The Weekly BUZZ: Vision Boards, Events, and Art!

What’s Going On…
This week’s featured event is a double header with our Hiver, Gigi Gravel – Lifestyle Architect, running a 2 day workshop here at The Hive RI this coming Saturday & Sunday.  You can sign up for one, or both (recommended) and ALL who attend her workshops leave feeling a sense of clarity & with a solid definition of what they really want in the year ahead!  For more information and/or to register click here!

We are also excited about next week’s AMP-RI (Advertising, Marketing & PR) event at The Vig in Providence where Peter George will be presenting: ‘Grow Your Business! Attract More Clients! Enjoy Greater Success’.  To register or learn more, click here.  I’m excited to have recently joined the board of AMP-RI and hope some of you will consider becoming a member and attending our events in 2018 (many exciting changes in the works with this organization as we freshen things up for the new year ahead)! 

Art Gallery at The Hive RI
The current Art Show at The Hive RI… Details here.  Plus…I’ve added ‘mini art shows’ in my TS Consulting/TRS Strategies office – so we now have 3 shows within The Hive RI running simultaneously!  How exciting is that?!  We always feature the revolving work of Cindy Wilson Photography in the large space to the left (sort of the ‘center’ space here) and I’ve recently decided to run a revolving mini show in my office.  I currently have the work of Susan Fox, as well as the remainder of Janelle Feigley/Elle Art Design‘s #PeopleProject pieces from her October Breast Cancer fundraiser.  These pieces are available for $128 each and ALL the proceeds go directly to Breast Cancer research & awareness.  I’ll be featuring an album soon on both The Hive RI‘s Facebook page, as well as the TS Consulting/TRS Strategies Facebook page!  Keep an eye out for some Fb LIVE videos too…

Community Spotlight: Janelle Blakely Photopoulos of Blakely Interior Design

Our Community Spotlight here at The Mill at Lafayette shines on Blakely Interior Design. Since its inception in 2010, Blakely has been dedicated to collaborating between their team of designers and customer base with their goal to create a dream space for all of their clients.

Janelle Blakely Photopoulos, owner and principal designer of Blakely Interior Design, started out right here at The Hive, the Mill’s shared co-working space. When asked why she chose the Mill as the place to house her expanding business, Janelle says, “It is so exciting for us to come back to our roots where it all began. I love how we have come full circle moving back to the Mill this February to our own brand new design studio. It truly inspires us everyday to see how the business has grown and evolved!”

Blakely moved into a ground level suite in the Rodman Building and quickly transformed the area into a space that showcased their design skills. “To see the transformation of our own 2,000 sq. ft. space, reflecting our brand feels surreal. You have to be in an environment that inspires you to do great work, and we love how our new space turned out!”

Janelle cites the overwhelming support of the people and other businesses here at the Mill as being her favorite part of being in the Mill community. “From dropping off misdirected mail to helping us unload our custom doors, the people have been wonderful. Even when we made a big stink (literally – from our amazing epoxy painted floors) – everyone was so patient and understanding. A few dozen donuts helped!”

Janelle and Blakely Interior Design are dedicated to the business scene, also. “We love to work with local artisans to help showcase their craftsmanship whenever possible on custom pieces for our clients. Not only does it help our local community’s economy, but it provides our clients with something truly unique and special they normally would not find in a big box store.”

Blakely Interior Design truly is a great fit for our wonderful community here at the Mill At Lafayette. Stop by their design studio, visit their website, or contact them today!
