On Sunday afternoon I showed up at closing time to pack up and take home all of the accessories from my space at the Wenham Museum <a href="http://wenhammuseum.org/northshoredesignshow.html">North Shore Design Show.</a> This took all of one hour which included chatting with some of my fellow designers who were also there beginning to pack up. Okay, maybe I spent more time stalling than actually packing. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Monday morning I arrived to see the new 26 foot truck from my day job at <a href="http://designerbath.com/">Designer Bath</a> parked alongside the Museum to pick up the <a href="http://www.stoneforest.com/kitchen-bath/products/view/220">Stone Forest Salus Potting Sink</a> that was the inspiration piece behind my vignette. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifCIDZuZDsfuu0L0UHaK7GG9c_LSQdp0CV71nwP6X9RNNy86wCNSRuP0SN4vniehVwZXsRX5_BglHnaJA9OT5dL21dcHR0u4k0rXnnRJFfQX7NYsDwx-QwdU1byYYBN9qkqHLic2kJW63r/s1600/duravit+DesignerBath@wenham.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifCIDZuZDsfuu0L0UHaK7GG9c_LSQdp0CV71nwP6X9RNNy86wCNSRuP0SN4vniehVwZXsRX5_BglHnaJA9OT5dL21dcHR0u4k0rXnnRJFfQX7NYsDwx-QwdU1byYYBN9qkqHLic2kJW63r/s800/duravit+DesignerBath@wenham.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">While I really didn’t need a 26 foot truck to accomodate the three foot wide sink, it was quite nice – and comforting – to have a couple of my co-workers from the showroom/warehouse there to carry out the extremely heavy granite sink along with the number of pretty pieces from <a href="http://www.circlefurniture.com/">Circle Furniture</a> that also had to be returned. </span></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhONPNVvHLnb7IM9YwPIsVuM-RwhgK82A23pl9mdqzuW5Z8qGYlVzHU2o1iSt7i4mA-mWEXYINT7Ryk6cm_0u0SW7f0UA4clf-hTg6M2Pv6D_abW6WLFs60RXrUlnXx-b0Bj0GMnY0363u/s1600/hansgrohe2@wenham.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhONPNVvHLnb7IM9YwPIsVuM-RwhgK82A23pl9mdqzuW5Z8qGYlVzHU2o1iSt7i4mA-mWEXYINT7Ryk6cm_0u0SW7f0UA4clf-hTg6M2Pv6D_abW6WLFs60RXrUlnXx-b0Bj0GMnY0363u/s800/hansgrohe2@wenham.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">And since I chose the graphics and designed the look of the new trucks, it was a slightly surreal moment in time for me as well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like every year, I did take a lot of photos from the show. I will share them later this week. Right now I am still a little sad that it is all over. I guess I could always just turn that same attention to my own house though, right? If only I had access to the same design inventory : )</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
