I am so thrilled to finally have a booth to call my own! What comes along with that, though, is lots of scrambling to get things together and into that booth. I mentioned that, when I signed up, I am paying rent for April. That means I want to get in there as soon as possible. Having only a few medium to small things, I showed you the stool and footstool I made over quick.
Thursday I ran out to the local antique mart {basically down the road} and went in looking for a table, a bookcase and whatever else I thought might work for display purposes, at a good price. This local place is great for “makeover material”. I found this table for $27.00.
Since I’m looking to get things ready quickly, I just pulled out my handy dandy Harlequin stencil and used it on the top with some Antoinette chalk paint.
I also found this drawer bookcase for $27.00.
Isn’t it neat? I repainted the shelves in Coco chalk paint, add a lace tape trim to the shelves, and added some of the Ballard Design script wrapping paper to the back.
Finally, I found this chalkboard. I could make one for myself, but this vendor has done all the work and it was only $16.50, so I picked it up. I’ll use this to put my booth number and name on.
My rug from Walmart came on Friday, as well, which was really fast! I’m thrilled about that because really the rug needs to go down first before I start putting stuff on the floor. Pictures to come soon! Just remember, it will be a work in progress. I’m looking forward to sharing the journey with you!

Good Afternoon Kathy, Gosh, how exciting for you. I love the partitions in the drawer, to make it work as a bookcase....that is a really lovely idea.
Good luck with your new venture.
Best Wishes

Fabulous, Kathy! I'm so excited for you with your own booth. They are work but so much fun. I had my best month in any booth last month...so glad I moved to the new space.
The that diamond (harlequin) table. YUM!

Great finds! Don't forget Craigslist for an old dresser or armoire! Great for displaying pieces and giving a shabby/Frenchy feel to the space.

Great finds Kathy! Your space will be filled up before you know it. I wishing I had just a tad bit more space. Enjoy your day, Gail

You my friend are going to ROCK it. How exciting, and yes you will be a busy little bee indeed trying to keep up with inventory!
I love all of them - but that bookshelf is too pretty for words!
Great finds - and can't wait to see your booth and all your treasures!

Looks like you are going to have a great space. I love the little table. Good luck on your new venture!
Amazing makeovers, Kathy, showcasing your unending creativity! I know that they'll be scooped up in no time!
I am so excited for you Kathy! I loved having my booth but didn't make enough money to justify it. But I miss it so much and thinking about some other brick and mortar selling venue. I had a really hard time finding display pieces for my booth that wouldn't take up much room. Looks like you did great! Can't wait to see it finished. xo
How fun!! Much luck to you in your new space :) I'll be getting to see my sisters soon, I know you must be so excited!!
This will be so much fun for you - the hunt is on...you are already off to a great start - can't wait to see pics!
Kathy,
That little table is so cute...sure it will go fast. I had a set of tables that sold in one day last week (that's how I like it). Took in a great old gym locker today...hope it goes fast too. Looking forward to seeing more pics of your space.
Blessings,
Linda
So many great things and great prices, the drawer shelf is fabulous! I wish you were here I have a great locking curio cabinet. You are so lucky you can use a rug, not at my shop!!
Carol
Wow--you have been busy! All your projects look great :)
good luck and have a lot of fun, kathy! your projects look awesome!
Congratulations, Kathy. I am so thrilled that you now have a location to sell all your great makeovers. I warn you though, it can become an addiction. LOL. Yes, definitely enjoy your journey. You will love making the space your very own. Can't wait to see your photos.
Looking forward to watching the new venture unfold. Angels to you!
