gray and green

Ryan and his partner, Jereme, are in the process of getting a new company off the ground. Trailhead Labs, a business that helps people connect with nature, is currently housed in a very white, very boring, and very empty office. It was my mission to bring some interest, and more importantly color, to their new headquarters.




Our first step was painting an accent wall. We chose the color Dover Gray. 



With accent wall checked off the list, it was time to head to Ikea. The trick is to get there right when it opens on Saturday morning. That said, our goal was one hour, and we were really there for three. It always seems to take longer than I think.



Nothing easy or graceful about setting up Ikea furniture

Ryan wanted nods to nature, so we decided to bring some green into the office as a pop of color. It's not finished, but it's definitely an improvement. 





Looking forward to more hints of green, adding more natural elements, and hanging art highlighting human use of natural spaces. Excited to get Trailhead Labs off the ground in style.
