Thanks for all of the encouragement in your comments on yesterday’s post.  As I’m in the heat of last minute details, it was really uplifting. So, yesterday I shared the furniture.  Today, I’m sharing the smalls & littles.  I’ve shared a few times that these are the pieces that bring life to a space, whether it’s your home, a styled photoshoot, or a retail space.  My smalls used to be more of an afterthought…things I would trip across on my hunt for furniture.  But I have learned that all of those smalls really add up and most of them I can just buy and tag. I focused this year on smalls and littles that fit with the Farmhouse White theme and also ones that would bring a lot of texture to the booth, since the palette is pretty monochromatic. I also curated things that were utilitarian and pretty at the same time.

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!

The video covers most of the items, but there are a few I didn’t mention in order to keep the video shorter. I couldn’t resist this concrete statue.  It looks

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 to bring out the richness of the wood. You can also see some of the beautiful baskets I’ve been collecting here and there. A reader sold me her collection of vintage bakeware… …and I finally found an old chicken feeder to use for displaying random plates and lids. I also acquired an awesome blue scale… …a rolling wire rack, chippy painted basket, a little wooden stool… …lots of glass cloches in varying sizes… …this cool antique fan… …wooden spindles, buckets, rolling carts and stoneware bowls… …rolling pins, mashers, wooden spoons,
