more on valentine’s day…

Had a really fantastic Valentine’s Day this year. Not only did I actually make these whoopie pies, I got to have lunch with both of my sweethearts, a bouquet of flowers were unexpectedly given to me by Eric AND a hidden Valentine for nido was found on our bookshelf. Feelin’ the LOVE this year!

small change makes a big statement

Hi there,

Rochelle (aka nido newbie) here with a fun little face lift you may have noticed in the shop!

Before the makeover, our little chair featured a natural linen seat and high gloss black paint. It’s pretty, but Phiona thought it could use a classy punch…

We kept the black, but went for a matte finish instead of high gloss.

Due to our lack of industrial stapler, we had to get resourceful and bust out the hot glue gun. Not ideal, (unless you’re willing to make a hot mess) but it got the job done!

Beautiful! The new featured fabric is organic hemp, hand screened in Australia by designer Pippijoe. The entire project cost around $40 dollars and can be completed in a day. What a difference! Many customers have already admired the new look, and I have to say I admire it as well. …though I may have a bit of a biased opinion.

Thanks for taking a look!
Rochelle
