NEW STUDIO/SHOWROOM…. 545 ATHOL AVENUE OAKLAND CALIFORNIA 94606

March 24th, 2010

We are VERY excited about the new studio. After a full month of planning, painting, laying flooring, decorating, and moving… we are putting the finishing touches on this our most beautiful space yet!

When we moved in the place was a bit of a cave!beginning1

We worked tirelessly painting the walls and ceilings… and laying the flooring!

Walls painted and the flooring in progress...

ANGELS!!!!   Coming to work at the studio after their long work days! Here they are creating custom bent curtain rods for the front window curtains.

We had tonnes of fun! Tools became toys.. as we listened to music and got DIRTY… transforming a cave into a pearl den!

Late night construction turns tough!

Little by little the vision has taken shape..taking shape3We have some amazing neighbors here in this little district of artists: a freelance photographer, a potter (Whitney Smith), a day spa..The Magestic Day Spa (I am personally very excited about that!), and just next door will be a fine art gallery and cafe!

If you find yourself in the neighborhood (just a couple blocks from Lake Merrit, and the Lakeshore Avenue Shopping District, please feel free to stop by, I look forward to showing you what we do and how we do it. We will have plenty of interesting people and pearls to make you smile!smiles all around
