Just wanted to give a shout out to Elyse Kroll Interiors–the mastermind behind the Babesta Threads revamp. We can't say enough about Elyse – and we give her our highest recommendation if you're looking to spruce up your home or professional space. We didn't even know we were going to revamp Babesta until Elyse came in (after we tapped her to do the consultation we "won" at the PS 234 school auction). Her ideas were great and we could see her vision in our first conversation. Our interest was immediately piqued and we decided to just go for it. Our contractor was surprised ("we're revamping the space, are you free next week!?") but somehow it all came together. (OK I say somehow, but really it was all of us working round the clock). We love her creativity and resourcefulness coupled with a great ability to listen and understand our business needs and come up with attractive solutions to address each one. She definitely captured the Babesta vibe, helping us make our miniature space much more useful while keeping it super-cool. Some of the highlights: The orange and grey accent walls, the framed t-shirt wall, the center locker-tables, the back counter made out of kitchen cabnitry. We look forward to working with Elyse again-She rocks

Babesta Threads Renovated!

Posted August 5, 2012 By babesta

So for the last couple weeks we have been closed doing a bit of sprucing up  – painting, floors, lights and more! This weekend we opened our doors "softly" as we put on the finishing touches! Thought we'd share a photo with everyone, but we invite you to check it out in person!

OK, so we will be putting out a fun reading list that kids can enjoy this summer (coming soon). I remember fondly joining the library's summer reading clubs and trying to read the most books during the lazy beach days, so we're asking for recommendations from clients, friends and publishing houses on the best of the best for each age group. We'll start posting next week. But in the meantime, we thought we'd give you a snapshot of what the Babesta crew was reading this summer for the moms and dads!

*I have to credit the idea of making a staff shelf to Out of Print Books and BTW, some great OOPB tees are coming soon – we'll let you know!

On our first try! Steph is our resident expert and is the luckiest person in the world (ask to see her collection of crying cakes from the Yummy Desserts!) This is what she pulled out of the box.

Retail in Detail: An Inside Look at Babesta

Posted February 29, 2012 By babesta

We’re right now scouring the markets and websites, getting word of mouth tips from clients, and getting called by designers daily. (If you have some fresh fashion intel, please share it!) We’re on our quest to find the latest and greatest out there for an Autumn/Winter 2012 “Babesta.” A Babesta, mind you, is a cool city kid who has no time to do the digging, but wants the dopest duds, raddest wheels and most coo-worthy crib on the block. When I look around the store, I am stoked to say that there is a reason why every garment, stroller and has floor space at Babesta – passes the dope, rad and coo-worthy test – and we’re just waiting to tell you why.

Two of Babesta’s fave brands below from two of our most beloved regions for cool clothes–Sweden and Australia. Mini Rodini and Munster Kids are always crowd pleasers for their cool graphics and comfy fit.

Our Valentines Window, Real-Time, at Babesta

Posted February 2, 2012 By babesta

We were hard at work on a Valentine's window that we could get everyone's involvement in. We thought it would be fun to ask people what they love, both in-store and online and day by day, build our window with the help of any and all game participants – children and adults alike.

What we used:

Tools used to make the fringe curtain:

Blade (box cutter)

Scissors

5 packs of Metallic tissue (3 sheets per pack)

Painters' tape

Cut the metallic tissue, like so…

Of course you need hearts and markers as well!
