Hello Yellow!

Hello all!  Hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We took a short break from creating things for the Barn Show to go to my hometown to do a little shopping and a little visiting. A few weeks (or months, I am not sure) I mentioned adding a new color to my favorite greys and blues that I always lean towards in painting furniture.  And, I have since painted the inside of a buffet this wonderful color, but I hadn't found the right piece to paint the exterior this cheerful shade until now.... it was inspired by these flowers that I am currently obsessed with...

I took that inspiration and toned it down a little to remind me of some of my favorite tweed-y suitcases.... then I asked a dear friend who is a lover of this shade to help me name her...

Meet Daisy!  I think that the pop of yellow is the perfect accent to so many spaces.  And, it also goes well with another one of my favorite things....

Vintage maps!  These are from a vintage atlas that the Mr. found recently.  Daisy made her way over to Rebecca's last week.  I did a little bloggy tour of her shop last year here. Rebecca has been carrying some of my smaller handmade items for about a year now and recently she asked me to bring in some furniture as well.  I was thrilled!  I adore her shop, so I was flattered that she wanted to carry a few of my pieces.  I am working on another piece to go there later this week and hope to get a few more finished after the Barn Show for her as well.

This week we are working on more stuff for the Barn Show... maybe I will give you a sneak peek of a few of the things that will be making the trip.  And, we are also finishing getting Hazel spiffed up to make the trip as well.  Right now though, I have a date with some dishes and then with the hyena to go pick out some library books (ie play with the giant train table there.)

bye for now!

Bloggy Tour: Rebecca's on Main Street

Hello all! How is October treating you?  Great, I hope! 

 Today I want to share one of my very favorite area shops, Rebecca's Furniture and Design.  Rebecca's has great furniture and accessories... new and custom with a vintage feel.  Beautiful finishes and great upholstered pieces... great farmhouse tables and lighting.

She carries the full line of Dash and Albert rugs (which I adore... and one day will maybe install the runner on the stairs that we bought over a year ago!)

She also has Pine Cone Hill Bedding (ladies... my duvet is white with a tiny ruffle border and is so, so soft!)

Well, that is enough talk... see for yourselves (and check out the great bones of her shop.... hello exposed brick walls)

Drool, drool, drool!!  Did you spy some Vintage Junky designs in there *wink*

So, if you are ever in this area, stop by!

Okay, that is all for today... I hope to be able to show you the completed bedroom sometime this week (with my duvet that I got from Rebecca's!)

Bye for now!

ps... this isn't advertisement... I just adore this shop and wanted to share and Rebecca was kind enough to let Mr. Hughes take some photos one day.
