Trip to Dallas #biztrip #treasures

Aug 11, 2013 - 0 comments
I think Kasey and I are finally getting the hang of the "rotation" of our lives. Stock Austin Gift Company, fill customer orders, set up for Wimberley Market Days, then finally hit 71 Main on the way the Plano Antique Mall in Dallas. And repeat!!

20130810-124229.jpg While I am in Dallas, there are certain honey holes I always have to visit. Uptown Country is one of them. I picked up three chairs for a great price. Can't tell you how many requests a week we get for chairs. We have a customers request log and I am consistently on the prowl for you! I found old wood drawers to make in shelves and some items that will be a surprise!

Pastel colors go with almost anything (in my opinion) :) these cute little hooks could hold keys, towels, jewelry, backpacks...just about anything. Very sturdy and ready to hang!!! $18 each! Measures about 8" x 6"

Ok, there could so many DIY hashtags in this post. Chalkboard paint, old shutter, repurposing...multi-functional magazine rack or recipe holder or a place for kids art work or Christmas cards ....I will leave you alone now to let your DIY creative juices work. Upcycled Shutter $40 I posted a picture I sent one of our faithful customers when I was making her shutter. Look at all the choices she had:)

Shutter Shelf #upcycled #shutter #diy

Turquoise Shutter Shelf $40 I have a house full of boys...boys that want to touch everything. Keeping items on the back on the toilet seems to be a problem for these little hands. The towels disappear and the air freshener becomes a gun. When I hung my shutter shelf, all the little incidents stopped. I was amazed. Now, to conquer laundry.

Lamps can complete the perfect room you have been working on forever! The older lamps have so many details. I wanted to have all different shades, so on the tall seaside colored lamp I decided to keep the original shade and upcycle it. I cut off the fabric, tore it into strips then tied it around the metal frame.. Then used left over lace to create a layering look. I like it...but yet no room for it:)
