If it’s Tuesday afternoon then John Bollash is getting his Zen on, wallpapering to the New Age sounds of WWUH (91.3 FM), the University of Hartford’s college station.

We met John a few years back when he wallpapered our dining room and bathroom.  For the new studio, Shelley, our designer, pitched the idea of papering the ceiling with a big patterned Anthropologie wallpaper.  We almost passed on it…but at the last minute went for it, got John on the phone and he got it done.  So here’s reStore #2:  John of John Bollash Wallpapering in Manchester (phone 860.645.9343).  Thanks John, love the wallpaper!

We wanted to chronicle the build-out of the studio, but not really by shooting pictures of the space alone in every stage.  Instead, we wanted to photograph the people that go into transforming the space.  Having moved from the corporate world to the entrepreneurial one, we are both  huge fans of small business…so we’re thrilled that everyone we’ve asked so far has agreed to be part of my (Jane) “reStore” personal project where I photograph all the people who are involved in helping us make this place a reality!  That said, we thought it would still be a good idea to show a “before” and stay tuned for some close-ups of the fun people we get to work with!
