more inventory!

wow, i am definately starting to realize this business stuff is going to be 24/7 work!  oh, i'm NOT complaining just sharing my realization. haha  i did manage to get up to the shop and add a few pieces we've gotten finished (YES, i must stop right here and acknowledge my fabulous hubby, Josh, for helping me finish off certain pieces.  without his woodworking skills i couldn't refurbish certain broken down items! Thanks a million honey!).

 

this piece is my current FAVE!  it didn't have that awesome wood trim around the top and the legs had damage where they meet the wooden part of the box.  hubby fixed it right up and i did a black glaze finish over the red "oops" paint from HD.  it stands about 3ft. tall and would look GREAT in any room.  i found the hardware at Hobby Lobby. love.

 

my painted random chairs usually are finished off with wording or an image on the seat part but this one, i felt, didn't call for that.  i could totally see this in an entry way or even a sun porch!

 

i scored these two tiered tables at an auction last week.  i actually got two of them.  i couldn't wait to refinish them so they were top on my list.  love the claw feet designs on them too.  i have them priced seperately up at the shop. :)

ok i have a few more pieces.  i will get a before and after done for my next post and i need to get a couple more pics of the table i refinished and took to the shop. 

 

have a creative day! :)


flea market day two

it wasn't the busiest of days but i was pleased with the final outcome.  would have liked to have moved a couple more larger pieces but they will sell in due time.  had many, many comments on my checker table but no sales...yet! :)

that is fine as i do have a few more design ideas to add to it. :)

 
  
many people commented on this chair and looked it over but it didn't find a new home either.  i understand that it's unqiue design would make it a little more of a selective piece so i am hoping that right customer comes along.

gearing up for another market come November.  in the mean time i have photo shoots, a baby shower and halloween costumes to get all figured out and dealt with. :)

flea market day one.

   was a great success!  loved the spot we were given, great people came through...always love chatting with friendly people! :)  i was barely able to grab a few shots of our booth before the doors opened.  things aren't quite in their places at this moment but you can see the basics of what we had to work with.  so wish we could have used the wall for items but there is a "no nail attachement" rule in this building. boo.  at any rate, by the close of the first day we had to randomly place things so it didn't look so bare.  a little frustrating for the decorator in me but a huge plus for the profit/accomplishment part. :)

fond a few things to add in for tomorrow.  hope it's another great day and turn out!

getting there...

this weekend is fast approaching and the rain is hindering my paint projects. boo!  i will make the best use of my time and get the 'little things' priced and ready.

 

just a couple quick pics to let you see what fun things i will be offering this weekend.  ok i gotta go pull out my sewing machine, gahh!

 

 

hot day!

so the heat came back...even if for only a day or so it's not wanted right now.  really, i have a HUGE list of things that need done and most of them depend on the weather.  hoping to break out some red paint in a day or two.

for now i will share this cutie mirror i snagged from a garage sale for a mere .25 cents!  pulled out the heirloom white paint, some black glaze and topped it off with a couple coats of lacquer.

before:

yes, there is little love here...we have the faux wood (plastic) and it's an eagle...woo.

nothing against eagles...they are very regal birds.  just thrown together with this dated faux wood design leaves little to be desired. but....

 

i think this breaths new life into this decor piece, don't you? :)

be back VERY soon to share more items i've refinished for my up-coming flea market.  here's a peak for now...

 
 joining in here;

 

if you are in town over Labor Day weekend...

stop in to the Flea Market at the fair grounds and see me.  i have a booth and will be in one of the two buildings there just inside the fair grounds. 

getting things priced and in order to be set up is tedious but fun! :)
