Window Displays?
Why yes! Many of you already know that I have been designing window displays for Northwest EyeCare Professionals in Upper Arlington for quite some time now. It started while I actually was a receptionist there (I started that job nearly exactly 3 years ago in February of 2012... TimeHop told me so). My first window display was in March (I made my own rainbow...) & the Bosners have let me do it pretty much since (brief break whilst I tranistioned into a new job, had baby & life altering decisions to stay home etc etc). I LOVE IT!!!
- They give me a budget each month/window & I try to reuse items from year to year, purchase items that can be used from window to window & get CRAZY excited when I see an item while out at a thrift store or yardsale that would be perfect for one of the window themes....
- They pay me well for my time & effort shopping, crafting, printing, tearing down & putting up the windows :)
- It is a fun & low key creative outlet for me!
Since Blogging I decided to take pictures each month of my displays.... So I am very proud to FINALLY share with you:

Each Year that I repeat a particular theme the better it gets & it makes me proud. I am figuring out what does & doesn't work in the space, how to make the presentation more dynamic, where the budget money is best spent to make the display pop & many times what mistakes to avoid (see November's window... it needs more love next year lol) Taking pictures this year has really helped me look at and decipher where & how I want to amp up the displays for next year... So I am very excited to share this post from now on, on a monthly basis so that we can compare this next year's displays to the past.
What I want to work on this next year:
- Backdrops/better ones for each window
- Something in the upper space of each window
- Different yet still legible Lettering techniques (someday I want the lettering on favorite every year themes to be laminated for easy reuse... instead of having to print/make new letters each 1-2 years)
- Better Pics of the Displays
What are YOUR opinions? Which lettering do you like & why? Which Window is your Favorite!!! Any tips to work on my Window Display goals?
