We were out most of the week trying to get the rest of the stuff we needed to get the back store ready for then new lingerie store. This is the new wallpaper that we are going to put on the walls. We went out to get some track lighting. It looks like we are going to use a black track since the silver or stainless steel doesn't work.
We decided to go to the dirty hippies to see what they had on hand to see if we could get any new pieces for the store. I have been taking them and sending out to Jersey. This Vietnam vet guy I know refinishes them and takes a cheap piece and makes it look like an expensive item of furniture.
She found this piece. It cost about $100 bucks. It is going in the middle of the back store.
It is the bottom one of course. We are going to refinish it to match the rest of the decor of the store. Not bright yellow like the first piece you saw. That is the showpiece and centerpiece of the store. As well as being storage.
We are going to make it black like the other pieces we got. This is the new one that Sean brought today. It is going to be great to store bras and will be a great place to put bra manikins and displays.
That new table is going to be just the ticket.

Maybe Morganna will stop by when you open. She has to be a senior citizen now.
She kissed George Brett during a game once.
Cool pieces. Befitting my vision of an upscale lingerie store, although I personally don't enjoy a black and yellow color scheme, if that's what's being envisioned. Then again, I'm in the Sixty and over category and still favor pink and red nail polish. I wish you all the best in this endeavor.
It is going to be yellow, black and grey.
It is the wife's vision and she is usually pretty good with that stuff.
We thought about pink but it seemed too clichéd.
Lingerie is clichéd. The mere word conjures up visions that as often as not don't match reality. But the younger generation definitely has different ideas about what they're looking for and want so it will be interesting to see how this all comes together.
She wouldn't have gotten as far as she has in retail without vision and sense, which is a good foundation, in addition to the rest of the garments and the personal attention, a winning combination regardless of what I think of yellow.
Well it's funny. A couple of the major Court St whores came in after they had a Baby shower in Marco Polo.
Their Aunt ordered a Premium Prima Donna Bra. If she is satisfied they will spread the word and all of the girls will come to get fitted. Plus we will have some slutty combos for all the guinea girls so they don't have to go all the way to Victoria's Secret in Kings Highway.
Lisa has a vision. Did I tell you she is going to cut the table in half?
This is getting interesting.
