Dinning Room

Hey there!  This past weekend our local downtown area had their Holiday Open House.  All of the amazing businesses participated and we were thrilled to be a part of that since our shop is now located in this beautiful area. I don't know about you but I absolutely love decorating for Christmas and decorating our shop was just as much fun as decorating our home.  I really wanted the Holiday decor to reflect who we are and what our shop is so I put a lot of thought into it. I really wanted to create a Christmas tree that was unique but vintage and industrial so I told my hubby to keep his eyes open on his picking trips for something that we could repurpose into a tree. He definitely didn't disappoint, though he never does.  I woke up one Saturday morning to find this sitting in the back yard. At first I thought to myself  'what the heck is that doing in the back yard?'  So, I asked him what it was for and he told me he thought it was the perfect Christmas tree...

Hello!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Our Grand Opening was a huge success and I wanted to share a few photos with you of the big day.   I was so glad to have friends and family there to take photos for me.  We couldn't have asked for a better day, except that I wish our oldest son would have been there to enjoy it with us.  Unfortunately, he had to work.  But I know he really wanted to be there. I really wanted to make our customers feel special so I thought refreshments would be nice.  Here I am getting the table ready before we opened the door. I have a friend who has a daughter who loves to bake cupcakes so I hired her to bake 100 mini cupcakes for our customers.  They were completely gone in a couple of hours.  I served apple cider, as well. We were completely shocked by the number of customers we had.  We were truly blessed. While my hubby is a genuine people person and very outgoing, I have somewhat of a social pho...

Hello!  Happy Friday!   We've been working practically round the clock to get our shop ready for it's Grand Opening Saturday morning and boy are we exhausted.....but it's a good exhausted, you know?   Anyway, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek.....   I love this night time shot because of the lights we have inside the store.   Speaking of lights.   When we first rented this place, we weren't allowed to do all that much, which was fine because it really is a fantastic building, however, the ceiling light fixtures were very outdated ceiling fans with those tulip shaped light covers on the light kits, which I hate.   Replacing the fixtures was not really a good option so I decided to remove the ugly light covers and add Edison bulbs to give them an industrial vintage feel.   We absolutely love it.  It was certainly a fun, easy update. And the glow they provide is really nice and vintage.  Love that..... H...
