Our First Stockroom Sale is Scheduled for...

/

THIS FRIDAY

Friday, October 28 from 10 am - 6 pm

And if you’re reading this blog post you get 10% off your first purchase. Just mention this blog post and the discount is yours. Thank you for following us and supporting us. And, you can also feel great about shopping local at a woman owned business. High five to that.

We’re so excited! We can’t wait to show you our space and send you home with lots of goodies. Let’s get right into the details.

Location - 590 Main Street in Lynnfield. We are located on the 2nd floor (above the convenient store). There is a glass panel door in the middle of the front of the building with a sign for “Nikki Martin Team” (real estate group). Head through that door and up the stairs. We will also have signage for that day to help direct you.

Payment - Cash, Venmo or Paypal accepted.

Returns - All sales are final.

Clearance Treasures - We have a large bin of nearly free stuff ($1, $2, $3 items) for your to shop. These are items that are minimally damaged, that we ourselves got for free and want to share the wealth or that we can’t use for our projects for one reason or another. These are sold “as is” and like everything else are final sale.

Preview - We will be previewing sale items all this week on Instagram . The previews will first show up in our stories and then be saved to our highlights for the week.

Pre-Sale Purchases - You can purchase any item from our preview in advance of Friday’s sale and simply swing by on Friday to pick up your purchase or our inventory specialist, Julie, to arrange pickup (julie@grayoakstudio.com). Please DM us your order and as soon as payment is received the item is officially yours. We cannot hold items without payment.

Delivery - If you live in Lynnfield or Reading, we are happy to deliver your purchase for an additional $3. Please notify us at the time of purchase that you would like it delivered.

Large Furnishings - We have a bunch of large furnishings for sale in addition to decor. We will also preview these items on Instagram. But we want to share some details now so you can measure for the perfect place at home! Not only are these items discounted from the online retailer prices, but you don’t have to pay for shipping. Double whammy.

Seagrass Side Table - $480

 
 
 
 

We used these nesting side tables in our Fern Project. They are beautiful and quality. It’s two tables in one that allows for so much flexibility in a heavily used space of a home. We also have the table lamp (below) in the Stockroom and ready for sale.

Below is sneak peek of our Norden Project! This photo is hot off the press. A styled image of this little table that we love so much. And if you love the art, you can find it here. It’s from our not-so-secret source for art: a book.

We also have a dining table, an ottoman, several sconces, a flush mount light fixture, a half dozen table lamps, the perfect mirror for a small entryway and a gorgeous oversized piece of art. And then, of course, all the decor you could hope for and a lot more. If you have any questions at all, please email us at hello@grayoakstudio.com

We can’t wait to see you there!!!

Modern Coastal: High v. Low Budget

/

Let’s talk Modern Coastal - that sweet spot between clean lines and lots of texture. Streamlined without being overly stiff or extremely minimal. A healthy but restrained approach to rattan/sisal/jute/seagrass. It’s all the bright and airy, blues and naturals without feeling like an actual beach house.

We thought it would be nice to share two versions of a modern coastal living room. The concept is identical, we just found budget-friendly items for the second version - it’s a copycat room.

Rug / Accent Chair / Leather Ottoman / Blue Side Table / Wood Side Table / Pendant Light / Floor Lamp

The great part of the dupe room below is that you could go all in and save a bunch - or you can mix and match, splurge and save. Pick some pieces from above and some pieces from below. The idea is that you can make the room work for a big range of budgets.

Rug / Accent Chair / Leather Ottoman / Blue Side Table / Wood Side Table / Pendant Light / Floor Lamp


What other style rooms would you like to see? New Traditional? California Casual? Rustic? Moody? And what other kinds of rooms? Dining room or Primary Bedroom?

Happy shopping and happy transformation!

Big Announcement Time

/

We have lots of juicy updates for you and it’s about time that we share them.

First, Gray Oak Studio is happy to share that Leah Hook is taking on the new role of CEO and continuing her role as Principal Designer. And, she has already grown the Gray Oak team with two new design assistants who you will meet on Instagram one of these days! Always check the stories. The stories have the good stuff. AND, there’s more, Gray Oak has a new social media manager, who is responsible for the amazing reels that you’re hopefully enjoying! But, don’t worry - it’s Leah responding to your comments, answering your DMs and writing all the disarmingly witty captions.

One more new hire that cannot go unmentioned is the addition of Leah’s dog, Ginny, to the team. Ginny has humbly accepted the role of Sofa Tester.

 
 

While we are incredibly excited for this new chapter, we want to take a moment to wish Sonia the best in whatever comes next.

Next up on the list of announcements: We are moving. You may have already learned this through spoilers on Instagram stories (again - stories are where it’s all spilled). The move will take most of the summer as the new office is renovated, then furnished, then inundated with fabric samples. As soon as the lint settles, we will share our address…which will be important…more on that in a minute.

We also previously mentioned the addition of a new design service on the horizon. The horizon is here and that new service is Bookshelf Styling. You asked for it (and then asked more) and we’ve finally put together a plan that will be fun, personalized and add that “wow” factor to your home. The details are on our services page (scroll down!).

And last, but maybe best, we are going to let you shop our stockroom…monthly. No more waiting until the once a year Tent Sale only to realize it’s on the same weekend as your cousin’s bridal shower. The plan will be to open our stockroom to all the decor lovers one set day a month (hypothetically, the first Friday). There will be a regular section of all the decor we use for our ongoing full service and bookshelf styling projects and there will be a “tent sale” section full of deeply discounted items. As soon as we’re settled in our new space, we will share the details.

To be sure you get the latest info when we share our new address, start booking new Bookshelf Styling services and schedule our first stockroom sale, subscribe to our blog.

Thank you so very much for following, supporting and being here.

- Leah and the Gray Oak Team
