Okay, so I am having a dilemma. I found these cool acrylic folding chairs at TJ Max for $60 each, but I already have wooden folding chairs that are going unused. Only this is, the wooden ones are not super cool acrylic or PINK!

Here they are side by side with the new TJ Max table and my reminder to LAUGH! from my friend Tracy.  Dan says he likes the pink chairs but that I don't need them. But they are SO cool!

More office furnishings I have bought this week:
Couch that is made of down and is going to have super cool pillows made of Mimi Green fabric.
The shelves look like this. Everyone says they will be prettier when they have beautiful fabrics stacked on them. 

Other than that, we got a sweet Cuisnart coffee maker.  Still looking for a fridge and a tiny microwave. I am having a lot of fun decorating, although I must admit it is a bit stressful. I just want the new studio to be so perfect! 

The next 10 days are going to be R-E-A-L-L-Y long 😉

We got a place! And I am in love with it.  It is right outside of Nob Hill, right by a freeway entrance/exit, and 1/2 a mile from a drive thru Starbucks.  (I took these photos with my iPhone, so they kinda stink, but you will get the idea;)

I am nuts about the checkerboard floor and the built in desk/office for me.

Also, it has refrigerated air, which in New Mexico, is a huge blessing!

And I really love that we can see the Sandia Mountains from our front window.

And look, there is a window box for pretty flowers!

The building is cute too, we are the middle one with no sign yet. But I ordered a really awesome one and cannot wait to get it in the window.

It is 2.5 times bigger than the current Mimi Green studio (it is hard to tell from the photos), so we will finally have room to walk! Plus the prep table won’t have to double as the shipping table and my desk won’t be in my dining room! Yahoo!

The new place is just one mile from our house so Dan and I can ride our bikes in the morning. I am so excited, my head could explode! We move in on Feb. 15, what a cool Valentines present, right?

Mimi Green has grown so much in the past year that it is time to get a bigger space. I have been so reluctant and until yesterday I hadn’t seen a building that I liked as much as our current studio.

Then I saw this listing on Craigslist — a space in Albuquerque’s historic Cal-Linn Building — the very building where Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft in 1975!

Right now it is a beautiful gallery called Arthaus 66, the current owners have done a fabulous job. The track lighting is great, the floors are stained concrete, and no detail has been overlooked.

And I can finally have my own office through that red door — can you imagine?!? And maybe I can channel  Bill Gates and turn Mimi Green into a super company 😉

The only problem is that I need to find $84 K or somehow convince the current owner to rent to us. I will keep you posted on what happens, today I talked to the Realtor 4 times so hopefully we will know by weeks end.

So send positive thoughts our way. We need a fabulous building to make fabulous collars and leashes in and I really think this is the one for us!
