Painting and Staining Wood

A large part of display is repurposing and prep work. These two tables were different stains and paint colors. The bottom base is an old coat stand that the Display Coordinator who I worked with, Kenny Hogan, cut apart and drilled to the top to create a brand new table. It was my job to a stain that would match the already finished base.





Another large part of display is problem solving and changing the plan. Originally this table was stained to match the taller table, but we had to change the color to enhance the color story of the room and concept. 


The table in place and finished:


Another last minute change, altering shelving colors to enhance the color story. These fabric shelves were a cream color and we had to paint them black. 



Oversized Paper Flowers

This was my second display that I completed by myself. I did not create the center, but I attached all of the petals and finished the composition of the petals and the floor direction.







Lounge Windows - Final Compositions

Because the hangers were being reused from an old main window display, my main focus was to change the shape and composition of the material.


I was required to find an appropriate composition as well as a way to fix one hanger to another.


Final Compositions of the three lounge windows:



Lounge Windows - Day 1

I did not expect so much responsibility. I asked for it, to be more involved with installations and the actual creation of the final displays. But I did not expect it on the first day. I walked in to the store and the Visual Manager said, "Alright, we're giving you a whole display to do by yourself, starting today. Bet you didn't expect that, did you?" So off I went.



First I had to create the shapes I wanted, then I would install.
