Behind-the-Scenes images by Erin DeMartini
Our Nesting Newbies team took over a corner of the San Francisco Room&Board Showroom for our Spring 2010 cover shoot. Our thanks to Michael Gargiulo and Jason Levine for being so generous and to the entire staff for their support!
Bryan Mason is willing to climb the (very) tall ladder to clip on our custom pendant, featuring an explosion of white flowers–handcrafted from soft clay by designer Diane Phillips.
Does Jodi look nervous? By the way, we no sooner got the pendant in place when a woman walked by and asked where could buy it! (Here’s a secret…you might be the one to win it in our Inbe’tweet contest in July…more soon.)
Jeanine Hays from AphroChic Blog and AphroChic Shop came to help us style the bed with some of her modern soulful pillows.
We started with Room&Board’s Wyatt Queen Bed with Low Headboard and added the ANIS duvet from Blissliving Home.
Bryan, Jeanine’s hubby, gets the AphroChic Dreamland Collection pillows plumped and ready to place next.
Jeanine makes sure the pillows are set just right. We brought in a With-a-Twist table from Brick Monkey for an unexpected twist!
We added the Duralee, Super Bulldog, and AphroChic Mandala pillows to the front.
Photographer Margot Hartford arrives and gets the camera set up and lighting ready to go.
Margot, Lea and Jodi check out the framing. Is everything in the right place?
Our front cover features a decor vignette…Did you notice that there’s always a bird element somewhere in the scene? On the back, we always include Lea in the vignette as Chef Lea is one of our Nesting Newbies brands. Lea’s wearing a bird robe made from a whimsical fabric called “Bird Swing” by Michael Miller Fabrics.
Trying all sorts of positions to get the best image. Gotta have those Charles Chocolates in the scene!
Meet the entire team: Erin DeMartini, Margot Hartford, Lea McIntosh, Bryan Mason, Jeanine Hays…and Jodi Murphy taking the shot (after Margot set it up : ). It’s a wrap!
