Alex I have the feeling you just saved me a ton of money. I was actually looking at their site to purchase the paint. I agree with your philosophy on people vs decor. However we need the decor inviting enough that we can seed that section of the space with people. Our bigger challenge is

Thanks, Hasan. That's helpful info. I'm curious if spaces have policies about receiving personal versus business packages (not sure how that could really be determined, even). Hauling everyone's Amazon boxes and Blue Apron doesn't feel sustainable. Up to now we haven't offered mail service for
