I'm a smart woman... and I know when I've been told something versus hearing a "suggestion"... I learned years ago that when a queen wants something you listen. Now my husband knows when I want something... he listens... it rolls down hill that way... :) So... when it was suggested that a lighter color paint would look better in our booth... I looked at my husband and said "lets get paint... next Tuesday work for you???" Neither of us blinked an eye. We both knew it was true. We just hadn't had time to repaint our booth when we moved in... February and March were busy months for us... and May just happened to be the perfect month for us to receive this "suggestion".
We spent the entire day today getting rid of the dark green that I actually liked but didn't go with our true antiques... and changed our booth to a rich creamy color that would bring out the wood tones of the furniture we love to rehab. It totally brightened our space and made our pieces pop. We're both excited with the finished product... and got lots of rave reviews from customers and the staff... we'll take that immediate positive feedback and say... thank you to all...
Speaking of rehab... if you subscribe to either our Facebook page or our Instagram... we totally brought back to life two Cosco chairs and a vintage typewriter stand... We put these in our booth last week and I was planning on blogging about it this week... but the stand sold this weekend... before I could blink... I'm excited to say we've got a second typewriter stand that I immediately told my husband to get to work on asap... if the chairs stay in the booth long enough for that stand to be placed in... I'll do my best to blog about them then... but I digress...
We've added a bunch of bird prints to our booth this week too... We love these vintage prints... they scream Spring... like the birds in our garden do when we are in it... music to our ears... I love fat birdies... I have them all over my house... especially flower frogs, but that should be another blog... there's something about birds that just make me smile and my heart sing.
Now... I've saved the best for last... the unveiling... here's our booth... today as we left it... no longer dark and green... but crisp and clean and creamy lovely... proving again... that it's always right to listen to a queen... thanks Stacey... I have always trusted your instinct in this industry. xoxo
