The Mini ONH Photo Studio

It has been a minute! But I am not embarrassed, not in the slightest. As anyone can guess, my life is VERY full and busy. Dave and I have two small kids (6 and 3) and of course, this other baby, Old New House, to happily tend to constantly. Amidst all of the craziness of the daily and weekly hustle, we are growing and expanding. I yearn to write and talk about this growth and expansion constantly, but the truth is when your plate is overflowing, you don't talk about it, you eat up to keep up!

 If you follow us on Instagram, you may already know about it but we recently acquired what technically is a third location for us. It is tiny and our other two locations serve very specific purposes (and at many times multi-purposes like our flagship store that is also our office and where we do most of the behind the scenes web work - this will likely change soon too though). So this third location, while not a huge storefront in Brooklyn, it is still a huge milestone for us! I call it the little shed that could, but it is really the mini ONH photo studio, designed specifically to do what our full size barn studio does on a smaller scale - to store many of our rugs but also have the ability to photograph them within it. It is right near our barn studio AND our flagship store, if you were wondering how we manage these spots. We call it "the triangle". I guess we like naming things?

First, just one "before" picture and then the photos of what it looks like now! Very happy with it and beyond thrilled to have some extra photo ops for our rugs!

Such a huge shout out to our amazing employee AJ for working hard on this space and our friend Joe for coming in to do a lot of the painting - these two guys made the vision come to life for sure. And while this will mainly be a storage location, why not have it be a nice to look at one?!

Need a rug photographed against a dark floor instead of natural wood color? Just ask! We can now do this! And boy oh boy, do I love my dark floors. We have to get back to the kids and to the next week's new arrivals photo session but wishing you all the happiest of holidays and thanks as always for following along!

xoxo,

Melissa and Dave
