This past week all kinds of ideas have been forming in my head. Do you do that? While sitting in your shop do you envision how to change this or that or how about just re doing the whole shop?? Well, I have one corner all set in my head and so this week we will be pulling things apart and and totally revamping, adding things here and there and changing the whole look....so stay tuned. Pictures to follow!
We've been very busy at the cottage lately doing special things for our customers like this....
There are six of these chairs all in great shape and the customer picked out the fabric. Really
love the way they turned out! She'll be coming in tomorrow to pick them up..........oh and the paint?? Old White, of course, from our line of Chalk Paint(TM) Decorative Finishes.
Tonight we finished a small vanity/desk in Emile. We decided to "dirty" it up a bit with dark wax and give it some character with some rubbing back.....
Then I worked on this chair in my favorite color, Emperor's Silk. I love these little chairs but what do you think? Should the lettering be facing you when you come to sit down? Wonder if it's a "do over". Still cute!
White shabby furniture is always in demand at the shop so we worked on these three .....
This week I will have pictures of our new area as it gets finished....thanks for stopping by!!
Oh some great things here- Love the chairs and I bet the customer will love them, too. Your "dirty little desk" looks pretty sweet to me.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your question about the lettering facing the wrong way. I did a whole set of chairs with the pattern backwards. When my kids mentioned it I told them it was their butt could read it while they were sitting- lol
Hope you have a great week-xo Diana
LOL!! Great way to look at that whole thing...!
DeleteJust beautiful Mary Kay! Maybe research online to see if you can find some other chairs with writing or even numbers to see which way they are facing. Looking forward to seeing new pictures of the shop.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you, Cathy! Hope you are enjoying the summer.
DeleteEverything looks so cute. It must be so much fun having a shop.

Glad you stopped by today ~ glad we brought you some fond memories....bot of our grandmothers had Alzheimer's and they both had songs that they loved to sing...wonderful memories!! Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteLove the red chair. I have a similar chair I found on the side of the street. I used a yellow polka dot and have a yellow checked seat cushion tied on. I might have to redo it to something similar to yours.
