We went to IKEA yesterday and found some really great lights for our art department/graphics area. We went to pick them up and they only had 3 of them and we needed 12. So we talked to someone that worked there and he said to call today and ask them...

This morning we locked the design and colors for the Creative Lab floor. Who knew it would be that complicated. Anyway, it's done and most people agreed with the final results. It will definitely be a different look from the rest of the building. We went out today and looked...

Yesterday we finalized paint colors. After Friday I wasn't sure we were going to get there but we did. And thankfully, there's very little gray in the new paint colors. I'm excited to see how it turns out, I think the final colors are great. We showed up today and...

Before the holidays we sent out a survey to the entire staff to find out what they liked and disliked about our current building and what they hoped we could do and not do in the new building. There were a few overwhelming requests that came from the surveys, one...

Today started with a phone call with the Orlando Business Journal. They are doing an article on our move. The article will be in this Friday's print edition of the OBJ.We believe we have finalized our flooring plans. After a bit of back & fourth and the usual give &...

We had a staff meeting today. We gave an update on where everything is with the new home. Mary Anne presented where we are with the flooring. Most people seemed pleased with the choices and color palate, some were not as enthusiastic. I guess we can't please everyone. It's hard...

It's so easy to talk about what you're going to spend money on but it's another to actually start doing it. We have finalized our budget for the build out and while we're still working out some of the details, getting the people in to reset the raised floor and...

David's meeting with a painter this morning. Who knew there were so many decisions to make BEFORE we even pick a color. Do we paint the wallpaper? Do we need to take the wallpaper off first? If we paint the wallpaper do we use a oil or water based primer?...
