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!

You’re All Invited!
Posted by: | CommentsIt’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!
Before Photos of the New Studio!
Posted by: | CommentsOkay, I thought I better share some of what is going on in our space!
Progress has been slower than we desire in the remodel and construction of our new studio space, but none-the-less, it is finally moving along! We are a bit further than these photos will show now, but I will give another update soon, as things are changing every day around here.
To start off with… this space was awful when we signed the lease…. a dark, dirty storage room in the lower level of the mansion that had not been rented out before. We knew it had potential for our first joint studio space… so we plunged ahead anyway!
Here is what we found….
Just to let you know… none of the stuff in the space was ours at this point, so it the cleaning staff had to remove all the items stored there before we could even get to the next step.
Oh, these pipes… they have been quite the challenge. We have chosen to ignore the ones on the ceiling (as most other tenants on our level have) but the ones coming down the wall are being encased in a wall for the most part.
The joy of old buildings!
Okay… this is a small hint as to what is to come for the space. We used some inspiration from this House Beautiful issue to add some design and style to our space. To transform this space we will definitely be pulling all of our design tricks out. Decorating with paint and color will be the most transforming elements. In the next post… I will let you in a bit more on what that inspiration direction is!
That’s all for today… thanks for stopping by!
Exciting News to Share!
Posted by: | CommentsHello 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!
