party time!

we've been busy at poole shop the past few days getting ready for our big re-launch party tonight! we've had electricians, painters and furntiure movers in and out the past few days to make the new poole shop look (and feel) like the old poole shop. if you happened to stop by the store around 5pm yesterday, here's what you would have encountered:

how many electricians does it take to hang seven tom dixon pendants? apparently five, which felt more like 500 in this small space.

a note of caution: when drilling holes in the ceiling for adding light fixtures, please make sure the merchandise is properly secured; improvise with giant garbage bags in a pinch.

voila! the after...

stay tuned for more pics as we get ready for the big night. if you're reading this, the first 25 guests at tonight's party get amazing little gift bags with goodies from lizzie fortunato, kai, and our guest of honor meredith wendell!
