Here it is…my Cowgirl/Red Licorice Kitchen. Whew! That was a lot of work and it took longer than planned because we had family reunion slap dab in the middle of my project, but it was a nice break, so I’m not complaining.
WOW! We had a great opening day and now we get to rearrange the store because we sold a couple of big pieces of furniture. Yay!
I was able to meet a few of my blog followers in person, which is always fun.
And of course we played with the paint…
I can’t wait to see everyone that plans on coming tomorrow.
WooHOO!

The warehouse is filling up with pieces waiting to be ReDesigned. Here are a few of them…
I have spent the last couple days changing out my “girly” booth to reflect more of the French Market Style that I love. As some of you might already know, I have multiple design personalities and they frequently fight with each other. Sometimes I try to mix them all together and it works, other times it drives me nuts. Currently, I have my “guy” booth and my “girly” booth.
This is my “French Market Style” booth. This style might be confused with Shabby Chic, but it’s a bit more rustic in it’s color palette. It’s more burlap than lace and a little less delicate.
My ReDesigned
“Juliette” bed turned out amazing. She is perfectly imperfect.
So that is a glimpse at my girly side and here is the other side…
Rustic ranch with warm tones, bright colors and funky cowboy junk.
That’s me…eclectic to the max.
Y’all have a great weekend and good luck junkin’

I have expanded my booth at The Tavares Antique Mall to accommodate the ever expanding amount of loot that I score. I brought in more goodies today and did some rearranging, which is a never ending process for me.
My style is so eclectic that my multiple {design} personalities start to fight with each other. Most of the time they work together but last week they were definitely at odds with each other and nothing turned out the way I wanted.
My junkin personality won out today when I was able to score all kinds of off beat, quirky and slightly unusual things. I typically don’t look for the precious antiques, as I prefer oddities and things that you have to ask what they are. I like mantiques and vintiques a little more than Fenton and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Anyhoo…here is the lowdown on today’s LOOT!
A Super Funky Vintage Box and you ask what for?!?
What else but your Wig…duh!!!!
I love this Vodka Decanter/ Dispenser. It would be fun in a Cowboy -Wild West theme bar.
and everyone needs a light like this one for their bar
and a lamp for their Jetsons House
Tom Torrens Lamp
Decanter with music box that play "How Dry Am I" and this one is pretty dry...
Vintage Sign for Mint Shnapps
Cig. Roller
Good ol' junk Cabinet
full of…well what else…good junk, including these Destash Jars
Green & Yellow Destash Jars
okay… some of you might not get the destash jars, so let me try to explain…to destash is to get rid of all that stuff in your junk drawers. So a destash jar is…you guessed it… junk in a jar, lol. More specifically… color coordinated, silly junk in a jar. It makes a really cool and visually stimulating conversation piece. I used to make them all the time with buttons and jewelry findings, but I love the quirky junk that you find in these.
Anyhoo…gotta run…Have a great week!
Mine is off to a good start, yay!

I found this really great distressed church pew and I knew exactly where I wanted to put it. I didn’t measure it, but somehow I knew that it would fit and it just barely did. It was meant to be mine. Thank goodness, because I didn’t have anywhere else to put it. Now I have to relocate the prints that are above it. The one thing about being an antiques dealer is that your house decor is constantly rotating to different places every time you bring something else home, lol. I think I am going to do some very un-churchy wall decor above it. Maybe an old honky-tonk concert poster or a saloon sign to show some contrast.
Look how perfectly distressed it is! I like having odd conversation pieces in my house and when my 18 year old son asked “is that a church pew”? I knew that I had hit the nail on the head with this one.
Updates…
as for the progress on this weeks to do list…
well I got everything sanded, but no painting occurred thanks to the rainy weather. Maybe the weekend will be a productive one.
Y’all have a good one.
