It’s getting down to the wire. I had an errand to run yesterday, so I decided to do some last minute shopping while I was out. The day away from the studio was good for me, anyway. There is still a lot to do, but sometimes I just invent more things to do when I’m in the studio! It ended up … Read More
lavender, Anthro inspiration & indigo
If you can’t tell by the title, this post is a total hodgepodge. That’s how the last few days have been, though. Christmas freelance photoshoots, finishing details for Lucketts, gardening…I’m a little all over the place. (Which isn’t totally unusual for me!) For the sake of starting somewhere, let’s start with lavender. On a whim, I bought some of these lavender … Read More
bed foundation, the other mural & a slipped wing chair
As I was putting together the low profile foundation we used on the full-sized antique iron bed, I had a fleeting thought that I should take pictures of the process. My thought that no one would really be interested in the foundation was totally wrong! Most of the comments I received on the bed were asking about the foundation, so … Read More
the 9 x 20 landscape mural
When I’m getting ready for an antique market, most of the things my team and I work on are profit-earning projects. They are things I plan to sell. There are other things that we work on just because they make me satisfied as a business owner and designer. They are things that make for better display, better pictures, better shopping … Read More
antique haul for the Lucketts Spring Market
One thing that I love about what I do and being “the boss” is that I can (most of the time) chose to do the kind of work that suits my mood on any particular day. Last Friday, I was in a get-out-of-the-studio mood, so I decided to do some more shopping for the upcoming Lucketts Spring Market (May 20-22, 2016.) … Read More
all the pretty things
There have been so many things coming into the studio lately that it’s been impossible for me to photograph each one, so I thought I would go around the “Lucketts staging area” and snap a few pictures. I found this old lineberry cart on Craigslist, of all places! We just cleaned it up and applied a coat of Hemp Oil … Read More
shoe cart reproduction
In case you missed them over the weekend, I listed a few more antique hemp sheets in the online shop! So, remember this antique shoe cart I found and sold last fall? It was such a neat piece and so functional to use for retail display. It’s lightweight, the shelves are removable (and can be configured in a … Read More
the zinc-topped table goes home…
I’m starting to wonder what I posted about before I had all of these furniture makeovers… Today, we’ll take a break from the before & afters and I’ll tell a little story about a table with rickety, uneven legs. He had one thing that made him really special, though – something that kept him from being a run-of-the-mill old table. … Read More
