Yes! … our Studio Grand-Opening in the Semple Mansion was super lovely and we are so blessed that so many of you came out to celebrate with us!
I am still doing a bit of recovery… taking care of client appointments and design projects that were scheduled after our crazy week last week, BUT…
I promise to have some wonderful photos and sneak peeks of our studio for you real soon!
Alicia and I just want to thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for your lovely support!
Be back soon…

Hello All…
Just wanted to send a quick note off to all of you… our studio opening is upon us! As I write, the finishing touches are being made and the final lists being crossed off… for tomorrow is our Grand Opening. Alicia Danzig of Lulu Painting and I will officially be studio mates!
There have been a ton of set-backs….one step forward and two behind in some cases, but we have perservered and made it to this day. Our special color and design playhouse is almost ready! Of course as time goes on, we will keep evolving it, but for now…. we invite you to put on your party shoes and join us tomorrow (Thursday, April 28th) at the Semple Mansion from 7-9 pm, for the event.
Please grab a friend (or someone who is really fun) and head on over for some delicious drinks and happy desserts. We’ll be looking for you. Oh, and don’t forget… we’re even giving away some wonderful prizes too! See you then!

It’s a Grand-Opening Celebration!
Yes… in only 2 weeks… we will be celebrating our new studio space! Please join me at the opening of our new Studio Space that I’ll be sharing with Alicia Danzig of Lulu Painting.
Yes, it is the final rush of completing our colorful little studio and filling it with lovely things in time for a party to take place! There is still so much to be done. In amongst painting, designing and taking care of our clients, we are also planning the final details for the delightful evening we have in store for you!
The event will be held from 7-9 pm with optional preview shopping from 6-7pm. Enjoy a tour of the Semple Mansion and it’s other wonderful businesses, music, happy drinks, special desserts, toasts and giveaways! (We’re giving away lots of lovely things… services, self-care, jewelry, special treats.)
There is free parking located across the street from the Semple in the Park Nicollet parking lot. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at; erica@yourstyleredesigned.com or call me at: 763-441-6950.
So, please come, bring a friend, tour, mingle, shop, eat and celebrate with us in our Opening Gala!

Today’s post will feature just a few more photos of our studio space in progress…

This photo isn’t too inspiring, but it does show progress… the walls have been coated in a first layer of paint, the storage items have been removed and have been replaced with construction supplies and a few design elements.

Those nasty old pipes are slowly being hidden in a wall that will support a storage closet and a sink area.

This photo shows a peek at one of the crowning elements of our space… a curved banquette!
We can NOT wait for this piece to be finished. The fabrics we chose to upholster it with became the inspiration for the entire studio…

This view shows you a bit about our color direction! Yes, we used House Beautiful‘s color issue to assist us with our color choices. (At least for now… our studio colors and decor will transform on a routine basis) We custom matched our pink wall to a pink chair we found on the front of the Color Issue. We will also add a few other surprising pink elements to the space as well!
Well, that’s it for today’s update. I won’t have another progress update for a bit- we’re doing some more painting tomorrow! Wait until you see Alicia’s (Lulu Painting) fantastic work on the floor! However, the next post will let you in on our Opening Gala plans! We can’t wait to invite you down to share in our Grand Opening, so get ready to mark your calendars and join us in celebration! More on that next time…

Hello All!
This news has been in the works since the end of November and I am finally a chance to blog and share the news with you! There is still much in the works and more will be shared as the journey progresses, but I wanted to let you all know the News…
The lease has been signed….
The plans have been done….
Remodeling is underway…. 
Yes… it’s a NEW studio space!
I will be opening up an additional studio space with the talented and energetic Alicia Danzig from Lulu Painting! Our new studio space will be housed in the lower-level of the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis. We are excited to be a part of the close-knit group of businesses in the space. We will each still retain our individual businesses, but we will be sharing space and creative projects with each other. We will each continue to offer our current services, but we will be able to expand our offerings with this new space too!
Some of the exciting things planned for the coming year…
Decorating Workshops: Full Day Retreat-Style Hands-on Workshops for a Small Groups
Boutique Shopping: Vintage, Found, & Custom Pieces Created by Alicia and I
Events & Open Houses: Parties, Invitation-Only Shopping Events & other Special Events
We still have much to do… we are officially in the space, but since it is completely bare-bones and requires major renovation to make it the fantastic workspace & creative studio that we desire it to be. So… we are inviting you along for the journey of transformation!
We will be posting photos of the dungeon-like space as we got it and will give renovation and progress updates as the space takes shape. We hope to be in the space sometime in March and will plan a Grand Opening Event for late spring.
Please subscribe for RRS feeds or email updates if you’d like to follow the progress. We will also be offering some special give-a-ways as the Grand Opening nears.
That’s it for now…
In the coming days, I will post BEFORE photos, current construction, and even the name of the studio!
Thanks for sharing in this latest creative journey with us!
