The Hatchery......our place in the community

Some ideas of Adjacency, Order , and Composition. Ideally I would like to see the retail space go beyond the normal walled system and/ or spill out into a exhibition style space. Where consumers get the feeling of picking directly from floor samples. The Collaboration and Exhibition space would be much more intimate and the space would be located on the second level.Storage space would be needed for at least two areas and should be connected if not physically then hidden. Other basic necessities like e.g. restrooms would be found on both areas but location is not specified preferably hidden as well.

Displays for Tables and Cash Wrap

Please feel free to comment, we will still have display pieces that speak to the select concept and those are being collected as we speak. These items are those that are in full color as to not be to stark with all white and pieces of red. All ideas are based on the Salvation Army and its programs.

My Weekend: Inspiration?

I spent most of my weekend about 18 hours painting my workplace. The kitchen was my top priority. It was all white and everything looked very blank. I added a dark blue color to the chair rail that was already present and we painted a few other things blue. My weekend reminded me of Urban studio on Steroids. Needless to say I was drained and I don't want to see another paint brush again.

A Step in the Right Direction

So far we have made quite a few contacts in the last two day, receiving donations form Gail's too on Spring Garden in Greensboro, and well as Platos Closetand many more to come. The donations are really gonna help us in setting the standard for the type of things that will be made available to and in the Select store. The Idea of the Red Shoe Installations is taking off with many consignment shops donating to our cause. I believe that the efforts being made here will not only benefit the Salvation Army but the idea that recycling unwanted or no longer needed goods as a Positive Green Effort and Thrift Stires are a large avenue for this. The community is really eager to help and we look forward to having the Shoe installations that we create make a statment for the Salvation Army Select Store.
