Only at Bella Blvd do we get up and move to a new office/home less than a month before a trade-show! Ha ha, it's all the more reason to get everything done on time! We've been working around the clock sanding, painting, putting furniture together, changing things and cleaning. This week the office has really changed in comparison to the first day we walked in it. Here are some quick snapshots.
This is a "before shot." Before the walls were torn down and the carpet tore out.
Preparing to lay the new wood flooring.
Almost finished...
And last night we painted and the finishing touches are being put on today. I'll take more pictures to share with you soon!
ha - here's a self portrait I took while teaching Bella classes in Brazil. It took more than 10 tries, but I love how this one turned out! So much has changed since then already. Look how well-rested and put together I look :) It's been a few weeks of gym shorts, sweat and physical labor! It will all be worth it in the end, but I can't help but wait until I can do my hair again without getting drywall dust or paint specks in it!
In other news.....
I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW YOU THE NEW PRODUCT RELEASE FOR CHA SUMMER!! I'm in love with the bright colors and spunky-ness! Designing new collections and seeing them come to life is seriously one of my favorite things in the whole wide world! Bella also has new products too (in addition to the patterend papers and stickers!)! The Artistas have been creating layouts and projects for the CHA booth, (I even got to scrap time in too!) and let me tell ya - you're going to be inspired! Bella will begin it's sneak peeks later this month right here on the blog! Stay tuned!
Back to the grind....
Coming back to check on those new CHA Lines.. can't wait to see... :)!!!
