Art? Decoration? Stuff.

Who likes waiting? No one. So while we are all waiting on the website, I'll give you something everyone likes just as much s waiting, teasers.

A little beast by Andy Scott. We are really excited to show you more of his stuff, but until then check out his blog, A Place For All.

For all of my fellow peddlers, pumpers, pushers, spinners, or what ever other bicycle rider slang you prefer, expect to see a lot of bike stuff....

That's it for now. Check back often--I will keep on posting more teasers the closer we get to the website launch!

FINALLY, it's Official!!!!

The past few months have been filled with a lot of let downs from local real estate and development companies, but finally, we have our space.


Our new location is in the Squirrel Hill Plaza, across from the corner of Murray Ave and Hazelwood Ave, in the Hazelwood/Squirrel Hill area of the city. We are right up Beechwood Ave and Murray Ave coming from Squirrel Hill, and right up Browns Hill Road from The Waterfront and Homestead.

The space will act as a store as well as an open design studio for our designers. We are very excited to get a move on to get everything ready for a grand opening (we will be having an awesome launch party too!)

Our website isn't done yet, but it's very close to being done. For now, keep checking our blog, we will be posting some of the products we are working on this week!

It turns out, people read this.

So, over the past few months we have been working very hard to overcome a few challenges we didn't plan for. Because of this, I haven't utilized this blog, and it seems that I have left some people in the dark.

So lets fast forward to whats going on right now:

-We have locked in a space in Squirrel Hill. We have not signed a lease yet, so it isn't 100% official, but that should be taken care of over the next few days.

-We have been meeting with several artists to talk about their work and how we can work together. (We are always looking for fresh art, so if you think you have the chops, shoot us an email at info@applystuff.com)

Speaking of artists, recently we sat down to lunch at Fatheads in the Southside with Andrew Scott. We are looking forward to working with him to get his work into your home.

Store?

You might be wondering where our online store is, or how to get to it. The short answer is, it isn't done yet. We have been working with a great designer/programmer to get it up, but there is more programming involved than initially expected. Most of it has to do with keeping all your precious information safe while shopping with us.

Waiting is horrible, and it is just as bad for us as it is for you, but if you want something now, shoot us an email at info@applystuff.com, and we will work with you to get you something unique now.

Also, we are still working on a location for a brick and mortar store, and we will keep you posted as we find out more.

Update

It has been awhile since I have updated, but I assure you we are still working hard. We have been working very hard with our designers to get a large selection of products ready for launch.

With the less than thriving economy, things have been hard be we are trudging through in order to offer you some really cool products.

Stay tuned, our online store should be up soon!

We are still pumping

It has been a while, but we are still here. Everything is falling into place, and we expect to have the full website up by April 1, and we expect a physical store/studio early in the summer.

A lot of time has been spent exploring the idea of what is is to be a socially responsible company, and what we can do as a company to execute this goal.

We are working on a lot now, and talking with a lot of people about what we can do, but nothing is finalized. However, as deals close I will keep you updated.

The Ball is Rolling

We are working on finalizing all the legal stuff, and then we will be back to finalizing our design team.

We have been browsing real estate listing for commercial space for our studio/production facility/retail store, and we have become very interested in the Lower Lawrenceville area of Pittsburgh, or LoLa as the hip developers are billing it.

So, where will we end up? Who knows.
