Drinks With Drea: Episode 1

So, we did a thing. And I am so excited to share! As you guys know, I love to meet and learn about other creative entrepreneurs. That often takes the shape of interviews on the blog. I decided to merge that with a theme that I've been sharing on my Instagram feed for several years. #DrinksWithDrea. I wanted to create a fun way to chit chat about home decor, style, good drinks - basically just have a good convo. I plan to invite guests to talk with me from time to time. Other days I may just give a tutorial, or discuss whatever is on my mind. 

For this first episode, I'm introducing you to what Drinks With Drea will be. I'm also talking with India Gary, the owner of Shodah Spalon, a salon and spa located in Fishers, Indiana (just outside of Indianapolis). India is an entrepreneur with lots of gems to drop about her journey and growth as a business woman. Check out her Instagram page to stay in the loop with the salon. India and I connected over our love for IKEA and home decor in general. You guys should know by now, that the new IKEA Fishers is opening on October 11th. By the way, I was at Media Day for the store and I am so impressed with what they have to offer. If you have time to hit the Grand Opening, you definitely should! They are giving away hundreds of pieces of furniture including sofas and chairs. Also, if your birthday is October 11th, you get a gift card! Listen, just go. Checkout some photos from that day plus the Shodah Spalon, down thread. 

Watch the first video and let me know what you think! Should I do more video content? What topics do you want me to discuss? Let me know in the comments! 

Special thanks to DFG Media for videography services!

And from IKEA Media Day...big takeaway from this tour, I am super pleased to see a lot of new product, plus edgier finishes and color for the pieces we love. Loved seeing rich colors and bold pieces. 

These Turkish rugs may have been my favorite piece. Each rug features unique patchwork. 

Oooh wee, we covered a lot today! As always, give me a holler if I can do anything for you. These last few months of the year are going to be jam packed with home styling projects and family photo sessions (and a little vacay sprinkled in there...). Don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter to stay in the loop. 

Later!
