Sneak Peek of New Shoppe Cube Wall

 
 Aside from the fact that I feel as close to pneumonia
as one could feel today.....
I did make some progress in redesigning the
Shoppe walls.
I'm nothing if not tough.....or crazy?
 
One corner is going to be all various shutters from floor to ceiling,
while another is old grey weathered barn wood.
 
I still have a lot to go on this wall of of old crates,
boxes, and drawers,
but you can see the direction  it's going.
 
I also need at least twenty various sized boxes and such
to complete the wall and "round" the corner.
 
Maybe tomorrow :)

 
 
I'll share the whole wall as soon as it's completed :)
 
Thanks for stopping by today,
You know I love it when you come.

Busy Much??? Burlap Ottoman, Lace Chairs, & Rag Lamp Shades

This week has been a slow week at the Shoppe....
I just happen to think it is the lull before the storm ,
as this time of year people are starting to take a deep
breath getting ready for the holidays.
 
I don't waste a minute of my downtime
because Canton is always calling and
I also need new items for the store.
 
I finally completed two ottomans that had been
sitting around for longer than I want to share.
This one has a feminine ruffle....
 
 
 
While the second one is a little more tailored.
I love them both.
 
 
Now, I share this chair because it is one that I completed
over a year ago with it now living in Houston.
I show this so no one thinks I have jumped on the ban
wagon covering chairs in doilies.
I sometimes do take other people's ideas and
tweek them to my items and materials,
however, not this time.
 
 
I followed my own lead and upholstered this
Queen Anne in laces and doilies.
It is such a different style chair,
but I love it just as much as the first one.
 
 
The lamp shade, however, is an idea I saw in Austin.
French Laundry had many of these and I was smitten.
I just had to make one of my own.
 
 
More projects await me today.
I just don't know where to start...
 
Thanks for stopping by today,
You know I love it when you come.
