Behind the Scenes with MODE Media for ACE Hardware

If you follow my Snaps, you may remember back in May when I was in LA for a day and a night with a film crew and may even recognize some of the photos below… I worked with Sabrina Soto and S Squared Productions and MODE Media on a “webisode/ad” for Ace Hardware / Paint Studio where we DIY’d a new mirror to look antique to create a great speakeasy bar cart moment and pulled together a bright and cheery guest bedroom based on summer and fall fashion looks. With home decor and fashion ideas to inspire, it’s definitely a must-watch if you have a few extra minutes.

It was a whirlwind trip and a super fun day of work and just recently I saw the video pop up on my Style page… but as of last week, it wasn’t yet linking correctly and now I don’t see it back. I do hope they didn’t pull it, because it’s a fun little piece. Eventually though, I’m thinking it will end up on the top of my sidebar… right there to the right {or if you’re on your mobile device, at the bottom of the page/end of my posts}, where the MODE TV widget is playing and it sways WATCH THIs.

But until then, here’s a little look behind the scenes of our shoot…

We filmed the DIY Mirror Antiquing outside, where there happened to be another film crew shooting across the street. Oh, LA.

Hopefully the webisode/ad will pop up soon and if it does, watch it! And then let me know where it’s showing up 🙂

Happy Hump Day Lovecats!
