Slowly but surely I am getting things done in my booth. While I hope I recoup the money I am spending to decorate it {I’m trying to keep costs down}, I guess you have to spend money to make money.
Recent additions include this dress form {for display only}I got at Christmas Tree Shop.
For $59.00 it seemed like a good investment. It is wearing one of my embellished adult aprons and I also hung some totes off the shoulder. She fills one back corner and brings a little bit of height to the space.
I also found this fold-up tray table at the local antique mart for $35.00 {also for display only}. I didn’t have to do anything to it as it was already black.
This is pulling double duty, too, by holding things on top, but I also used the two handles on the side to display a couple of tea towels.
I also decided to do an inexpensive treatment using wide burlap garland. I found the burlap at Hobby Lobby and just put some screws in the wall to swag it on. Using some rubber bands I did poofs on each end.
I think it makes for a nice effect. Plus it covers up some of that white wall space near the top of the booth.
I am just waiting to get a couple of bi-fold doors off my friend Sue and, once they are painted, they will be put into place. I hope to have that done next week. I’m also looking forward to our community garage sale here the weekend of May 3rd to find some furniture pieces that I can paint up and get in the booth. Hopefully, I’ll have more progress to share next week.
It is looking wonderful. I love how you have draped the burlap, that really helps to give the space interest. Hugs, Marty

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteWOW your space looks great. You have really done a lot. I want to come and shop. LOL~~ I see some wonderful treasures here.
The burlap wall garland is a great idea to fill in. Years ago I did this with tulle when that was the look. I love the burlap.
