Yesterday morning I was on a truck at 5am driving down to the Interior Design Show to offload and start setup. Okay, I'm taking a moment to whinge here: There is almost nothing I hate more than driving a truck, seriously, well perhaps raw celery, but that's another story. By 7am I was in and offloaded, along with my contractors two trucks and a van, and work started. The floor was screwed together pretty sharpish, then the walls went up, and by now, 24 hours later, the floor tiles will have been completed, along with the grout. Next up is this wallpaper from Graham & Brown!
In my bleary I-haven't-had-coffee brain of yesterday morning I forgot to bring my camera to document the progress. Sheesh. So instead, since I think this is really rather cool and I love a peek behind the scenes, here's a great video by Quarter Productions that shows Repeat Press making letterpress coasters for Highsnobiety and Selectism. Oh, and the bluesy soundtrack is brilliant.
Just heard from Steve Schinnerer at Quarter Productions who let me know that the song on the video is Fought Piranhas by The White Stripes (though I bet all you smartypants out there already knew that!).
