reStore Personal Project Portraits: Shelley Dodd from SD Design
Shelley baby! Our good friend and design muse for our new IRIS Photography studio in West Hartford Center had her turn in front of Jane’s camera and natural light studio for her reStore project. Shelley’s a West Hartford-based interior designer with an amazing design sense–she had a strong vision for the store from the beginning and we love all the elements she chose to make it beautiful…thanks so much Shelley!! Shelley and her husband Matt and their three adorable kids live in West Hartford. For a design consultation you can reach Shelley at belle_dodd@comcast.net.

reStore: Clyde from Falcon Sign in East Granby CT
You know your business is real when the sign goes up. Until that moment passers-by didn’t stop and talk with us, but when Clyde Grindal from Falcon Sign and Awning in East Granby CT installed our IRIS Photography sign on our 10 LaSalle Rd store in February…we met several of our neighbors on the sidewalk.
In our build-out we wanted to open up the front of the store. So we took the awning off the front window and it was like lifting your visor. And we wanted the sign to work with the brick facade, not cover it up. Clyde came up with a perfect solution with the white lettering and lattice work that blends into the rust-colored brick.
Clyde’s been in the sign biz for 18 years and in his off-time he likes to run and hike on trails in the Granby area and beyond. If you’re looking for signage or awnings, visit Falcon Sign. Thanks Clyde!

reStore Personal Project Portraits: Jim Burns from JB Flooring in Granby CT
Man und Machine–that’s Jim Burns next to his German LÄGLER wood floor sander, the Mercedes of sanders, which he used to transform our studio floor. Jim took that floor from old carpet to new oak and really helped to finish the look of our studio, working on the floors at all hours of the night (Jim’s a night owl for sure). In former days Jim was a motocross racer, and today he lives in Granby CT. You can reach Jim at 860.209.7326.
