 I have so many things I want to decorate her with! So much fun to find things for her interior and exterior too!

     For the awning on the exterior, I am looking in to Marti's Awnings.  Still deciding on the color scheme for that... but I am sure it will have something to do with orange, yellow and turquoise.

Our interior... so bright and cheery!

Waiting on the curtains and cushions

So much to do and so little time!

Some cute stuff and the beginnings of my vintage decor

An awning for the front would be oh so cute!

    I had fun with a vintage pantone paint chip sample I found years ago...for the colors on the interior.  I was unable to find just what I was looking for in the modern paints so I brought the chip to the home depot!  I found that Behr paint worked best.  Dutch boy was way too thick. but we used it for the exterior blue and yellow stripe.  Thinking of adding a silver stripe below the yellow, and above the yellow... a pinstripe of ORANGE.  How delightful! :)

The long road home.

Happy Trails to YOU, until we meet again!

Warehouse Chic Style

My latest find!

Last week I traveled to Nada Farms Spring Boho Event!

It was a lovely evening!

My friend Mary Ellen and I began our trek heading through Dekalb, IL

While there, we found a darling little shop that was downsizing and moving across the street. Megan Morrison's was full of cute, fun, bright New and vintage items. There were some wonderful tables for sale. My eyes cast to a 9 ft vintage folding table in a chippy yellow patina. I had the sales gal pull the tag for my final purchase. Just as I began to pay, my eyes cast to an incredible industrial table.

6x6 inch posts, glass, bolts, wheels... LOVE !

i quickly switched my purchase to this one, thinking my husband and Son would need to help me pick it up in a day or two.

We took the trek on Sunday morning and picked it up, hoisting it out the front door and rolling it proudly down the street in Dekalb, home of Northern Illinois University.

Once home, we took it out of the truck and I had all intentions of putting it in my studio. I remembered a vintage set of folding chairs I had purchased years before. Wonderful, wood and comfy. I pulled one up and voila! I thought... Dining room table!

Our current table was round, I had thought of painting it white for many years... never did. It ended up being a pass through room and a catch all for all of my Etsy orders.

NOW it is a proud new dining room table, 2 weekends ago, I happened upon the vintage trough which I pulled from my supply room and added as an easy arrangement to the top of my "new" table.

What once was an industrial roll around cart... is repurposed!

Warehouse chic style at its best!
