Refit DAY 22. Sorry , no updates for a few days. Sometimes a job takes time and progress is slower. The plumbing sucked up quite a few hours but it’s finally done, the TO DO list is getting smaller and there’s finally light at the end of this tunnel ! The shop is starting to look the picture in that I had in my mind before we ripped it all to pieces : a hybrid hipster coffee shop/Swedish bar/70’s Chinese take- away/shed. #refit #independentshop #designshop #shoplocal #indieyork #smallbusiness #york

Perfectly in time for #foliagefriday we’ve got new leaves unfurling, uncurling and busting out all over the place. From Calathea ornatas to the variegated Monstera, everything is “growing” for it!

Refit DAY 18 : The hatch is almost done - got a comment that it looks like a 1970’s Chinese takeaway, I’ll take that. Kyle and Hannah tiling today, Nigel put up our new track lighting. I spent a lot of time trying to repair the fu€#ing router as our internet connection is also very 1970’s.

We're really pleased to be able to show you the brand new logo for Rickety House. ⠀ ⠀ Rickety House create beautiful one of a kind gifts and wanted to ensure their branding conveyed the handmade element of their business onto their logo.⠀ ⠀ We feel that the brand now has a polished image that hints at the handcrafted gifts they create.⠀ ⠀ We love thinking about what brands and the people behind them are truly about and then creating a bespoke design that fits perfectly. ⠀ We made various revisions to this design until the lovely client behind this company thought it was a perfect fit!⠀ ⠀ If we don't quite get it right the first time then we will happily tweak your design until it really reflects your vision, its all part of our process!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Meet Chris, as one of the founders of Mint Sauce Media, he is one of the driving forces behind the business.⠀ ⠀ With over 25 years (eek!) in the graphic design and website design industry he is well placed to develop websites that function beautifully and have incredible cutting edge design behind them.⠀ ⠀ You can trust him to have the expertise to deliver a perfectly functional site that looks like it has a ton of strategy and design behind it (because it has!)⠀ ⠀ At Mint Sauce Media we are not about giving you the basic website - because you could do that yourself, you'll get strategic design, an amazingly designed brand that puts you head and shoulders above your competition and a website that places you as a hugely credible force in your market.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ We'd love to here about your upcoming project and how we could collaborate to create a stand out, innovative website, If you are able drop an obscure 90's indie tune into a chat with Chris it would make his day, if not he's still a great guy who'll give you that innovative touch to any design project you may have!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀

Going to be sampling breakfast in a few mins in this beautiful little hotel and I honestly can’t wait! What a setting for a start .... I’ve just read some reviews for @theparisihotel and you should too! Their breakfasts are the business apparently!

Sometimes you just have to jump in and start....⠀ ⠀ You've got that great idea, you know you can create an awesome business and you've got a ton of passion to push it forward. ⠀ Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and say “this is me and this is what I'm doing” The finer details can be worked out as you go, the main thing is starting!⠀ ⠀ After working in the graphic design and web design industry for over 20 years, we launched as Mint Sauce Media after planning, talking and dreaming for around 5 years. ⠀ ⠀ How long did you take to take the plunge and launch your business?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Staying here on our anniversary weekend in York @theparisihotel. Just beautiful in every way ..... love the close attention they pay to all the things I think are important. Personal, independent, ethical, organic , thoughtful, kind, individual, stylish- all words that Spring to mind here. And did I mention the flowers? The super comfy beds? The lovely coffee? #hotelparisi #independenthotel #visityork #boutiquehotel #indieyork #lovethisdecor

I finally made it to @helstonstreet, the rustic interiors shop part of @sparkyork. They have so many gorgeous bits and pieces for the home - and lots of dried flowers.
