Design Revolution

Week 3, Home on a Wednesday

I only work 2 days a week.  That gives my children 5 days a week to be sick.  They love Wednesdays!  In my opinion, here is the issue...I can clean my house and de-contaminate it, but then they go back to school.  Germ pool!  I know of 4 kids that have gone home from school with the pukes, just this week.  I swear my home is clean...well, from germs anyway.  Very dusty, but not germy.  I'm refinishing a dining room set, so there is layer of dust on everything in my home right now.  Note to self, do your sanding OUTSIDE!  If I love how the furniture turns out, I'll share a pic.  If I don't love it, you will never see my mess :).  Lesley is sick also, so Lisa is holding down the fort at Design Revolution.  I'm afraid Julie thinks Lesley and I are out shopping (this is the second Wednesday that we have both been gone).  Oh yeah,  and if you are picturing me at home blogging, not as many zits.  I broke down last night and had a little sampling of yummies from The Melting Pot.  Again... I'm only human. 

Back to why you're here.  Design Revolution!  Lesley is in the process of designing a booth for Imaging.  She is so creative and it is going to be beautiful!  Those of you going to Imaging are in for a real treat. We are trying to top our gorgeous booth from last year, so we are going for bigger and better.  We will have goodies that are not listed on our website,  some one-of-a-knd finds and lots of fun items from our website.  Imaging is a great place for us to introduce new items.  Sometimes we sell out before we can even get them on the site.  Maybe we should bring our new doors!  I'll have to discuss that with Lelsey.  Those of you from Texas could save on shipping!  (Have I mentioned I love saving? :)  )  I'll give you guys the inside scoop (and a few pics) of what things will be there.  By the way, Imaging is not until January, but prep starts early. Here is the link for it:

The Rooti Tooti is back!  We accepted pre-orders, but call us and we can take your name in case there are extras  913-783-4613.

 

Design Revolution Has a New Door!

I'm working from home!  This is the second week in a row that I have had to work from home because of a sick child.  Isn't it a little early for sick?!  Anyway, I wanted you to be able to picture me grubby with sweats and a t-shirt blogging away while my sick child is playing with beads at the kitchen table (acting not so sick).  While you are picturing me, picture zits.  I'm over it...37 should not equal acne.  I'm convinced it is my punishment for inhaling cookies from J Klaasmeyer (I blame Sydney for cooking them).  When you walk in Julie's studio, the smell of freshly baked cookies wraps you with a warm, happy feeling.  I fall for it and scarf every time.  I do mean scarf...I'm a vigorous eater.  I know the cookies are for her clients, but I'm only  human!

Back to Design Revolution!  We have new doors.  You can buy one for $290 or 2 for $550.  The shipping is where it gets tricky.  We want to be able to offer the best shipping rates possible, but these doors are heavy.  You have to call us to get a separate shipping quote (shipping will be billed separate).  We will only charge what UPS charges us.  As you can see by the pictures below.  It is worth it.  They are beautiful.  We also have another color that we do not have a picture of yet.  I'll give you the insiders info on the color.  Check out my post "A Few Little Cuties".  The blue/aqua chair in the pictures...that is the same color as the doors.  Beautiful!  Call us if you want that color before it gets put on the website. 

 
By the way,  the Ridiculous Darling holiday colors are on sale.  (Silver Belle, Sugar Plum, and Ridiculous Darling-Nutmeg)  Regularly $195.  On sale for $156!  Silver Belle is my favorite.  It doesn't hurt that the little darling in the picture is mine!  Here she is!

 

Naming Contest

 
My fellow bloggers, we are having a contest this weekend!  We have an adorable hat that needs a name.  Check us out on facebook to submit a name.  If we choose your idea, we will send you the hat for free!  Here is a picture of it.  I just love it!

All Alone!

I'm so sad.  I came on this morning hoping to have comments back about what kinds of things you guys want to see in a set collection.  Nothing.  Crickets. 

Hopefully this will get a buzz my blog friends...newborn beds on sale!  I have decided on a price of $225.  They are normally $295 so I feel like this is a good number.  Hopefully Lesley doesn't kill me.  Hee hee!  Call me if you would like to order one   913-783-4613

 
 
 

A few litte cuties!

It is not very often that I refer to a chair as "cute" (oops, there I go again with the " "), but these chairs really are!  Here are a few pictures that Julie took:

See what I mean?  Too cute!  I'll get them on the Design Revolution website tomorrow.  :)

Another GREAT buy!

We are running another promotion!  We are so excited about this one!  6 items mix and match for $175.00!  You can get different colors, different hats, tutus or rompers.  If you look on our website, the poncho is used on a 12 year old girl and a newborn baby.  Julie used a poncho as a wrap because the mom loved the colors so much.  Turned out darling!  The scarf could be used in the same way...tie, hang, wrap.  It is sooo soft also!  Some scarf sets are really great for photographs, but not something a child wants to have on for a long time.  This set is super soft.  If a toddler will wear it for long periods of time, you know if feels good! 

We are currently in the process of designing an entire set around these poncho sets.  We just love the colors and how many ways they can be used!  If we designed a set, what kinds of things would you like to see in it and what kind of price point would peek your interest  (please be realistic ;)  )?  Talk to me, I have the owner's ear!

Come look at our new facebook collection!

We have added a line of headbands to our facebook page.  The month of October we had Wacky Wednesday Group Buy.  But for November we wanted to do something different.  I feel like we needed to offer some items that were for the "Frugal Photographer".  I say this with much love.  I would very much describe myself as frugal and Lisa (our resident designer) would say the same about herself.  So, with Lesley's blessing, we got together to come up with a few headband collections.  We wanted them to still be cute and sassy, but affordable for everyone.  Wikipedia, in part, describes frugal as "get the most they possibly can from their money".  We think these headbands are beautiful and a great price point!  If Lesley would have let me, I probably would have named them "The Frugal Facebook Collection".  It is a good thing Lesley is in charge.  Hee hee!  By the way,  does anyone think I went a little overboard on the " " today?  Me too!  Call us to order  913-783-4613
