, soon.  In the meantime, check out this blog post which includes us:  Twelve Young Versions of Twenty-Ten.

Store Photos

Here are a couple photos of the shop from our first week:

Stop in for holiday shopping!  Through December we're open on Sundays, too (11-7).

GRAND OPENING!

We're thrilled to announce that we're opening this Friday!  Join us to celebrate from 6-11pm at the store for our grand opening gala!  The store is located at 460 W. Canfield St (between Cass and Second).  Beginning Saturday 11/14, we'll be open every Tuesday-Saturday 11-7.

Store Progress!

We hung these letters in the window last night:

Our dad installed these shallow shelves to display prints:

Andy and Matt were working on the ceiling in this one and you can see our new lights, too:

Things are coming together!

I love this new website promoting shopping in Detroit. What an awesome idea - check it out and add your latest local purchase!

Store Progress Update!

We've been working really hard these past few weeks and have made great progress in the store -  we're getting so excited about opening!  In addition to finishing up the painting, moving in our studio, and taking care of a bunch of legal/paperwork business, we have been continuing to acquire and build fixtures and have begun receiving work from artists and designers!  In the next week we're going to post some photos of some of the amazing things that we have received recently (which will be for sale so soon when we open!).  In the meantime, though, we wanted to post a couple progress photos of how things are coming together.   In the photo above, our kind pals Jon, Matt and Greg (of Leopold's Books) are putting the finishing touches on some shelving.  That white shelving will be on one wall, and the rest of the shop will have mainly vintage fixtures.  These steamer trunks are so great - we're trying to decide what to display on and in them:

We're also looking for the perfect spot for this "best sellers" rack and the school chalkboard behind it:

 

This weekend we'll be working on the lighting and picking up a few more fixtures.   We'll post more photos soon!
