Hey all! If you follow my personal Instagram or Facebook page for Kat Curling Design Co, (Which you should if you aren't already because you like me enough to read my blog right?) you've probably seen me mention that I've been revamping the web site for Kat Curling Design Co.  over the past two months. If not, well now you're up to speed haha! Well in my last post  I mentioned that I'm on the cusp of taking the plunge into full time freelance life! Eeek! I'm pumped and equally terrified of course, but I've been prepping mentally and business-wise for the past few years to be honest.



To get to the point, there will be lots of changes here on the Gypsy Beard Studio blog. When I opened the brick and mortar Gypsy Beard Vintage shop two years ago, the idea was to have all of my adventures under one name; a Vintage Shop & Design + Photography Studio. It just made things easier and it made sense since I was operating everything under one roof, so my design work and shop all merged under the name Gypsy Beard Studio. The blog, for Gypsy Beard Studio became a collection of shop happenings, design work, photo shoots, business tips and personal posts. This worked for a while, but when the brick and mortar closed down (still crying a bit over it, not going to lie) it no longer made sense anymore. The direction of this blog has been a bit scattered since. Is this a blog about a vintage shop? Or a design studio? For a lot of readers, its probably a bit confusing.

Since closing the shop I’ve been working to differentiate the two businesses online and in my head. I knew that launching two individual web sites and defining my social media accounts was a must. Gypsy Beard Studio will remain the vintage shop & blog where I'll continue to share lovely shop things, markets & pop up events, vintage inspiration, fashion, style and more. There will be some major "cleaning house" going on here though. My new Kat Curling Design Co. website AND blog that I’ve been working diligently the past few months to launch will be the new home for my design work, photography and freelance/business adventures. *Insert Champagne Toast Here*



So if you've enjoyed following my design work or photography please head over to my new blog and be sure to follow me there! Also, tell me what you think of the new Kat Curling Design Co. home! Pssst! You'll be the first to see it as it "soft launched" this morning!
