We Still Do!

A modern wedding renewal announcement created with heartfelt wishes.

Home Gig created these custom wedding/vow renewal invitations for Lorraine and Adam Filomeno in celebration of their 20 year Wedding Anniversary and Vow Renewal Ceremony.

Since the theme was simple - “Let’s Celebrate Marriage” Home Gig had carte blanche to create a custom invitation package for this blissful couple. Using the bride’s ‘happy” colors, purple and fuchsia,  we created a custom monogram for the invite which is adored with flowers and embellishments. Each invitation is inserted into a handmade fabric envelope with matching purple liners and wrapped with a purple chiffon belly band.

Additional suite items for the event included  ~ ceremony programs - seating charts - table numbers - place cards and menus 

Nothing is more inspiring than a real life love success story- this makes Home Gig love what we do! Happy Anniversary Lorraine and Adam ~

Fashion on the fields with Home Gig

The first Saturday in May is one of Home Gig's favorite traditions – watching The Kentucky Derby. We love everything about it – the horses, the hats, the people, the fashion, the mint juleps, the roses, the action, the stories behind the horses and the jockeys. Home Gig will be cheering on the races and celebrating the Sport of Kings and thoroughbred racing this Saturday!

At this year's Kentucky Derby, Boston has a horse in the race : Wicked Strong, named in the wake of the Marathon bombing, will donate 1 percent of his winnings to The One Fund:  #BostonStrong

Happy Halloween from Home Gig

Here’s What’s Brewing at HOME GIG

Pumpkins are carved, grapes have been harvested, outdoor showers are turned off, wood has been stacked, spiced cider is on, costumes are queued up, and treats are prepared. We’re welcoming back the fall seasons wonderful aromas, beautiful colors, and biting breezes with open arms, how about you?  

October has been a thrilling month for Home Gig’s creative services. Our team has been working with our new clients– Every Soul and Off The Coast on brand development and marketing campaigns. There’s just something about helping people translate thoughts, visions, and ideas into great branding designs that gives us that warm fuzzy fall feeling.

Every Soul is a trendy, fun, and colorful beaded jewelry and accessory line created for and by every soul. We’re excited to be helping this start up with their creative marketing needs, including creating their logo and some some promotional marketing materials and were proud to show it off! Be sure to check out their featured skull-shamballa bracelet if you like Halloween, like US you will love this.  Skull beads + Shamballa style = awesome! The beads are made with Howlite, which is an extremely calming stone, said to relieve anxiety, tension and unreasonable anger and encourage patience and selflessness – Namaste we say!

Off the Coast is a women’s apparel line created as a homage to the spouses of the U.S. Coast Guard aka “Coasties”. Located on Cape Cod, this line will be the must have for Coasty wives and women alike. We’ve created the perfect fun bright and fresh nautical logo for them.

Here are some of our favorite memories from Halloween

Home Gig wishes you a happy and safe Halloween. 

"All Things Corduroy"

Corduroy textiles conjure up a number of connotations: for many of us it is the adorable Don Freeman picture book “Corduroy”, for some it is the fabric of a dependable work pant, or the name of track 8 of Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy, or grooved slopes of the freshly groomed ski slope. For others among us it is the velveteen ribbed texture that reminds us of the annual transition to our autumn wardrobe. Regardless of our personal associations, what makes the original corduroy textile unique is the way that it is both a luxurious velvet texture and a durable, inexpensive product at the same time. At Home Gig, it seems to us that it is precisely this dialectic quality that draws our attention to all things corduroy.

Home Gig recently had the opportunity to work with architect Dave Johnson of Skaala, LLC, and Bob Stafford and Mark Ellis of Carpenters and Co. to oversee the production of a design story on the “Corduroy” House to be featured in an upcoming edition of Martha’s Vineyard Magazine.

Day of the Shoot:

By the time photographer David Welch arrived to set up his cameras at the house for the photo shoot, Home Gig was ready with fresh cut flowers in hand and our car full of photoshoot essentials. Throughout the day Lauren was constantly on hand to finesse the details of each composition. Her experienced eye was able to direct the shoot to capture the interplay of light and shadow that runs throughout the dynamic space and makes the home a true architectural artifact.

The residence, dubbed “Corduroy House” early in its conception, combines the elements we love in vernacular agrarian architecture — shed roofs, exposed structural elements, reclaimed wood materials — seamlessly alongside a commitment to thoughtful architecture that takes advantage of long vantages across the space.

We were reminded again of the dynamic quality of corduroy when we met Lilly Croning at the Featherstone Reception this past week. She was spotted in a hand sewn ensemble she put together from thrift store finds. We never cease to be amazed by the transformative properties of human creativity and corduroy!

What does corduroy mean to you?

September: What motivates us at Home Gig

Maybe it’s because September is the start of a new school year and that gets embedded in us, but I am all about renewal at this time of year. The air feels crisp and I feel motivated by the smells, the color, the light, the shadows, the cooler temperatures, and new opportunities for Home Gig.

What we’ve been up to

Traditionally September has been the time of year when we like to fill the days with photo shoots. As the summer comes to a close, the crowds have thinned out, and the light and sun offer us the best conditions for a successful shoot. We have been working with photographers David Welch and Frank Rapp producing photo shoots and editorial content with Martha’s Vineyard Magazine and Yankee Barn Homes, while putting the “shine work” on various real estate projects on the South Shore and on Martha’s Vineyard.  From staging & event preparation to various home projects, our team has been hard at work this summer.

Home Gig is excited to see our production and staging efforts reach the international market at Trends Home and Architecture Magazine. Eric Roth photographed this Hutker Architects designed home, which was previously featured in Martha’s Vineyard Magazine. Our work continues to amortize its marketing efforts and this motivates us even more.

Reap the Rewards

This summer Home Gig planted an Organic Victory Garden. It’s proven to be a real Victory by providing us a rich harvest of tomatoes, Concord Grapes, pumpkins, watermelon, and squash.  A labor of love, we feel fortunate for these natural gifts. I see Home Gig jelly/jam and Home Gig tomato sauce in our future.
