I’ve been busy Junkin’ Up the place…
One of the things I had to tackle first off was the lovely wallpaper in the dining and living room. I’m sure when the house was built it was charming, but that charm has worn off. In my haste to start working on the kitchen makeover, I had to come up with a quick resolve for making the wallpaper disappear. The magic trick for this? BURLAP. I love burlap and it has so many uses, including acting as a wall covering.

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.
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’

Vintage Trunk $225

Also, I changed the High Falootin’ booth @ the Tavares Antique Mall last Sunday…
French Market Style – Rustic Romance
High meets Low
I love contrast and mixing refined antiques with rustic pieces. It makes the stuffy pieces more inviting and the rustic junk stands out more when juxtaposed with the fancy stuff.
I will be posting more pics tomorrow when I have the chandeliers hung. I will be bringing in three big pieces of furniture this week so keep an eye out for more new stuff.
Hope y’all have a great day.

Due to my crazy, hectic life I have decided to combine my other blog “Will Work For Boots” and this blog, I hated to give up the popular topics that were on the other blog, so those topics will have a new home on this blog. On “Will Work For Boots” I did Texas Music Tuesdays, where I featured a different Texas Music artist each week. I will talk more about the Texas Music Scene a little later on, but for now I will just say that if you haven’t heard it, your missing out. Anyway…since I’m combining the blogs I figured that I would expand the Texas Tuesday theme and talk about all thing’s from the Big O’ state of TEXAS including…
Just to prove that Texas IS the style center of the universe, OPI has come out with a new line of Texas inspired nail polish colors. I need ALL of them, but I only ordered Don’t Mess With Texas and Austin-tatious Turquoise. Won’t they look amazing with my Gypsy Soule Flip Flops?

In case you didn’t know, I love burlap. I use it on everything because it goes with almost everything. Here is a cute little chair and stool that has been painted black, distressed and topped with my fave material…you guessed it…Burlap!
