(Above: Construction begins with putting up drywall, handpainting the ceiling with stencils, and refinishing the wood floors)
As you probably know, April 1st marked the grand opening of the fabulous PAPAYA LIVING! in our home base of Ashland, Oregon. Now that every square inch is covered in beautiful goodness, it's hard to believe that only two months ago construction began on this project.
Although it was a huge undertaking, Anahata's vision and fearless attitude seemed to make everything fall into place.
After a lot of planning, pricing, priming, painting, and primping the store was ready to open its doors to heaps of happy customers.
And finally, meet the staff of PAPAYA LIVING! Left to right: Joanna, Zoe, Anahata, and Allegra.
I have fallen head over heels for Papaya Art and have everything from cards to calendars, key chains...well you sell it, I have it. I am in love with the fact that there is a store. I am thinking I need to convince my boy friend to take a trip up to Ashland with me!

Wow! This must be the most beautiful store in the World. Truely wish I was there. Alas, I'm on the opposite side of the planet!! Congratulations on a wonderful store, and hooray for the obvious talent that you are, Anahata.
Best of luck.
