RH

So this morning I got the privilege to go to an interview at Restoration Hardware in Charlotte, NC for a sales associate position.  Can I just say how uh-mazing this company is?? They are team oriented, which to me, is so much better in a retail setting than just going into work and being focused on your own money and your own customers.  The store bases itself on four core values.

1.  People -- hence this is listed first.
2.  Quality
3.  Service
4.  Innovation

Since I am fresh out of design school this job or any like it, could be such a great stepping stone, or even HUGE opportunity for me.  Restoration Hardware seems to like to hire and promote within the company, but because they are having people interview shows that they do like fresh faces within the company as well.  RH and all it's employees exude itself as a lifestyle and does not limit itself as "just" a retail store.  There's that word "just", which I learned in design school was like saying "Voldemort" in  a world of wizards.  ;).  But in this analogy, I am using "just" in favor of RH.  I love how they are so much MORE than "just".  And, as most of us know, RH is known for their awesome paint colors and beautiful wall color choices.  I know this because my painted their bedroom a RH color.

If you find time today, take a look at their website.

Personally, I think RH is a collection of traditional and contemporary styles mixed.  Mixed in such a way that it all blends perfectly.  This might be because they use neutral colors in such a calming way, but also the chandeliers pop, the pictures pop, and then the rugs tie it all in together.
