Stone-Pfeifer, who trained as an architect before branching out into event design, sold off most of her store's inventory—home and garden supplies as well as furniture—and reopened the store in late April. In the small but flexible space, stone columns accent the concrete floor and wooden shelves, and an extensive chandelier hangs overhead. The light fixture, created for a recent TD Bank event at Skylight, is composed of several glass tubes and can be removed if necessary,
In addition to a sound system, track lighting throughout, and a wide street-level entrance for easy load-in, Tribbles Studio also offers an extensive collection of vases, candles, and other decor items that come included in the venue rental fee. Also available is on-site planning and design provided by Stone-Pfeifer's company.
