[@MsKeywe]

Hey Kayla you are doing such an amazing job with your business and balancing home as well. GOD bless you and your family. I wanted to suggest to you for decorating the wall space next to your inventory room where the outlet is up high . I can envision a smart TV mounted on the wall there and your pictures from the latest season’s collection cycling through on the tv screen. Or even your business logo and inspirational quotes. I think that would give a really nice vibe and a SWEET MASONRY touch.🥰💕🙌🏾🫶🏾

[@t.spencer7176]

I worry about you letting people come pick up products from your shop. I’m a mama bear and very protective. If you do, please make sure Marcus is present.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Hi love!! It’s been going great so far & Marcus is ALWAYS there with me for pickups! 🫶🏾

[@t.spencer7176]

Great! That warms my mama bear heart. 😊

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

@@t.spencer7176 you’re so sweet 🫂

[@mandywiles3655]

Love this comment. ❤ great idea !!!

[@ericarn88]

I agree ❤ I’m glad Marcus is always there with you but people are so weird and I don’t want anyone creeping up on you while you’re alone. Another mama bear here

[@inspiringyoutobecompletely9948]

Also gets security cameras for the front back and inside of the store and office for protection and have pep-a spray for security also ❤❤

[@peggynorton5535]

I love the colors. Please be safe. Put your inventory count on the outside of your boxes next to the name of the item. Easier than having to reopen boxes to count !!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thanks hun! Great idea 🌼

[@mochacondulce]

In love with your space girl!! ❤ Everything looks so warm, cozy and just perfect. Tip from a seasoned marketer: Emails, emails, emails and SMS. Also, run a Christmas in July sale to get rid of 2022 items. Lastly, start your campaigns half a month out. So Summer in April/May, Fall in July/August, Winter in October/November, and Spring January/February. 😊 This way you are parallel to the stores and can compete better. 🙏🏼

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Lol, I try not to blow up peoples emails lol!! I only send one when the collection is about to launch or to do a restock alert. How many times a week/month do you suggest in between those emails?

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

That’s always the plan to release earlier like the stores do but sometimes I’m still waiting on inventory to come in 🫶🏾 I also loveeeeeee the idea to do a Christmas in July sale !! Thanks for the tips hun ☺️

[@creallyreal]

This is excellent advice! Marketing is the name of the game, and absolutely necessary for growth. You have to discover what the sweet spot is for your target market, how often you need to put your products in front of your customers to pique their interest and stimulate buying, without causing them annoyance at how often your "advertising" (emails, etc.) pops up in their mailboxes.

[@kimberlydotson969]

Hey Kayla great video...small suggestion it would be nice to put positive/inspirational quotes in the frames using the same colors you suggested...Also a large peg board with shelves would be good for your tools, supplies, etc. .giving you more room on your table when packing your orders

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Ooooo!! I like that idea a whole bunch 💓

[@jeaniceanderson]

I love what you have done to your office so far. I can't wait to see the rest. If you don't already, please make sure you have security cameras in your office space before customers pick up their orders. ❤

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thank you so very much hun 💕 I can’t wait to show y’all the final product!

[@jeanetteramos3527]

Nowadays must be covered in every aspect sad but true good advice.

[@dls0519]

Backsplash is cute. Get a simple, basic tool and first aid kits for the office 👍🏽

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Great idea!!

[@louisehudson3650]

Kayla, you look great and I enjoy seeing you smile. It just lights up the whole room. I'm also proud of you working hard to get everything ready for your store, just continue to take care of yourself, please!

[@julianne089]

You might consider a pegboard for your packing tapes and scissors etc. ( even your pretty tapes) I bet you could find one in one of your pretty colors. For the bubble wrap and anything on a roll you could diy a stand with rods that you put the rolls on and roll out a piece and cut. You can store a lot actually and it makes it really easy to use. The framed logos in your colors would be really pretty and professional 😊 For the popcorn you might get a big plastic tub with a lid and an ice scoop and it can just scoot under the table when not in use... Edit to add: oh you might try a paper towel holder and put the tapes on that

[@smorris9138]

The welcome mat serves as advertising in that space, so turn it the other way. Come up with a way to identify people coming by to pick up their orders so you will be safe or arrange a separate pick-up location.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Hey hun! I did but I think I cut that part out of the video. I can’t remember since I filmed this so long ago lol 🫶🏾 Yes, we have the pick up situation settled. The spring collection launched last week and the pick up orders have gone very smoothly with the way we have it set up 💕

[@karenjohnson2577]

Idea for wall in kitchen area- ombré or rainbow with you colors. Wall on office- medium sized circles randomly placed with your company colors. I know whatever you do will be great. To take pics of your products, put a retractable clothesline in your office. When ready to take pics, pull it out and hang your backdrop so that the items can sit on your table for the pic. No floor pics needed.

[@user-lx8uw3vp3c]

Your “Teacher” will always show! That’s a “Good Thing”

[@837pri]

Everything looks so good. In your packing room over the tables, you should put one long row of floating shelves for more storage and/or you should blow up pictures of your decor items to keep the memory of your first roll-out items. The back wall in the kitchen area would be pretty if it was all corked board. For photos, ideas, inspiration qotes and etc. Hope these ideas help. CHC ❤

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Right!! The more storage the better 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@patriciakoumoundouros5507]

Office looks great! Here’s a couple ideas for your stickers and your tissue paper get yourself some towel racks and drape The tissue paper over it and then for your tapes run the bar through it and you could actually put that all in front of you and have it off of the table.❤

[@March12007]

I think you should spell sweet masonry out using the colors as background for each letter. There are 12 letters in the brand name so I thing that would be perfect for 12 frames.

[@ericarn88]

Oh that would be cute in the kitchen area!

[@Achickfromharlem]

Love it! Maybe tape off the table in shapes or stripes and make them your branding colors.

[@blessedforever1]

This vlog was so enjoyable. I'm loving this series. Be sure to install security cameras inside and out if you haven't already. I know all will continue to go well for you and Marcus. Have fun working!

[@virtuouslady5679]

I am so proud of You and Marcus. A young couple with ambition...You both are meant to be.😊

[@MrLovette31]

Nice office, you could put up frames that tell your story of opening your office and those who were there from the beginning. That would be cute.

[@rhondarhonda9688]

Hello Mrs Kayla; Good evening! Well done! You've accomplished alot of work. Like the colourful display of different pens selection in the office & table mat on the office tables. Happy Thursday! 23/3/2023 London UK 🇬🇧

[@deadsetondreams1988]

I know this is older but for the frames, you could always do 1 bigger one and have each branding color, color-blocked inside of the 1 big frame, if you don't want too many or just for the kitchen area. I think a bunch of frames for the office would look cute. And the fact that even your outfit matched your office was great 🤣

[@ShesRondaMarie]

I’m loving the office. The lit candle stick on top of the cloth table worries me a bit like forgetting to blow it out or bumping the table. I seen people use a tape roll dispenser where you can hang multiple rolls of tape on it and pull the tape and tear it off. Can’t wait for part 2. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

🫶🏾 thanks love! The candle is really just for decoration. I only lit it for the video 💓

[@normajoskenbeamora4747]

I WATCHED THIS VIDEO, BETWEEN BREAKS, WORKING HARD AT HOME 🙂

[@missxealaneous7713]

Love these longer vids, Kayla. Kind a feels like I'm just chillin with a friend. You get me so motivated to clean and organize. So I do what I need to while your vids play in the background. Keep doing your best. We love it!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Awesome! Thank you! 😊

[@tiffanytorres6353]

If the dining table is only for dining maybe get a small cute bistro table. Now that spring and summer stuff is out you could probably find a set for inexpensive. For the packing peanuts, you can get a cute garbage can with a lid or cute pet food canister with a scoop that can slide under the packing table.

[@angelagoins9384]

I love your videos, they inspire me so much! Just an idea for your back wall that you moved the shelf from --- how about creating a "backdrop" area so you can do "live" shows and be able to showcase your product to people through FB/IG/TT? :) Also, I would get a thin larger mat that looks like your circle mat to put under the branded mat and it would really pop!! :) I just love your office and I know you are going to be so excited to work in there!!!!

[@sikejae]

I’ve been waiting for an office decor vid! It looks so cute! I definitely wanna see that table painted tho 😭😍 I know it will tie it all together

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Right! I feel like that is the missing piece 😂

[@keedinah]

I'd do canvases instead of picture frames. Love the idea of 12 different colors with your Sweet Masonry logo. 🥰

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Love that!

[@keannaprice]

Oh the canvases would be dope! 👌🏽

[@gloriamathews6452]

All I can say is so proud of you and Marcus and much success in every area of your life. Also, please be careful regarding letting people come to pick up products from your office. We are living in some crazy times and please be careful. 👍❤

[@laverncage54]

REALLY ENJOYED SEEING YOU DECORATE. YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEAUTIFUL IDEAS YOU ARE SO TALENTED I CAN'T FORGET HUBBY HE IS TOO. BE SAFE AND LOTS OF LOVE 💘 💕 ❤️ 💖 😍

[@riahdollxo]

Loving your space and the new spring/brand additions! I think I peg wall from IKEA with all the little containers would be perfect for organizing your office space. It would clear up your work space as well. Another space saver is like to suggest is a tape dispenser for your stickers. They would still be on display but also super convenient to use!💗

[@nellmurphy3028]

Hi, there I love you and your hubby. Dear, you have an innocent voice, it draws people. Keep up your good work.

[@robinz.6556]

Everything turned out great! I love your office space. Go ahead and manifest that thing! You could very well be in stores one day. May God continue to bless your business.🙏🏾

[@niecybaby1960]

Girl you know I love long videos! You could do a 2 hour one and I’d be right there watching. Yeah, I think you should paint the table. I missed marshmallow in the video. Love the Spring collection. Don’t overdo it ok. Much love and keep them coming.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Will do!! Thanks for watching love ❤

[@heatherrodriguez474]

Take the plug switch cover off and put a new tile down that’s cut closer! Also on that back wall behind the sink you could make a shelf to take photos of your products.

[@starletmitchell5466]

Thanks for sharing this, Kayla! May you have Blessings ✝️ on Blessings ✝️ with Sweet Masonry.

[@Annj97]

For photos/backdrops I would face one of you chairs towards the door for better lighting and drape the back drop over the chair, take the photos from sitting position on the floor, know what I mean? With your back facing the door so the natural light is at your back, but also hitting the backdrop and chair for straight on light for your product photos! :)

[@MsGetemboi]

Have you ever thought of getting a cute stand-up paper towel holder. And use it to hold your rolls you have on your desk. I think it's the tape you put on the packages 🙂

[@katsea17]

Put floating shelves on the wall by the kitchenette. You can decorate and it could be practical.

[@butterfylov344]

I love that you been matching your decor items and your business color scheme! It's so cute! ❤

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thank you!! 😊

[@bloomingelegance9916]

the picture wall would be super cute and creative

[@GTD356]

Hi Kayla... Idea for your rolls of tape, hang a removable bar/rod on the wall above the to hang your tapes.

[@zoegrei]

You can also get one large frame and ombré the color’s possibly from creams/browns to sages to pinks then add your brand name on top.

[@tarataylor1743]

Kayla everything is lookin great. Please be safe. People are crazy but I know Marcus don’t play about his boo

[@zesty8360]

Hi young lady business, I will suggest you stain the table and chairs in a color/s that goes with your floor. I love the warmth the wood tones are bringing to your space. If you already painted them, not a big deal. Your updates are cool.❤

[@Jenna1814]

I have a suggestion for something small you can put on your wall. Anyone of them it does not matter. Have something thanking God for the blessing of having this store. Even if it is just in your office. This way you can always look at it & know God is with you.

[@shontayharrell4850]

Your space is looking good and I like the way you incorporate your brand colors.

[@msnandimarie7023]

Excellent job. I'm amazed at your stamina. You are such a great organizer. That's your years of teaching. I enjoyed the entire video and even watched nearly all the ads. Take care and stay blessed. Connie from California.

[@tonyathomas66]

I was thinking that you could get another mat and Marcus could make a frame for it and you could hang it on the back wall. 🤔🥰🥰. You got a lot accomplished.. Great job Mrs. Chatman❤.

[@2swtdee]

I know you seen this a 1,000 times but please be careful with in person pick up because People are weird and sometimes their true intentions aren’t pure. Good luck on everything the office looks great. ❤

[@lenitabruno5736]

Loving your Sweet Masonry makeover!🌷🌷🌷

[@itsallaboutperspective3183]

Consider mounting Peg boards with hooks & baskets 2 hold label rolls, tape & other things.

[@cajuncutiepie334]

Get a decorative outlet plate to change that one out too and it will cover any mishaps

[@noni0083]

I agree with the Native deodorant, the Peach one is my favorite. I've been using this since after having Breast cancer 3 years ago my doctor recommended this brand. Also Kayla be careful bout allowing local pickup, another KZbinr did this and a subscriber took her life. She sold Indian health products. This happened a few weeks ago, she allowed ppl to Pickup products as opposed to keeping that needed boundary by using post office box todo business. Safety First 🙏

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear that 😢

[@TheMajesticKnight]

I was just thinking about this, yes be safe Kayla and Marcus!

[@jeanetteramos3527]

Always love watching you so pleasent so happy for all you do. Your wedding was so beautiful made me cry 💯🌹🙏

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thank you so much 🌼🌼🌼

[@soniamoreira5003]

Hi there. I think it would be cute to have pictures of your favorite items you had in your store for sale. That way you can always look back and see what worked great in your store and it would be wonderful décor. Since you are going to have local pick ups too it will be nice for your customers to see past items. Just my opinion.

[@NelshaBurtley]

Sage table cloth will definitely pop. Congrats on the success and everything else that you have going on.

[@terridiaz7386]

Love it Kayla. You really worked hard & got it together. I didn't care for the candle lit near the paper flowers just in case, you never know or if it fell over on cloth tablecloth. Just my thoughts. I love Marshmallow area, She needs a rug to lay on. You get rid of some of her over flow Toys bringing them to the office. Everything is working Out. I was thinking of doing Back Splash in my Kitchen & the under cabinet lights. Love it How did the under cabinet lights works? I bought Stick on Lights for my panty & coat closet for extra light. Now you need to Rest honey. Iretta "Terri" Diaz

[@chlochlo97]

For the kitchen wall I think you should get canvases spelling Sweet Masonry to take up the wall space

[@aliciaquintero2565]

Love this blog, inspired for spring cleaning.

[@sheznotrushin]

Maybe do the picture frames or canvases on the wall behind the dining table area.

[@ellagainous9504]

[@ThePamperedBaddie]

For your tape you can get a paper towel holder and put them on there

[@yolandalofton9967]

I purchased a riser for my kitchen, so cute and it came so fast . I love love love it

[@kellid3496]

Hello. I’m a huge fan. Loving the look of the office space. But I can see a peg board on the wall which would free up the tables abit. There’s so many way to set one up to make it functional. Just a thought. I pray all is what you hoped for😘

[@katsea17]

They have a sage green color wallflower plug you should get that. You could probably just exchange the black one.

[@purplehaze6195]

Stand up Paper towel holder for the rolled SM sticky tapes

[@barbarasmialek8789]

Get 12 frames in the same color and then spell out SWEET MASONRY with 1 letter per frame. Have the background in 12 different colors and the letters in the other 12 colors of your brand. Just a thought.
