so i have been a TERRIFICALLY bad blogger the last two months, but now i am here to show you why! For the last nine weeks, i closed my store every day at 6pm and walked across the street to the 3000sq. foot space i was going to be using for my June MADE IN THE 216 event and worked till anywhere from 10pm to 2am setting up a temporary store to feel like an extension of my main store ROOM SERVICE.
This was my 3rd installment of the event, but by far the largest. not only did i go from featuring 18 designers to 42 designers i also decided to really make the kind of event that i would want to attend and do something different…so i added a lineup of 11 bands and several independent bakers and caterers…..all of which sort of fell under the great umbrella of the design and culture lifestyle that I personally am inspired by.
It was all worth it to see the Cleveland streets filled with people for two days enjoying it all and soaking up a fun summer evening.
I would like to thank you each of you who came out for putting this event, supporting nearly 90 Clevelanders on your busy summer calendars…we all appreciated it greatly!
I am taking a few days off and then will be back to the planning phase of my November show.
Below you will find some pics taken by either myself, Judy of Modern Pixie, Charity of Chartreuse Design and I heart Cleveland blog or Kyle Roth of Epstein Design Partners. (the firm responsible for my store’s logo/branding).
Again, thank you all for your support
xoxo

I will be posting about my recent event, MADE IN THE 216, but until i get to that, here is some of the press the event received over the past week….
even cleveland (i love this blog because the blogger, Stephanie, has a GREAT appreciation for good design. and while this is absolutely a CLEVELAND-based blog, it is almost more a design blog)
Room Service GREATLY appreciates her joining us for the event and for writing a really lovely review!
Please visit Stephanie’s blog and check out all her posts, she is VERY prolific!! even cleveland
another blog that i have signed up for the RSS feed to and read daily is: i heart cleveland
well, just to look at the logo, it is instantly clear that this blogger appreciates good design; the fact that she owns her own design firm, CHARTREUSE, well, it just makes LOTS of sense to me! This blog is a great daily read because it is always brief…(unlike my blogs!!) so it is easy to just open with your email and start the day with what is usually a heads up on some unique or fun thing to do in Cleveland…Charity, the author, blogged that she would be going to the MADE IN THE 216 event and explained a little bit about the genesis of the event…check it out here and while your there sign up for her blog!
i heart cleveland
My friend Michelle’s blog, CLEVELAND FOODIE is a beloved Cleveland-based food blog. She gets interviews with all of our top chef’s & dines out A LOT with her husband Jamie.
They recently visited my shop for the first time on their way to Luxe and she subsequently posted about the MADE IN THE 216 event…Thank you Michelle!!!!!!
Cleveland Epicure is another awesome Cleveland-based food blog written by Alan of Ohio city who, along with his wife, Nancy, have become friends through my store. Alan included word on my event, MADE IN THE 216 in not ONE but TWO of his newsletters! thank you and i hope the ohio city crawl worked out with the weather, i couldn’t believe that rain, i instantly thought of you both!!!
