I Wish I Could, But I Can’t

Happy Friday!
Today I had planned to show you my  home office space but I cant!  It is no shape to make a debut on the blog.
 The current state of my desk looks like this…

Slide1

and I’ve got fabric samples, my fall coffee table décor, centerpieces for an event and my treasures from Scott Antique Market all over the floor!

Slide2

I promise I’ll share the space with you next week after I get it cleaned up and organize, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this quick and easy DIY project I recently created for my desk.
Slide3
After painting my desk and adding a glass top, I realized that my computer mouse was not functioning well on the glass surface.  I knew I needed a mouse pad but didn’t want to buy one of those generic looking ones, so DIY to the rescue.
Supplies:
Cork trivets from Ikea ($2.99 for 3) and Decorative Scrapbook Paper
Mod Podge, Scissors and a paint brush
Decorative Washi Tape and/or acrylic paint
How to:
Trace the outline of your trivet on to the scrapbook paper and cut it out.
Using a paint brush, coat one side of the trivet and the back side of your paper circle with Mod Podge.  Place the paper on to the wet trivet surface and smooth out.
Once the Mod Podge is dry, you can paint the edge of your trivet with acrylic paint or cover it with decorative washi tape. And if you want, you can coat the top and sides with a final layer of Mod Podge to create a smooth, protected surface.
Let everything dry and you’ll have a fancy mouse pad for your desk, for less than $3.00!

I loved how easy and inexpensive this project was so I created three mouse pads that I can switch out when the mood strikes me.  I used decorative tape on the edge of two pads and painted the edge of the third.

Slide4

With the holiday season coming up, this is a great project you can do for girlfriend gifts or teacher’s gifts.
I hope you have a great weekend.  I’m off to get things cleaned up so I can enjoy the beautiful weather we’re suppose to have here this weekend!

Milk Glass on Display

It’s Monday!  I hope your weekend was a good one.  I stayed close to home a good part of the weekend (due to rain) but did have a little outing with my friends Tina from Encore Creations and Brandi from Do Not Disturb This Groove The three of us met at the Lakewood 400 Antique market on Saturday morning and spent a few hours shopping.  We didn’t score much but Tina found a vintage crochet set for $10 and Brandi scored a really cool wood display piece for cheap.  I came home with some vintage tassel jewelry (yeah!) and a really cool mini brass scale.  I was on the hunt for milk glass which led me to this post today….
It’s no secret that I love Milk Glass!  Even though my collection is relatively small at this moment, I’ve officially declared milk glass “my collection of choice” which helps to justify the purchases I make each month at the Scott Antique Market.  My long-term goal is not to hoard milk glass but to build a collection that would be worthy of a display like these that I admire so much.

Milk glass is an easy way to accessorize  bookshelves especially when they are narrow and you want to keep the look streamlined.

KariAnne over at Thistlewood Farms has the perfect setting for her milk glass collection…in her stunning dining room. I love the variety of pieces she’s collected.

This is my favorite way to display milk glass, with darker colors, woven textures and rustic accessories. The contrast makes the milk glass look even more spectacular.
I also want my milk glass collection to be varied enough that it allows me to decorate like this…

As flower vessels on a table

or a simple but elegant touch on the bathroom vanity.

Slowly but surely my milk glass collection is growing and I can’t wait to see what pieces I can add to it on my next thrifting adventure.

 

So who out there loves milk glass as much as I do? Or, do you have another type of item that is your “collection of choice”?
If you’re in the market for some, be sure to check my Etsy shop as I have a few pieces for sale and will be adding some more this week.

The Impact Pinterest Has Had on Me!

   I must admit I spend a lot of time on Pinterest.  Yes, I use Pinterest when I need to take a break from the computer or when I bored with TV in the evening, and I’ve been known to pin a lot when I’m the passenger on one of our road trips.  But Pinterest is also an online tool that serves are a source of inspiration for me, a resource library of design ideas, a personal coach that motivates me and a business tool that I use for marketing.

The INSPIRATION comes from all the amazing room images that helps me focus on a design concept, gives me a starting point for an entertaining idea or leads me to a product or resource that I can use.

Although this starburst mirror has been around for a while and is very popular, it took this image to really sell me on the idea of buying this piece for a dining room project I’m working on.

e60f0dc206853ec7376317967a9c57de

The IDEAS are endless on Pinterest and Pinterest allows me to see how an ordinary item can be transformed into something great with a little elbow grease and more often than not a little paint.

This image got me thinking about how I could turn a simple black mirror into an elegant wall décor statement.  I love the addition of the gold inner rim and the embellished gold corners.

I have seen and admired these embossed metal pieces at Scott Antique Market every month and now I have an idea of how to use them.

This image has given me the idea of buying a super cheap silver-plated coffee service and spray painting it gold.  Isn’t this set so chic!

My DESIGN LIBRARY is full of beautiful room images and DIY projects that will keep me inspired and creating for years to come, thanks to Pinterest.

I have a four-poster bed that I felt was dated and no longer useful but this picture gives me a different perspective.

4768449cf2c246870aad5247cb295f04

The next time I working on an office space or trying to sell the attributes of a small space to a client, I can refer to this image and will definitely recommend a bold desk color, dark walls and an eclectic mix of art.  So beautiful & captivating!

When I see images like this I am reminded that it’s the little details that make a space come together.  I adore this wishbone and how it adds an unexpected touch to this coffee table vignette.  I have one on order and you can order yours here.

No longer will I send a card in a plain envelope…I’ll put my DIY skills to work and will add a pretty piece of decorative paper to make my note really special. Here’s a tutorial I did on creating lined envelopes.

a20303060b5853011bcc5296304ba7a3

While it may seem like an unlikely SOURCE OF INSPIRATION, if you are like most people on Pinterest you have a board where you pin inspirational quotes.  My Words of Wisdom board serves as a motivation coach, reminds me of what really matters in life and helps me set and go after my goals.

And finally, Pinterest has become a great BUSINESS TOOL and a way to promote my businesses and bring new followers to my blog.

One of the things I’ve learned in my life is that inspiration can come from anywhere.  Pinterest is one of my favorite social media tools and to me its much more than just a bunch of photos.

How has Pinterest impacted you??

What’s New in the Shop(s)

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!  My weekend was pretty low-key with lots of work, lots of creating and a little R & R thrown into the mix.
I had dreaded sitting down at my computer to update my Etsy shops but finally I got it done.  I’ve added a slew of new vintage finds , lots of new jewelry pieces and some fun paper products.  My little hands have been busy.
 Here’s a glimpse of what’s new…

I have been in a super creative mood the last few weeks  and it feels great.  Between design projects, making jewelry and vintage shopping, I’ve also been working on new clipboard designs.  You’ll see the new styles available in the shop by this weekend.
The week ahead is looking like a busy one with a couple of design meetings on the schedule, Scott Antique Market on Thursday (I didn’t go last month) and I finally decided what I’m going to paint pink.

 Cheers to a stellar week ahead!

Out and About: Shopping Palooza

Welcome to a new week! I hope your weekend was a good one. Beside getting a little work done, switching out my closet from winter to spring clothes and going to Scott Antique Market, I spent a fair amount of time out and about shopping and visiting a couple of stores here in Atlanta that have been on my list of things to do.
Here’s a look at my weekend from behind the lens! {warning, photo heavy post}
First up is my visit to Scott Antique Market on Thursday.  Despite not being in the mood to dig through piles of stuff, I did come away with a few treasures. I was also excited to see lots of new vintage modern pieces from one of my favorite dealers, Parker Kennedy Living.  David and Lance are two of the nicest people and boy do they have an eye for style and design.
IMG_5863
I purchased this beautiful bubble pattern Jadite bowl.  This is my first Jadite purchase and now I’m torn between putting this bowl in my Etsy shop or keeping it for myself.
IMG_5865
I also came home with this unique milk glass bowl.
      IMG_5881       This wood dough bowl was also a purchase that will be going into the shop.
 IMG_5873 These vintage cookie molds were old and rusty but I loved their charm.
IMG_5872
      This is the Mexican porcelain dish I got.  The colors and pattern were what drew me to this piece.
After doing a bit more shopping, I made my way over to the Parker Kennedy booth.  It was so refreshing to see the bold colors they infused their booth with this show.
April 2013 (1)
      These wood cabinets with rattan doors were pretty stunning.  I think they would look great in a beach house.
April 2013 (6)
      How about these turquoise chest?  I can totally envision a bedroom designed around these beauties.
 April 2013 (5)
This magenta piece was really stunning.
April 2013 (2)
April 2013 (4)This was my favorite piece in the PKL booth.  I adore the concave front, the dramatic green color and the gold accents on the doors.
April 2013 (7)
    Loved the whimsical feel of this flower mirror.  It would be pretty stunning in a bathroom.
April 2013 (8)
The color didn’t stop with the furniture at PKL, there were lots of accessories in fun vibrant colors as well.
If you get a chance to shop Scott Antique Market, you’ll definitely want to check out the Parker Kennedy booth.  You can also connect with them on Facebook here.
On Saturday I had planned to head back out to Scott’s but had a last-minute change of plans and decided to stay in town and visit a few stores and check out The Revival vintage market that was taking place. My first stop was Steve McKenzie’s.  I have wanted to visit the store for a while and after connecting with the owners, Steve and his wife Jill via Facebook and Twitter, I was excited to stop in for a visit.  I met my friend Dorothy at the store and I had a great time meeting Steve and getting a tour of his shop.
In addition to being a southeast showroom for Grange, Steve and Jill have created a beautiful store filled with modern and vintage furnishing, antiques, decorative accents and tabletop pieces. Steve’s custom fabric and furniture line as well as ceramic pieces from R Wood are also available in the store.
IMG_1741
Such beautiful chairs in a stunning orange fabric.  I loved the sleek silhouette and the back cushion detail.  Steve has also designed a sofa with this same detail.
IMG_1744
Here’s a line-up of some of Steve’s custom fabrics.  His new collection is also great and will be available soon.
IMG_1745
Love this cute little bar cabinet.  Perfect for a nook, corner or man’s office.
    IMG_1748
  Just a few of the accessory pieces available… vintage wine barrel lazy susan, R Wood bowl and a vintage jar.
      IMG_1746
    Such a cute chair!
IMG_1742
     This room within the store features a curtain wall in one of Steve’s fabrics and one of his original pieces of artwork.  And, those red globe pendants are to-die-for!
 IMG_1737
This vintage tulip table and chair set were given a new look with the addition of fabric mixing on the chairs.
IMG_1736
IMG_1740
    I wish you could see this antique table up close.  The carved wood base is so beautiful and the bleached wood (done by Steve) really gave the table a soft, weathered appearance.
IMG_1738
IMG_1739
      There is a wall of pillows in the full range of fabrics from Steve’s line.
IMG_1749
On our way out of the store I spotted this really cool fold up desk caddy.  The inside has cubbies for storing papers and office supplies, and when not in use the box folds up and can be stored or carried to another location.
Steve Mckenzie’s is a fabulous store that is open, airy and easy to shop.  And, I also love that there are items in all price points so the store is affordable for everyone.  I can’t wait to visit the store again.
Next on our stop was The Revival vintage market.  This pop-up market was a bit disappointing in my book. I had gotten the impression from the advertising that there would be a good number of vintage sellers at this market and there really weren’t.  Most of the products were handcrafted and/or up-cycled new pieces made to look vintage.  There was jus a sprinkling of true vintage goods  and the market felt more like a craft and artist market to me (see photos below).  Despite all that Dorothy and I took a spin around. I did mange to spend $4 on some vintage wallpaper samples which I’m going to use to make some of my designer clipboards so the trip was not a total loss.
IMG_1781
Wind chimes made from old tin pails and silverware.
IMG_1779
Framed vintage dollies.
I can officially check The Revival off my list and don’t think I’ll be going back again.
The last stop on my shopping palooza was the Westside Market.
Photo: Our New Sign is Up!! It's Official!!
The newly opened Westside Market is a collection of booths that sell Vintage Furniture, Antique Furniture, Lighting, Lamps, Decorative Home Accessories, Framed Art, Floral Arrangements, Chairs, Upholstery, Drapes, Pillows, Original Art and Bed Linens.  A little of everything.  The market has been open for about a month but has not had its official grand opening celebration yet.
I was glad to see that some of my favorite dealers from Scott Antique Market have opened booths and I hope that more will follow so that this market will become a true vintage shopping destination.  Here’s a look inside Westside Market…

Ok folks, that’s the end of the ride.  Writing this post has taken all the energy I have today, especially since my computer froze on me and I had to start it all over!  I hope you enjoyed my shopping palooza!
Lots on the to-do list this week including a bit more shopping at the Lakewood Antiques show on Friday.  I hope you week ahead is Fabulous!

Treasure Hunting: A Sneek Peek

Happy Friday!
Just wanted to pop in today and give you a peek at a beautiful piece I found while attending Scott Antique Market yesterday.  A woman standing next to me asked if she could look at it and after turning it over replied “that’s a good find”.  I did a little research and all I know for now is that it is a piece of La Cartuja De Sevilla porcelain.
I only spent about two hours at the market before I was overcome by an allergy attack and had to leave but I did find a few other good items and will be back Monday to share all my treasures. If you’re shopping this weekend, I hope you find some goodies too!

Check in tomorrow for a bit of inspiration and weekend reads!

Reflecting on MIRRORS in the Kitchen

 Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I spent a good part of Saturday shopping with a client and then came home and watched Argo.  Boy was it a great movie and so suspenseful!  I can totally understand why it won Best Picture.  Sunday the hubs and I ran errands, stopped in at a couple of antique stores and lounged a lot.  While my mind wanted to work, my body was in full R & R mode.
I’ve got a full week ahead with a trip to the Atlanta Merchandise mart planned, developing the new series of design workshops I’ll be presenting at a local retail store this month, shopping for several client projects and heading to Scott Antique Market on Friday.  It should be a great week!
Two of the design projects I’m working on involve mirrors in the kitchen so I thought I’d share a few decorating ideas with that in mind!  I just happen to think these ideas are pretty brilliant!
a mirrored backsplash; how cool! #hgtvmagazine http://www.hgtv.com/decorating-basics/creative-new-great-decorating-ideas/pictures/page-5.html?soc=pinterest

Decorating a kitchen with mirrors is not something that most people would put at the top of their list but the results can be stunning.

THE BENEFITS OF DECORATING WITH MIRRORS

*  Mirrors Enhance Light

*  Mirrors Make Small Spaces Look Larger

*  Mirrors add Impact and Depth

*  Mirrors Add Style and Design Detail

While Out Shopping…

Warning…this is an image heavy post but it’s all good stuff!

Despite lots of design projects, crafting and family visiting in February, I was able to sneak in a few shopping trips to some of my favorite and one new shopping destination.  Here is was I saw and bought.

I did go to the Scott Antique Market and was once again wowed but the incredible selection of furniture, textiles and vintage pieces available.

 Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (3)
A beautiful mirrored cabinet ideal as a nightstand!
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (4)
I  really liked this desk…the finish, the shelves and the hardware!
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (6)
Adorable grain sack tote bags!
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (5)
This massive entertainment unit is handmade right here in the US of A!  Stunning.
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (7)
While the antler look is not my style, I can really appreciate the artistry that goes in to creating a design around them.  These large antlers were used to create a fun centerpiece.
{Sarah, how about this a the foundation to a holiday centerpiece?  I can see the creative wheels in your head turning.  Coming to an Etsy shop near you???}
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (8)
Yet another fabulous ottoman style from one of the vendors.  Scott is becoming a great resource for unique and well-priced custom ottomans.
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (2)
I see vintage beverage crates all the time but this vendor had a huge selection of crates from bottling companies that I’ve never heard of before.  Most of these were priced between $20 and $50.
Scott Antique Market Feb 2013 (1)
This sign was plucked from an old diner and was pretty awesome. In the right farm-house style kitchen this would look great.

Mid-month I  finally made it to a vintage shop/flea market that I’ve wanted to go to for a while.  Here’s what I saw…

IMG_1249

Framed needlepoint art.  I admire anyone who can needlepoint like this.
IMG_1248
A vintage wool blanket.
IMG_1259
 Beautiful gold-rimmed plates.
IMG_1277
 This vintage pail was glammed up a bit with a burlap label.  So cute!  I didn’t buy this pail but I did buy some plain ones for $2.00 each that I plan to decorate myself.
IMG_1258
   I thought this old cigar mold would be pretty cool in an art studio or craft space to hold markers or colored pencils.
IMG_1275
 Vintage pie tins turned into unique mirror frames.
IMG_1274
 I am so loving this idea of using an old candelabra globe as a mini cloche.  I’ve always passed these up when shopping but now they are being added to my shopping list!
IMG_1268
 I bought these egg cups!
IMG_1263
I’m on the hunt of vintage clocks and one of these made it home with me.
IMG_1260
 Loved this metal feed pail.  I can think of a hundred ways to decorate with it each season.
IMG_1261
 I so wanted this antique chest with all of its amazing hardware but no go!

Next up was one of my favorite flea markets, which I kindly refer to as a dive.  This place is filled to the rafters with stuff,  a lot of good pieces and lots of junk.  The dealers at this shop are always bringing in new items so every time I go it’s an adventure.

Ikea Feb 2013 (23)

This hand-painted table was a great deal at $125 and didn’t last long.  It sold before I left the store.
Ikea Feb 2013 (29)
I’m coming across lots of handcrafted art lately and really loved these yarn flowers.  These would be a fun addition to a girls room or as part of a gallery wall.
Ikea Feb 2013 (28)
I have a thing for mirrors and loved this round beauty.
Ikea Feb 2013 (27)
This was a large original oil painting that would look great at a beach property or lake house.
Ikea Feb 2013 (26)
Incredible string and nail art.  I remember making these as a kid but nothing this elaborate.  I think this would look awesome in a study or man’s office.
Ikea Feb 2013 (25)
Such amazing chairs.  I could see these painted a fun, vibrant color with an upholstered seat.  They were already sold!

A finally I made a quick trip through Ikea.  I was happy to see that their new catalog is out and that the store is undergoing lots of vignette changes.  There were a few new items in the store but I’ve heard that most of the new pieces and new vignettes will be unveiled next week. Oh darn, I guess I’ll have to make another trip.

Ikea Feb 2013 (1)

The new catalog.  If you get yours by mail it should be arriving very soon.
Ikea Feb 2013 (2)
I posted a picture of this pillow on Instagram (@confettistyle) and shared the incredible price…$9.99!
Ikea Feb 2013 (3)
Love this coconut palm leaf basket.  It almost looked like a short animal skin.
Ikea Feb 2013 (5)
A pretty fab chair for a breakfast area or as an accent chair.
Ikea Feb 2013 (6)
I don’t need a desk lamp but loved the sleek style of this one.
Ikea Feb 2013 (7)
I can never pass up a piece that offers lots of versatility. Such a bargain at $14.99.
Ikea Feb 2013 (8)
I have a slight obsession with the paper napkins from Ikea and couldn’t resist these striped beauties. $1.49 a pack.
Ikea Feb 2013 (9)
These smoke gray goblets were stunning and at only $5.99 each a few had to come home with me.
Ikea Feb 2013 (10)
This black and ivory pillow cover is only $10.00.   It is a great weight and the pattern is so fresh and bold.
Ikea Feb 2013 (11)
For those of you that don’t know, Ikea has a fabric department where you cut your own fabric.  All the fabrics are $8.99 a yard and they have a variety of patterns to choose from.  The dots above are oil cloth and would be great to use as a tablecloth or upholstery fabric for kitchen chairs.
Ikea Feb 2013 (12)
This was a pretty cool abstract print.  I loved the black, off-white and green color combo.
Ikea Feb 2013 (13)
They have lots of traditional patterns too.  Bold plaids, mini stripes and wider awning stripes.  All of these fabrics could be used for stylish curtain panels.
Ikea Feb 2013 (14)
Ikea Feb 2013 (17)
Ikea Feb 2013 (15)
Some fun florals.

There is lots of color being added to the lighting department.  The paper lanterns would be great in a young girls room, nursery or in a casual sunroom.

Classic drum shades with a splash of color.

And finally some striped baskets that could be used as planters, magazine baskets or for toy storage.

All in all, February was a good shopping month.  Scott Antique market is just a week away and the fun starts all over again.

Have a great weekend and if shopping is on your list, I hope you find something great.
