Located on the second floor of 200 Steele, our new showroom instantly felt like home. (maybe because we are now in the same building as Highland House and Hancock & Moore). This market we called the showroom our Blank Canvas because it was in fact, a blank canvas. With a more open floor plan and brand new product, our team was given the liberty to start fresh and paint the town red! (not literally, but we did use some Benjamin Moore Century paint colors on our walls).
Exciting and a little nerve wrecking (we did not have furniture in the space two weeks before opening day), but our team made it happen and boy, did we put on a show.
Our annual market party was named "Blank Canvas Party", where new friends and old friends helped us celebrate our new home. We had a jazz band, a local artist come in and show off her talent, food served on paint pallets, and a photographer capture the evening. What a night we had!
On Monday evening, we hosted a flower arranging demonstration with Thomas O'Brien. We watched him arrange beautiful flowers from New York and listen to him talk about different types of flowers while sitting in his garden room. Did you know that before you purchase your flowers from a florist, they go through a flower auction?
And in the blink of an eye, #hpmkt was over. We want to thank everyone that played a special part in making our grand opening successful.
What do we have in store for next market? Well, you will just have to wait and see.
