the most ghetto anthropologie

Seriously. Everyday the other intern and I improvise our own tools. No paintbrushes? Ok, we'll use these sponge thingies. No cardboard cutters? Ok, we'll use these exacto knives. No paint/window scrapers? Ok, we'll make our own out of razor blades and putty knives (aka our very own prison shanks). I thought our backroom was like, the ultimate in supplies but maybe not!

There's a workshop at our store this week (meaning visual managers from other stores come in and install displays) and everything is sooo intense. I'll take pictures of everything when they're done. But I must say, these girls love their tools! They gushed over this one girl's power drill and its lightness and appealing color scheme at least 3 times today. They're pretty tough too. They're about my size (or smaller...) and can carry these 5x3 foot boards around by themselves like it's nothing. If I were an art major, working as visual manager at Anthropologie would be my dream job. No joke. I wouldn't mind doing this for the rest of my life I think.
