An Epiphany! or wait ~ was it just Pinterest?





I found the trunk last weekend at the Salvation Army and I was so happy, I about peed myself.  {channel Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, after seeing the Opera.  Yes.  I was just about that happy}  I had to Have it. And I knew that it Had to be incorporated into my 10 foot wide by 6 feet deep holiday bazaar space that I am participating in November 3rd.

My mind has been conjuring and storing random tid bits of what I wanted my selling space to look and feel like.  and then, yesterday, I was hit upside the head with an Epiphany.  Well, it was either an Epiphany, or a luckily timed cruise through pinterest where I saw a pallet headboard and the Vision was found, and the rest is what you see above.  Although, in between the rest, I had to run as fast as I could past Rhett thinking it was a bad idea, hurdle over a male co-worker trying to convince me cardboard would work just the same + be way easier [Men], throw myself as hard as I could into charming a man with a truck to let me borrow it for 35 + 25 minutes so I could go secure myself some pallets, and pierce a dagger through my fatigue to get 'er done.  But I did it.  And I'm damn glad I did. :) Still much to do, but I am loving where it is going..

If you have any suggestions, likes, don't likes, please do let me know!
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  XO  -m-

I LOVE this! It looks amazing, you've done such a great job so far! I think you should definitely see if you can find another trunk to keep the frames in. I love the vintage feel of trunks and you definitely have that vibe going on here. :)

It looks beautiful!! In response to your questions: if you have them, I would add more to the backs of the pallets- sell what you can! I wouldn't add lace to the pallets- you don't want to distract from your masterpieces and pallets are a huge look right now! I love the drawer- adds more character! Good luck!!!

This space looks amazing. I would buy anything you put in there just because it was displayed in such an amazing fashion. Way to go, friend.

Looks great! Would you mind e-mailing me where teh bazaar will be? I have a feeling my sister in law is either selling her stuff there or will want to go check it out (she lives in Portland).

This looks awesome! Honestly, I love the pallets without any lace. The "M" is awesome and I love love love your frames, that TRUNK! and the suit cases. You could so do window displays. I'm excited to hear how it went!

Amy Franklin said...

LOVE it!!!! We want a trunk just like it, have been looking on craigslist....wish us LUCK:-)

Because Shanna Said So said...

I love it already!!! You have such an eye for this stuff! And yes, I think you should add some lace over the palettes, but don't cover them up too much. And I think more glam glass...love the piece you posted on IG. And if you can, yes, hang frames on the back!! You got this!!
