Bee Hives Aren't Just for Hair-dos

Sometimes you have to work at it.

I initially found a really cool shelving unit, pitched it to my client as a key piece in his 'men's dressing room' that I was designing and he fell in love with it too. Finally, it's time to order it and LITERALLY the day before, someone came in and bought the store out of that sku completely. What's a Huh? Girl to do? Search and search and search until you find (if not the exact same) something that will do just as well if not better in the space - and for less money! There's a really cool site out there called Opulent Items but they're not all out of reach.

So moral of the story, don't give up. You can end up impressing your client (or yourself) more than you initially thought and have a bigger impact. If I haven't said it lately, I'll say it now - I LOVE THE INTERNET! I can get so much done and shop the entire United States in a single afternoon. Ah, nice.
