A Look Inside the Shop

Hello hello!  


Now it feels like the beginning of a new year since kiddos are back in school this week and life gets back to a fairly normal routine.

Today I want to share some long overdue photos of things I've added to the shop.  Lots of things have come and gone over the past few months and in early December we celebrated the 1-year anniversary of our opening!

Here are some of the latest additions:

Do you remember these twin beds?  I blogged about them here almost a year ago.  They got sold, and then they found their way back to me because the girl that bought them is moving out of state.  Anyway, there are two and they are painted gray with gold accents and finished off with liming wax. These beds are very good quality - solid oak.

I also have a pair of these French armchairs that I painted, lightly distressed and reupholstered.

This is an old dresser with Deco details and the original brass hardware.

Solid cherry French dresser I painted in a soft white (Ben Moore's Lancaster White). Can you tell from the image that the drawers have a pretty curve?

This is a pair of porcelain jar lamps in teal.  The Chinoiserie pattern is slightly raised and reminds me of wisteria.

I love these simple gold-framed mirrors.  One is good, three is great!

An assortment of black & white items.

And I just sold this vintage cart - but it was so cute I wanted you to see it! The top had some water damage so I decoupaged and antiqued a street map of Chattanooga over it.

Also, stay tuned for my latest project, a matching set of antique bombe chests (which are currently disassembled all over my dining room table).

Feels good to be back in the groove, doesn't it?

A funny thing happened on the way home from the airport

Hi kids! It sure feels great to be back at the blog! How was your holiday?  Incredibly, my youngest is still out of school.  Someone at the Board of Education had the brilliant idea to tack a winter break on at the end of the Christmas break, so they don't start school until Monday.  Just how many trips to the mall am I expected to endure?


On Wednesday morning I dropped the husband off at the airport for a business trip and then took the dangerous ride back home.  Dangerous because on the ride home I pass by Harbor Freight Tools, Hancock Fabrics, Tuesday Morning, the Wallpaper Warehouse store and two good thrift stores. 


My first stop was Harbor Freight, where I got a few packs of these sanding sponges.  Are you familiar?  I love them because they're pliable and you can easily sand chair legs and oddly shaped surfaces.  And you can rinse and reuse them when they fill up with debris.

You can get a pack of these for $5.99 at Harbor Freight Tools.  Everywhere else I've seen them they were priced at over $2.00 per sponge.

My next stop was Hancock Fabrics.  After taking a quick tour of the fabric displays, I headed back to the remnant table, where everything is $5 per yard.  You may have to dig a little, but you can find some pretty good stuff here.

There were about 3 yards of this black and gray ikat.

and less than a yard of the same pattern in green.

Some pretty floral fabric

I'm pretty sure this is the Dwell Studio/Robert Allen pattern whose name escapes me right now. They had 3 yards of this in one piece .

And the find of the day!  Some remnant pieces of Riad from Windsor Smith Home.

I got 3 pieces totaling about 2 1/2 yards for $5.00 per yard.

And finally, I made a quick stop at my favorite thrift store and got this pretty painting.

Not bad for a drive home from the airport! 

 I'm so happy to have you back here!  I have tons of projects coming up, new arrivals to share from the shop, and progress reports from Project Dollhouse.  

Squeeee!  It's going to be a great year!!!
