Recently, I worked at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City for the International Auto Show with the George P. Johnson Company. I merchandised the display cases for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat brands. The Fiat 500 is on my list of favorite new cars. I suppose it wouldn't be too practical as my main work vehicle; lugging all my tools and supplies in it but otherwise it's definitely a perfect little car. I had a great time setting that display case with all the fun Fiat merchandise. This was the last major Auto Show until next season...I look forward to working with George P. Johnson in the near future.

Getting Giannetti Home ready for Spring

Recently I did a merchandising refresh in preparation for Spring at my client's shop Giannetti Home. As you may have read from previous blog posts Brooke Giannetti (my client) is an Interior Designer. Herself and her husband Steve (Architect) are based out of there showroom on San Vicente blvd in Brentwood, CA. I frequently do merchandise change outs and floor moves to create different atmospheres in their shop. To highlight all of Brooke's new inventory of pottery I created a window and front entrance display to give their shop a garden feel for Spring. Check out Brooke's post about her new display on her blog Velvet and Linen
