I know right that sounds like I wish I could put into words like what it means like that I'm thinking like what I want to see in my house that I think would be cool for other people to put in theirs so yeah yeah Like a ding dong. And this is all for, what do you put in these items? I'm putting these in my showroom so people have a reference to purchase some small items from me as well as furniture pieces. Because I'm into home decor. That's awesome.
And hopefully you are too. So what is some of the work that you've done with your showroom so far? So far I have made some really cool cutting boards that I'm liking a lot. I have made a Lazy Susan that I'm super excited that it came out. good because it was I was worried about the mechanism of it but it looks good so I'm gonna have to make some more of those I got a laser engraver to put some of my to make it easier for me to put my logo on the brand some items items brand my items and I have just kind of hooked up the showroom to look like a storefront if you will but also more of like a a real showroom so you can see furniture pieces as well as items that you can buy that are part of the home decor line yeah that makes sense I hope that is hecka cool you got a home decor line I know right that sounds like I I wish I could put into words like what it means like that I'm thinking like what I want to see in my house that I think would be cool for other people to put in theirs so yeah No.
That was good. That was like, oh, this is cheap. I'll grab it.
But you're speaking up. I can't. What we doing Deandra? We are getting ready to put my logo on this cutting board. This here cutting board.
You know what kind of wood this is? Limited. It's actually maple and walnut. It's a bit dry because it's dry. But all we gotta do is oil that baby up and we're good to go.
But let's go put my logo on. Yes? Yes. Thanks.
Let's get into the house. Careful! Alright, go! This is the tip!
Looking at a laser engraver just to put my logo on my items before they left. And then as I started getting into it more, I realized all of the things that it could do. And it made me want to do it again.
to try out other things. So I have some ideas. Well, not coming, but I have some ideas about some fun things that I'm going to be having in my shop because this machine is make me think outside the box of what I originally bought it for.
And I bought a smaller engraver just to be able to do stuff like this. And then I realized that I could do so much more with a more sophisticated machine. and looked into it and I am blown away by the creative ideas that have come into my brain to make some stuff.
So yeah, some fun stuff is coming. I'm excited to share that with you. I'm coming back. You're gonna tell me about a frame.
Like, yo, stay in the chair! Or yo, what's it called? Isn't that a signature? It's your... Branding.
Well, it would be a sign... I'm just like, tunic boy. She's like, I watch, he shall be named!
How does it do that? You know, I couldn't tell you. I just know the laser burns it into there. And it makes it look... Great.
But yeah, it's like a... I don't know if I gave you any information. like a ding-dong and this is all for what are you putting these items I'm putting these in my showroom so people have a reference to purchase some small items from me as well as so what we got going the others okay so we get ready to make this beautiful or should I say beautiful I like to say.
And my daughter here, too. Okay, so we are going to make this a showroom slash shopping room slash. I sang the whole thing first. Homie setting.
When you come in, you're like. Ooh, this is mine! I spaced on that part. So.
What kind of wood is that? Your favorite! My favorite? The one? No!
Poplar? Yes! I was like, you change that on me every single time.
Ash. No. It's popular.
It is pop-lar. Yeah, it's like, it's funny, Aaron knew the name of it too, and would go back and forth with it, and I'm like... Yes, that's it!
He's like, I know. I'm like, but you don't because you don't remember. And what's this process you're doing now?
I'm taping off the corners to get a crisp, straight line so when I stain it'll be all uniform. So... My friend Bree, who's an awesome interior designer, decorator, all that good stuff. She painted this for me for my shop. Isn't it lovely?
She's amazing. She also helped me pick out the pillows and the rope. She also helped design the space so it can look, you know, beautiful.
What do we got here, Deanna? Okay, so this is our, well, this is going to be my merch shelf of a lot of the items that I will be having for Holiday Line. You know, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up, and people are going to want stuff to showcase their turkeys, their desserts, and just cute things for Christmas. So I have, you know, cute little boards that you can have engraved with whatever name or design you want on here.
I have... I have some little trinkets that are cute for those who enjoy having recipes on their boards. I also have this lovely Santa.
I thought this was the cutest little board here that you can have for Christmas. You know, because like I said, that's coming up tomorrow, right? We know how fast time flies, right?
So here we go with our little Santa engraved. So yeah. And look at this one. Look at me. A little lazy Susan.
Woo! that you could also have designed with your family name or whatever household person you want to get fit to also okay what's your plan for this space okay so now that the showroom is done and looking all gorgeous and stuff my sanctuary is next and this is where you get to see my office come together in a way that would be i guess design friendly but also not necessarily design friendly but like builder friendly you could see me make my desk and add all the beautiful stuff that goes along with designing an office for videos and customers coming in for consults and stuff like that so stay tuned for this
