by MBIP


We continue to add to the remodeling and redecoration here at MBIP World Headquarters, Mach IV!

Scroll down to see the latest additions to the new Headquarters!

The Joan Jett Office Door Installation By Tom From Technicraft!

Tom Whalen, owner of Technicraft Graphics Firm, has returned to install a Joan Jett poster onto our office wall to add to the Joan Jett Dining Room that he and Nate put together the other week.

Tom wasted no time and sprung into action and before you know it, there’s Joan Jett on the office wall!

It was amazing at how quickly this went up!

Here’s a shot of the back wall, this print really pulls the whole room together!

How cool is this? Chelsie Tamms from Lettering Works designed this print and she did a wonderful job as always!

If you’d like to wrap a door with an image or artwork, get hold of Technicraft and find out how easy this can be done. Plus this material can be taken down very easily when and if you need to switch it out.

The Urban Refrigerator!

Now it’s time to spruce up and decorate the MBIP Kitchen Area. I thought I’d start with the refrigerator and came here to Urban Artifacts, your one-stop shop for fun refrigerator stickers, art and magnets!

As I walked in, I ran into Jon Walker, who owns this wonderful shop along with his wife, Angie. He told me to feel free to browse and take some photos, so that’s exactly what I did!

I found a lot of fun things to fix up the new MBIP Refrigerator!

Here’s the before and after shots of the fridge!

This is a close up look at the fun stickers and magnets acquired from Urban Artifacts!

My sister Terry and her husband, Phil brought me a little pot from their trip to New Mexico, so I put it in this place of honor!

Thanks Terry and Phil, glad you made it through customs with this!

——

The Rest Of The MBIP Kitchen!

I’ve got pictures and art in place in the MBIP Kitchen and Tasting Area.

This is the biggest kitchen area I’ve ever had, it’s very spacious!

Over the sink is a framed piece of art that my brother Jim drew years ago. It’s John Kay from the band Steppenwolf.

There’s also mini posters of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Guns N’ Roses. So there!

Here’s a sampling of some of the art on the cabinets hanging overhead.

This wall features vintage Playboy covers from 1969 and a wall collage with celebrity mugshots and the Goodfellas painting given to me from MBIP Wheelman and Pal, Scott Turley!

And last, but certainly not least, a joyous Xmas ornament from my friend Blondie in South Bend, Indiana that hangs at the end of my kitchen cabinets! Thanks Blondie, I think of you every time I look at this!

Next up to be decorated, the MBIP Bathroom and Office space, stay tuned!
