After 6 full days of cleaning, we have moved back into our flower shop.

 

Do you think the floors were a little dirty? This photograph shows Evan and our son Riley hard at work, this was at about 9:30 in the evening on Monday night. 

 

Our always entertaining boys, took this opportunity to turn one of the potting benches into bunk beds. You can always count on Elijah and Sam for a little extra help.

 

We had piles of flower shop stuff all over the house. After days of sorting everything is back in its new space. The shop clean up was way harder than I had bargained for, and I spent two of the days with a fantastic migraine. Give me a wedding any day, this cleaning stuff is horrid. However, we now have a beautiful clean space. All props are in the new shed.  Not one cardboard box is visible in our shop ( until the flower delivery today) and we now have a pretty and functional space to work in. The pretty part was really important to me and the flower shop girls.  Evan most certainly thought making the shop pretty was insane.

 

I love this antique frame and print, I have been holding onto this for almost a year. I am so glad I got to finally hang this lovely print.

 

We have four work stations but some are big enough for several girls. Notice we still have a few problems like, this station has a drawer that always wants to be open. Annoying.

 

This is the mega work station, four women can stand at this table and we commonly do. No one wants to be away from the main table.

 

Work stations 3.

 

Station number 4.

 

Now for the pretty. I bought these white corner cupboards to soften the space around the cooler and to hold my favorite vintage vessels. I of course bought everything at On A Whim right here in Lucketts. I can always count on Mary Alice and Donna at On A Whim to help me find just the right pieces.

 

I adore this jelly cabinet I found in Mary Alice's booth. It has a ton of storage and it is perfect for my wedding magazines. It also holds a ton of milk glass.

 

I also grabbed this little blue stool. I just had to have it, it sits at the end of the big work station and will hold designs we finish or buckets of extra flowers. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this

 

I am off to DC for a consult, flowers are coming first thing this morning for our bride Libby. I can't wait to show you what we have in store for her.
