We’re onto year two of P&J – where lots changed, and also lots stayed the same!!!

We got t-shirts, which was a BIG DEAL to us!  We were so excited!!

Paisley & Jade t-shirts made it in year 2! People were starting to learn the name of the vintage and speciality rental company based in Richmond, VA.

Our second year brought lots more opportunities to collaborate with awesome creatives, and participate in some amazing styled shoots!!  One of our favorites was Katelyn James’ Workshop Experience (pictured below)!!  To see more behind the scenes details from this awesome day click here!

Paisley & Jade is always excited to participate in styled shoots with the talented Katelyn James Photography! She brings our vintage and specialty rental inventory to life in a beautiful way!

We spent a lot of time on location at different shoots, which meant we obviously needed to try on the accessories.

Fortunately, since we brought the chairs places, we had no problem sitting in them!!

Our second year of business continued on as a two-woman show, meaning Perkins & Morgan did lots of deliveries:

Which meant learning to drive big trucks!!

Paisley & Jade takes deliveries seriously! This two-woman team did all the deliveries themselves for the first two years! Paisley & Jade delivers their vintage and specialty rental inventory to Virginia, Washington, DC, and North Carolina!

And sometimes, that made us tired:

So we got smart and started bringing in some outside delivery help!

In Year 2, the P&J team expanded: delivery crew to help us deliver the best quality rentals and service to our wonderful clients!

And then, in February of 2014 – BIG NEWS: We found a space to call our own.

Welcome Home! In Year 2, Paisley & Jade finds a new home for their vintage and specialty rental inventory (and themselves) in the heart of Scott's Addition in Richmond, VA!

Highpoint & Moore was a dream location – in the heart of Scott’s Addition, a gorgeous showroom with tons of natural light, and plenty of space so we could have some of our friends join us!!  We moved in March 1, along with Glint Events and The Green Flamingo.

Paisley & Jade found their home in Scott's Addition with Glint Events and The Green Flamingo where they could bring their entire vintage and specialty rental inventory collection!

But moving in also meant MOVING ALL THE FURNITURE.

…and all the chairs.

The showroom at Highpoint & Moore was perfect for Paisley & Jade to bring their vintage and specialty rental inventory. It had beautiful natural light and a huge warehouse space to store inventory, too!

The Warehouse space at Highpoint & Moore was perfect for Paisley & Jade's vintage and specialty rental inventory and much bigger than the storage unit!

But once we got settled, we were in love!  And our amazing friend, Stephanie Yonce Photography, came by to document our new space.

Stephanie Yonce Photography stopped by our new home at Highpoint & Moore and snapped some photos of our vintage and specialty rental inventory!

We also finally got our wish of having a chair wall (because that’s what normal people dream of, right???).

A Chair Wall is what dreams are made of! At least at P&J they are! Just a few of our many mismatched chairs are on display in our showroom at Highpoint & Moore!

Since we had this amazing new space, we were able to transition from our outdoor inventory photos…

Inventory photos for Paisley & Jade were taken outside prior to finding P&J's new home in Scott's Addition.

…to indoor ones at the space.

We loved working alongside so many talented folks in the space!

Highpoint & Moore had plenty of space for Paisley & Jade to invite friends and other vendors to their space and work together!

…and of course, year two wouldn’t be complete without a bit of sass!

Paisley & Jade takes home a couple prizes after The NACEYs in Year 2! NACE is the National Association for Catering and Events and P&J attended the Richmond Chapters event!

We thought year 1 and year 2 were pretty great, but we had no idea how much better it would get when we started to officially grow our team to include more #pandjpeeps!  More to come to the blog tomorrow for year 3!
