In Business

by mssinglemama on January 26, 2010

The before…

Slightly frazzled but exhilarated adults, fueled by caffeine, adrenaline and the dream of finally realizing a dream

_MG_5874

Children ready for bed

_MG_5885

and enthralled by a secret or two

_MG_5892

The furniture – a mish-mash of vintage Craigslist chairs and Ikea treasures, ready and waiting

_MG_5901

to be cleaned

_MG_5906

scrubbed

_MG_5916

and tightened.

And then the after…

_MG_5935

When, thanks to my Mother’s brilliance, everything

_MG_5943

came

_MG_5963

together


_MG_5966

and stood the test of the morning light

_MG_6049

more than enough to have the perfect meeting with my new and first client.

So we could relax after and unwind, but only for a moment

_MG_6029

Because this is just the beginning of what our little meeting room will see

_MG_6045

This small business brought to you by my Mom (the decorator and Craigslist maven), Ikea, Brad, John, Mia, you – my blog readers –  and our first client, Lifeline of Ohio. Find out more about Lifeline and Cement Marketing’s task for the organization soon. One hint – the makeover of their Website  and social media plan will make this office facelift seem like nothing.

So, what do you think of the office? We still have to bring in the plant life, the books, etc. But we love the space. And behind this meeting room is our office with three perfect desks and big, bright windows. More pictures soon – after we get settled.

AWESOME!!!!
Love it!!!!!!!!!
I love to decorate so waiting to see the space was as exciting to me as the announcement itself.
Also, over the years my mother has become my father’s “right hand man” as he runs his business out of their home. They don’t work 24/7 together but A LOT and they love it. You guys will be great!!

Looks fantastic! Can’t wait to see more/ I’ve been reading for awhile – and just have to say that this is a very exciting update.

My husband & I recently moved / as a result we are now both working full time from home. While that wasn’t always part of the plan – we share an office space and at first thought we asked the same thing… are we really going to do this?? And we have. And it’s awesome! Lunch with the one you love kicks arse. Funny thing? We don’t talk more or less working together … when you need to focus you do and when you need to laugh you do!

Good luck with everything!

Glad you all love it as much as we do. These pictures don’t quite capture the spirit of the place. High ceilings original woodwork. Now, just need to find a white shag carpet and we’ll be all set.
