My shop---grab a coffee

Awhile back - or when I originally started this blog I mentioned that I opened up a new SHOP in an antique store. I forgot to share the before & after pictures...sorry this post is loaded with photos...

this is the way the space looked before I moved in. This is my youngest daughter standing in it so you can see the size of it.

 

see how high the space goes up...

 

this was the left wall 

 

this was the back wall (close-up) 

 

this was from a different angle 

 

these are pics of my NEW space...

this is the right wall and my chalkboard wall 

 

Gotta tell you - I think I have more stuff marked NFS (not for sale) then I do things for sale. Sad....

But I was really jazzed about the way the space looked.

 

What do you think?

 

Making Do

As I posted on my instagram yesterday - I wanted to share a fun project I started one way and finished another.

2 weeks ago I went into a thrift store and found a sweet side table that was nice and sturdy and only 10.00 - the bones were good and I knew it just needed some paint. Fast forward to DIY day...

 

SO... I started sanding and was super excited to get painting when my husband pointed out

that there was a drawer missing...

 

OMG - I didn't even notice that. Great now what - I proceeded painting the table and kept it in my mind wondering what I could do with the small space there - It wouldn't sell with that gap so

 

 

 

we added a dowel and painted it the same color and added a small guest towel and wahh laaa...

 

 

 

A useful table that would work out well in a guest room along with the cute towel...

 

Pure sweetness wouldn't you agree?

 

I love when I make mistakes that actually turn out better then expected.

 

I am linking this up to the parties posted in my tab above.

 

Here's to making "HAPPY" mistakes.

 

 

 

Begin Again

I am ready to embark on a new adventure and am hoping that you will come along for the ride.

I have always loved making over furniture and DIYing different pieces of curb side finds into treasures for my home, so I decided to take it to the next level. I am opening up a small space in an antique store on December 1st....exciting and a bit scary but I am ready to dive in head first.

I am hoping to make this blog a collection of my projects - the good, the bad and the UGLY!!! As well as a journal of my finds, my personal make-overs and some silly funky-ness for good measure.

I will start blogging soon and my grand - opening will be December 1st.

Please visit often.
