When my brand Club & Court was born, we were unsure of where or what our office space would be. Boxes littered our first floor until the idea of converting our garage into an office came to me. Due to the age of our home, built in the 1940s, our cars never fit in the garage, so we built a shed to store tools, bikes, lawn equipment and more.
The conversion began with a visit to the design center where I found the most beautiful green and white (signature C&C colors) Dorothy Draper lattice wallpaper which I knew would be the perfect back drop. Carefully selected shelving and bins from IKEA were chosen for inventory storage along with a few pieces for storage and packing orders. A giant bulletin board from Ballard Design, previously in the kitchen of our old house, was unearthed from the basement.
I grabbed the West Elm Parsons desk and Bungalow 5 chair from my daughter's room, (I replaced them with a beautiful chaise lounge that she loves). The yellow floral sofas were a purchase from Chairish during the pandemic which I had planned to recover and put in our family room however we pulled them out of the shed for a photo shoot a few years back and I realized they were too beautiful to be hidden away waiting for their new life.
The final touch was a beautiful tennis photo given to me by my dear friend and photographer Rachel McGinn. Then, before our eyes, the office came together perfectly to mirror the timelessness of the 60s, 70s, and 80s; the embodiment of the Club & Court lifestyle.
I hope you enjoyed this behind the scenes look at how Club & Court came to life, from a family garage to a now growing women-owned business.
