Thank you, Katherine!

Sadly, we had to bid adieu to our fantastic, talented summer intern, Katherine. In her short time at MGP, she helped us move into our new space, prepare for the new collection's arrival and organize our random thoughts and notes into tidy spreadsheets.

Thank you so much, Katherine, for everything!

Oh, and we love the tote you made with MGP scraps:

Sneak Peek at the Mod Green Pod Studio

Our Boston studio is in an old piano factory in the South End neighborhood, so we’ve got lots of neat original features like wood floors and exposed brick and this large metallic door which we’ve adorned with swatches of our patterns.



















Here’s a peek at some other corners of our office.

Wallpapering our new office

Part of the fun of moving into our new office earlier this summer was decorating it. We knew we wanted to wallpaper one wall to give the plain white room a splash of color and pattern. We picked Butterfly Jubilee wallpaper in Licorice/Earl Grey and we’ve got before/after and process photos to show you how it was all done.

Jose did a great job wallpapering a wall in our former studio space so we asked him back. We suggest using a professional to install Mod Green Pod wallpaper. The first strip goes up in the middle of the wall and he works from the middle outwards.


















In addition to lining up the pattern during installation, Jose also cuts the paper to fit around awkward utility pipes and electrical outlets. All Mod Green Pod papers require trimming to 27” width before you install them. We recommend using the highest quality cellulose paste.














Almost done!


















The final result

Sprout Collection update

Now that we have tracked down the perfect, domestically grown and milled organic cotton canvas, we are in the final stages of production for the Sprout Collection. Many of you have already requested swatches. We plan to send those out as soon as the fresh bolts arrive in our Boston studio. It should only be a matter of a few more weeks! If you'd like to pre-order swatches or entire books of swatches, you may contact us or fill out the downloadable pdf order forms on our website.

We're very excited about the new prints and can't wait to have them in stock, just in time for fall decoration projects.
