Office Space

Nope not the movie (although a great movie) I'm talking my office space.  I'm lucky to live in a 3 bedroom home.  One of those rooms has become my creative office space.  It however has been a disaster area since I began The Pretty Pixie full time.  Let me share.....

This is the view from the doorway.

My desk where I paint (it has the war wounds to prove it)

computer always next to me.  Old school tv.  Near the window a folding table

with orders in process.  I usually have 6-10 toppers going at all times

under that table is my light box where I take photos and boxes that I think

are empty?

 

Step deeper in to view the desk area.  I have sticky's all over.

I need a cork board. I really need some type of shelving for my paint

It sits on the floor in a clear bin next to the desk.

Swing around and you have a view of closet. 

That's if you can get to it.  More boxes and supplies block

it's way.  The side of the closet that is closed has boxes

from floor to top full of supplies most of which I have no use for

We need a major purge in this corner.

Once a topper is done and I've photographed it I move it to an

open space on the floor to seal and get ready for shipping

Next on the wish list is an area dedicated to shipping.

Turn again and you have the last wall in the office.

An awful bookcase from our last apartment before buying our house

It is part home to our many books (thank goodness for the B&N Nook)

and finished dolls looking for a good home!  Again more boxes and supplies

sit in front of it.  Next to the tired bookcase is a filing cabinet with holding

office paper work.  It doubles as a home for the printer on top.

December will not only be a time to rest and relax after a busy year

it will also be the start of an office renovation.

I would LOVE for it to look like this...

I'll settle for any of these....

I'll be sharing the complete overhaul so stay tuned!

It is so upsetting when you get unwarranted negative feedback.  It really hurts when it's not true.  I always send pictures of completed toppers to my brides for approval before I ship them.  At this time it gives the bride a chance to say "hey your forgot this" or "hey can you do this instead?" 

I take A LOT of time and care in making my products.  I want my customers to be 100% satisfied with the item.  It upsetting when you have received an email saying "it looks great!" then have that same person turn around and leave negative feed back that isn't true.  At least give me a chance to make the correction, then if you feel I didn't do everything I could do to fix the situation then leave your honest  opinion I can take it as long as it's true.

I always do my best to make each customer satisfied.  I've been known to scrap a project and start from scratch.  I also answer all my emails maybe not that day but I do get back within 24 to 48 hours.  I'm a one woman show I don't always get it right but I also don't send anything out unless I have that email that says I love it, send away!"

Ok, I feel a little better!  Have a happy Monday everyone!

Oh and P.S -  Starting Septmeber I will be moving stuff to my new shop on Etsy The Pretty Pixie i'm trying to have everything branded the same and since you can't change etsy usernames I finally decided to open a new shop with my correct shop name.
