This week the focus was on sealing up the exterior structure. While the team was working on that, the painters were putting the first coat of paint on the walls – and it looks so good! We (along with the designers) picked a deep teal blue for some of the walls in the reception area and in the staircase. It really pops and is making the space feel so fresh and new. We’re excited for everyone to see it in person.

In other news, there won’t be a blog post next week. But, don’t despair because there is so much happening this month!
