Our Office Gets a Facelift

Over the past few summer months, we've decided to spruce up our space with some stylish additions.

No more patchy paint. And, what’s that? An adorable new tray and a white loveseat from Joss and Main. We think they will pair nicely with our Mad Men-style bar cart, which is on its way!

To keep better track of our worldwide blogger outreach, we added a fun cork board map and used multicolored sewing pins to give it a 3-D effect.

Staying true to Uptown PR's brand, we added accents of our signature chevron with pillows and a chic, new rug.

Why stop there? Samantha got creative by painting the orange and white globe canvases that are behind Genevieve’s desk.

Whenever you get a chance, we suggest you add some life to your workspace. Fresh white flowers from Whole Foods added a lovely scent to our cozy office and brightened our workweek.

From Uptown PR’s office to yours, we hope you’ve been inspired to get a 'facelift' of your own!
