RH NYSE

You may have noticed the posting be a little light here recently.  

Things have been pretty busy at work.

You can see why in the news today.

Restoration Hardware is listed on the New York Stock Exchange!

Working in finance at Resto, this is about as exciting as it gets! 

Well, and the sample sales, of course. :)

We're already trading at more than 30% than what we priced at. {Also, very exciting!}

Read more about it on Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal.

P.S. This is not a sponsored post, I just love my job :) Happy Friday All!

It's all in the details {Restoration Hardware - Fall 2012}

I've been a bit m.i.a. this week at a 2-day conference for work in San Francisco.  We were lucky enough to be there on some of the most gorgeous days the city has had.

We were also lucky enough to get some pretty special gifts.

{iPod shuffle in the invitation!}

But of everything that we were given, I think my favorite items were the Fall 2012 catalogues that don't drop until September 4th, along with a presentation from the exec's on all the new pieces and how they came to be; from Paris flea markets, to late night concept meetings, to repainting until just the right design was reached.

Now since the catalogue isn't dropping for a few more weeks, I can't discuss the new collection, but I can show you a few pictures of my new RH pen.

Pretty nice pen, huh?!

On a side note, there's been a lot of talk about branding here in blogland.  I've read a bit about it {here} and {here}.  I think Resto is such a great example of branding.  It really is all in the details.  {All photos are from the 2-day conference.}

I guess it's been a week of shameless plugging!  Check out my early post {here}.  Thanks for humoring me.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ice Cream Friday

It's 75 degrees outside.  It's February.  This is not normal for Northern California, but I'm not complaining. 

It's been like this all week and with the tons of hours I've been working I'm only experiencing it though the window in my office.  Still not complaining though.

Someone ordered ice cream today for the office :)  

Strawberry with rainbow sprinkles :)  

2 scoops :)

Happy Friday!
