The adorable workspace of Two Twenty One

We all love a great workspace...it makes you feel much more productive (and happy) working in an organized and pretty space. I recently came across this Home Office Makeover by Chelsea at Two Twenty One. I adore this charming little space! The colors are beautiful and calming...yet it's a cheerful space. Check out her before and after pictures here. Thank you for letting us share your images Chelsea! 

I also fell in love with her fabric covered Memo Board...so adorable and she has a great tutorial on how to make it! I might have to try this soon!

Love this issue...love this magazine...and love the generous and sharing hearts in the industry! 

Bliss & Bokeh...the Retreat

One of our sweet Savvy Sisters, Betsy Mullinax, is hosting a fabulous retreat for wedding photographers in the charming town of Charleston, South Carolina. Here's more from the host about the retreat...

"Our desire is to create a community of women who are passionate about wedding photography

and the art of capturing bliss. Through an amazing team of talented speakers, beautifully styled

shoots, and incredible local partnerships, attendees will have an opportunity to grow as creative

entrepreneurs, while indulging in the luxury and charm of a city named two years in a row

by Conde Nast readers as the number one destination in the US."

The Savvy Studio Grand Opening Party

The Savvy Studio...I've dreamed of opening this for so long and I'm thrilled to announce it's finally here!

We had our grand opening party last week...thank you to all of my dear friends and Savvy readers who joined us!

 

 

Tomorrow I will share some more about the space and the before pictures! I must admit I loved decorating the space...and I did it on a budget...very small budget...and I love how it turned out!

I'm also excited to launch my new site, The Savvy Studios. I've created the blog for the studio and my portrait business, Marsha Mifsud Photography. You can also see more pictures of the studio here...The Studio. I will bring in an associate photographer to photograph family and child portraits while I specialize in photographing women. I'd love it if you follow me on Facebook (how's that for a shameless plug)...I thank you for supporting me along the way these past three and a half years on the Savvy blog! 

**The above images are from the talented Lisa Polucci. She is an amazing wedding and portrait photographer in the Atlanta area. I decided last minute to hire someone to photograph the event and I was so glad she waas available that night! She was great to work with and has a wonderful eye...thank you Lisa!!
