Branded Interiors - How to Put the Brand into the Building


Branded Interiors - How to Put the Brand into the Building
If you are looking for ways to incorporate your brand into your space here is an idea.

This is Lemonpeel Studio's blog. She is a photographer. I was looking at her site and noticed that her border is in the shape of lemons. Not overt lemons (because they are reduced so small), just general shape lemons. As I looked I thought of how cool that would be as a wallpaper in her interior. Take the general shape and repeat it for the wall. This could be done DIY in a couple of ways but that is another post.

IDEA: from wall post to wall paper

Candy Window Display - Grinch all in candy

close up of the Grinch's face..... can you tell what some of those candies are?

For about 6 years every January I would start attending meetings for Provo City's (Utah) Candy Window Displays. Even though we didn't but up the candy displays until November we started work early. There was an incredible amount of time in the conception, design and then construction of them. And is was all volunteer work. The city paid for the supplies but every little candy glued on was done for the love of it. And I did love doing it. I'm a little sick that way. My husband didn't quite feel the same way about it. I moved a couple of years ago and I heard this year that they didn't do the windows. Sad.

Here is one of the years I did - 2005. The theme was Christmas books. I choose How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the moment of the Grinch's change of heart. I won third place that year.

All the surfaces in the display are covered in candy and
it was shown in a storefront in town for a couple of months.
