The beauty of having a shop
I am one of those crazy people who loves to re-arrange
....anything!
As a kid I loved to rearrange my bedroom. There wasn't a ton I could do with my twin bed but I tried every possible arrangement. I clearly remember walking into my friend Alex Arnold's house one day after school and her mom was in the midst of painting their living room kelly green, god how I wished she was my mom that day!
In the past when this urge struck I would get to work in our home re-working the wall art or furniture arrangement in one room or another. I have even been know to repaint the dining room before having dinner guests.
The great part of having a store is I have a place to
put all my design energy. After spending a quiet snowy
day re-arranging the store I am quite pleased.
Today I moved the wood cubby candle holder on top of a vintage trunk and rolled the blanket scarves so they are peeking out. The top row of cubbies now holds the Fairfield Roadie cups and the pom pom hats found a new home in a 2-tiered wire basket on top.
The black and white enamel topped table got re-worked
as a desk or vanity with a metal stool. I love the use of the
3-tiered basket as a catch-all for desk supplies.
The secret is to keep going until it feels right.
It was a good day.

The distressed tin urns got relocated up on top of the dresser and filled with dried cotton stalks...a fresh new addition to the shop.
