Okay, some of you might have seen me post that my office is moving into a new building. The bosses found something they really like. It's not bad, but I think it definitely needs a new paint job. They did the inside to something similar to this
complete with crappy stenciling and dark mahogany floors - which i like - instead of tile. our studio looks like this currently (click on Tour pelase)
http://www.studiogdesign.comTwo bosses (the PM and bookkeeper) want to keep the faux paint finish and stencils. The AD (also a boss) wants to just paint over the stencils in the meeting room but keep the foyer in it's current style. He thinks that our paint colors will go well with the caramel-colored faux finish. I think that it will most likely look like crap unless we just repaint the whole thing. The Big G (big boss) is out of the office for a bit, recovering from surgery, so i'm hoping that he will agree with us artists/designers that we need to brand the building. The bosses just think we are being picky. what do you think?
i know i'm not a boss and paying for it, but just the thought of having any of the existing paint makes me embarrassed.

great, so now everyone can eat off me? How can I argue against having any of this "tuscany" (i know, i know, there's nothing tuscan about it) look to our office?

oh, btw dobs, in the studio g site, if you look at the third photo in the office tour, that guy is the one I refer to as "Dumbass in the cube next to me" Fucking hate him.

Mayo ask them if they can decorate the office shabby chic, with like white painted wicker and dried flowers.

yeah, i did get to ram my elbow in his stomach once though (after the thing he did that offended me). It was at a Ministry concert and I gathered a bunch of people to go. Was in the moshpit when Stigmata came on and he did something to piss me off so i elbowed him hard in the stomach. He said, "What the fuck was that for?" and i shrugged, saying, "we're in a mosh pit."

thanks blaw. Ralph asked what the new office was like and I used a term he came up with that just fits this place so well, "Reno Elegant." Which is a sad, sad thing. ;(
