Window Staging

Each month at

Monticello Antique Mall

a dealer has the opportunity to stage the

front window of the shop
We spent the day Thursday doing this....

I've known for a few months that I would be

doing the October window so I've saved some

"pops"

of orange for a bit of a Halloween

feel without going overboard.

This concrete owl is wonderful -

he actually has glass eyes.

More than Halloween decor for Fall I personally
favor more of a Harvest look.

Sunflowers , pumpkins ,
gourds ,bales of hay, galvanized wash bins
for apple bobbing , corn stalks ,

wheat and antlers

This old boiler pan has figural owl handles .
Since I forgot to take a photo you are going to just have to make the trip to Monticello and see them for yourself :)

While we were there it was time for a re- do of our
mall space

I am a little obsessed with ironstone right now .

My own primitive cabinet at home isn't quite

as full as this one but I'm working on it!

The sweet little ballroom chair has its

original linen fabric covering on the seat.

A little tattered on the edge ,

a bit discolored here and there ,

I guess two "wrongs " can be

just right.

The small table with a glass top the globe is setting on is

actually a hot water heater stand

from the early 1900's.

Was everything made then with an eye for beauty?

Personally, my current hot water heater

is not that cool.

I hope you enjoyed the photos. Its

looking like we're going to have a gorgeous

Fall day here in the Pacific Northwest

so that means get a Starbucks coffee and a paintbrush.

I have the prettiest table and 4 chairs that need

a new coat of paint and some ruffled comfy cushions.

I'll post pictures soon.
