So it doesn't look like much NOW but I have a vision. Maddycakes is opening a party location!This store is located in Historic Glendale. The home is listed in the National Register of Historic Homes. I love this area so much. Historic Glendale is full of unique, eclectic shops and has such a sense of community and charm. Those who know me know I LOVE OLD homes and fixing them up!! SO this is right up my alley! I have been eyeing this area for over a year now and after much prayer and talking with the wonderful store owners of this great community; I have decided to take the plunge of store ownership. I obviously have a lot of work to do to make it mine but I'm ready for the challenge. I would love to share the updates .... if you would like to see??? First things first...getting rid of that blue....any color suggestions??
I have a bunch of fabulous real parties in my inbox just waiting for me to post so I will be posting them starting tomorrow.
Your dreams come true when you act to turn them into realities.
So exciting! What is your vision for the place? A whimsical setting for tea parties? Classy styling for any party? Bold and fun? I'm thinking if it were my home, I would choose a different color than if it were a party place.
ReplyDeleteI love that old part of Glendale, too! We aren't too ridiculously far away from there. I'll have to come check out your business sometime!
how exciting!!! I think you are going to do amazing! I am always a fan of neutral so you can do lots accessory changes throughout the life span - so I know some with gasp, but I say tan! Then do a fantastic sign that won't have to compete with a strong color!

Michelle, that is great news!! That has been one of my dreams since I started this party business, also, so I can live vicariously through you now! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see how you fix it up!
So happy for you!
Wow, so happy for you!! I can picture this house a tan or beige color. With the shutters painted black and window boxes, dripping with flowers. The yard looks like it could handle the English Garden look. A red door to draw people to the front door. :) Love the house, so many possibilities!!
ReplyDeleteMichelle...I am so excited to for you! That is awesome and I am sure it will be a big success!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I'm so excited for you. I know what ever you do, It will be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations how exciting!! I know your going to have so much fun making this place your own!So happy for you:)
ReplyDeleteSO SUPER EXCITING!! Have you named the party pad yet? Have you come up with a logo or brand for your new business? I would coordinate the house colors with your "logo" so everything is consistent. I would paint the door, trim, shutters, & body of the house in fun colors. Are you adding any architectural details? I can not wait to see what your plans are! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!!!!!!!! this is the most phenominal idea!! I can NOT wait to see!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow congratulations!! I don't normally comment, but I read each post, this is a great development. I'd love to see progress pics!
ReplyDeletePink! Make it pink! lol Well, not an outrageous sort of pink, but something soft. Maybe almost white, but still pink. With a red door. Oh, and definitely some new vegetation.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You're going to do great.
so exciting..congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I can so see you putting your special touches on this...stylish awnings over the windows, bistro tables to the left and/or right of the entryway...a beautifully scripted "Maddycakes" sign arching over the doorway...window boxes adorning the windows. PLEASE keep us updated -- it's going to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Can you really be any more fabulous??

ReplyDeleteSeriously Ladies....you all really made my day. You are all so kind to take out time to say congrats. I truly cherish each comment...I've read them over and over today!! I am excited about this venture but also scared so your kind words have encouraged me and confirmed my belief in myself to leap out on faith!
ReplyDeleteSo many blessings to you all! What a wonderful thing sisterhood is!
Congratulations Michelle. I love this area too! For some reason yellow strikes me as a happy and charming color, but white is a classic you just can't go wrong with. I can't wait to see your updates on this exciting project!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on living your dream! I look forward to reading about your [inspiring] progress!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Good luck! Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! What a great project, I look forward to your house diy posts.
ReplyDeleteOh how your magic wand must be twitching :) The storefront is a yummy start to fairy tale and one can surely see the possibilities! Butter cream yellow filling is my favorite color :)Enjoy this new venture!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!That is soooo wonderful. I can see a yellow with some multicolored (pastel) awning,something to put you in the mind of a mini-castle. Or if not that extreme go with a pastel color. Pastels always seem to refresh my spirit.
