Start Ups

This has been a very creative design week in terms of graphics and branding. Our friends at Lil' Chick Jewelry are expanding to Lil' Chick Sitters. Yep, its as it sounds, chicken sitting. Amazingly enough, its a growing need, people are buying chickens and even ducks as the new trending pet.

Lil' Chick Sitters: For all your chicken sitting needs... go on vacation without worrying about who will take care of your flock!

A long time friend has finally realized what everyone around her has been screaming for the last 5 years "You have to start your own personal-training business!" SMMS Design is proud to be apart of the beginning of what will be a very successful and fulfilling business venture. The concept is a balanced approach to wellness, aiming to move each client forward in fitness, nutrition and life.

Do point: the point where you're fed up, done with excuses, and ready to get into action!

Vermont Antique Trip

SMMS went on a picking adventure in Vermont and New Hampshire recently. We unearthed many items for our stock collection plus "in-high demand" goods to be sold at the Brooklyn Flea. Here are a few of our pictures from the trip including our amazing finds.

Makeup cases are handy on so many levels. Whether on a bathroom counter housing jewelry or displayed nicely in a stack of multiples.

People are often intimidated by a rewiring project, what we say to that is, "You can wire a cheese grater!" In this case, we are able to take apart this bud lamp to create three individual pendant lights by using new vintage-looking fabric wrapped cord. In the end, these will be stunning anywhere they hang.

Oh, say can you see...

Its Independence Day and we're celebrating the Red, White and Blue through design. Maybe with a hint of cheeky prodding towards the Brits. Its possible to incorporate a little patriotism and a nod to history into our surroundings without looking like kitschy-Americana. Well-designed patterns, repeats and hues balance the red, white and blue theme in each of these products.

Enjoy your independence and freedom to use America as inspiration in all your designs. Happy 4th of July!
