before & after - DIY guest, Rachel Dulude

this is one of Rachel's very first furniture DIY projects (and blog appearances I'm guessing). Rachel is a very talented woman, whether it be with acting (we went to school together), sewing (she was a costumer at Trinity Rep. in Providence), or any other creative projects for that matter. the girl's got style.

not to mention she is one of my besties so she must be awesome at everything.

congrats, Rach! you've done a fine job on your first of many projects---

Creator's Inn, Stockholm...

Elvine and Scandic Malmen offer visiting creators free accommodation in Stockholm

"The Gothenburg-based clothing label Elvine and the hotel Scandic Malmen launch the hotel concept ‘Creators Inn’ in Stockholm on the 1st August. The Creators Inn is the worlds first “hotel-in-hotel” complete with its own design and unique details.

An overnight at Creators Inn offers all the standard features and comfort associated with a modern hotel but the crucial difference is that you as a guest do not have to pay anything. The aim with Creator’s Inn is to promote the local area and give something back to travelling creators whose presence contributes to a more interesting city, whether they are in a band, DJ, designer, artist, writer etc.

– “We are your friend. is Elvine’s core ideal, and as a friend it offers its guests, obviously shelter. It feels great to extend our hospitality and be able to take the concept on to Stockholm,” says Johan Johnsen, marketing director for Elvine.

Potential guests from within Sweden or the world are able to apply for short-term accommodation at www.creatorsinn.com. A selection of room guests throughout the project will be documented and presented on the website.

Read more about the Creators Inn by Elvine at: www.creatorsinn.com and see past guests to the Gothenburg Creators Inn. Stockholm is the first time this project is housed within an existing hotel."
