PAPAYA! has been outgrowing it's previous warehouse and offices for quite some time now. Last week we moved to our new diggs! It's been a huge undertaking by everyone in our company and it as really paid off. There's breathing room for storage AND for each of our design styles. We all have our own offices and plenty of creative space! (That's my office up there)
Here's a view from our cool mezanine. We're hoping for warehouse parties with ghetto performances by staff and friends. But this view only shows half the warehouse room! So crazy. If it's raining we can have a semi pull INTO the building and unload inside. WHAT! I know right! (And please note my mom's obsession with chandeliers. Yep- that's some over the shipping stations. Theirs now a pink one over the center desk too. So now you know your orders are actually packed under twinkle lights!)
This is a sampling from our new designer Sarah's office (she also took these lovely photo's!) and Eli's space.
And the pink lair belongs to my Mother's office. All the rooms are still a bit bare since we just got settled in. 
But I'm sure it will get trashed soon enough. I'll post the mayhem when it arrives too. I'll share more from the design studio & Kathleen's hot pink cubby in the next post.
Congratulations on the new space! It's lovely...

I was in Durango this week in a wonderful shop: "there's no place like home" or something like that! Someone mentioned "Papaya" I I said Anahata Katkin & everyone in the store had a great conversation about how much we love your work. I bought the tin with postcards & love it. It is so cool that your success has touched so many of us out here in blogland!

Her photos look fantastic... fun post!
We need to re-shoot the ones of my hot pink room... the candid ones she shot were payback for making her model. ;)

beautiful!!! congrats!
i'm curious what you mean by "ghetto" performances? maybe not the best choice of words?

Oh my gosh, that has got to be the most stylin' warehouse around! Chandeliers! Your mom's got style. Actually, I really like the chair with the green paisley print she has in her office. And the curtains in your office are beautiful, too. You have a great eye! Congrats on the new space!

By ghetto performances I mean that that's our slum deck- it's the unfinished area of the warehouse and we are all sub par performers. It's literally a stage type platform. So some silly business is in tall order there. And knowing us it won't be polished.
Ghetto means ghetto. There's no other suggestion here.
