I did get to have some fun at my husbands company awards party. I did get a new outfit, but didn't want to waste money on heels I might wear once per year. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. I apologize that I didn't get a photo of us. We looked really awesome but you'll just have to take my word for it. I did however decide to modify some comfy heels I had. They were black Aerosoles with a wedge heel. Higher than I typically would wear, but they don't hurt my feet. I felt they needed a little bling. Broke out my container of Swarovski crystals and found some larger black diamond ones that I had used on someone's walls. (Yes, I put crystals on walls, why wouldn't I? I'll post about it sometime.)
Just added a touch of bling, but what do you think?
I also had a couple of accent chairs and a table I was trying to finish. And I did complete them. Craziness again. The chairs were matching, but I treated them totally separate. One gloss black and gold the other hot pink with pink leopard print fabric. Very dramatic, but that's the way I roll. Hopefully, someone will fall in love and buy them. Do you think these are too over the top?

I recognize that my backdrops for my photos need some consistency. I have the hardest time getting good photos in good light, etc. I've been trying to determine the best way to create a large enough back drop for my furniture. I went to the Habitat for Humanity Restore this weekend which has tons of salvaged housewares, furniture, etc. I picked up few closet doors and bifold doors that I am transforming to be a consistent backdrop for me. I'll be working on a post for that as well. I am also looking for a cheap crystal chandelier for staging my photos. For my "flooring", we remembered we had some old matchstick blinds in the attic. I'm going to paint and stencil those to create a soft floor for staging my photos. I'll be posting on that as well.
Back to my furniture. I had a small drop leaf bistro table that I've been trying to decide what to do with it for a long time. This is how it turned out. Let me know if you want me to post about how I did this.

I almost forgot! My carrier showed up at 11 pm Saturday night to pick up my latest custom order clock face table. Green, Black and Gold! It's on it's way to New Jersey!

Oh my goodness, that pink chair is amazing!!! They all are but pink is my favorite colour. Love the shoes but I really want to see that wall, I have some ideas for crystals in the future and I would love to see it!

DeleteWow!
ReplyDelete1) Love the crystals on the shoes - makes such a big difference. And it looks like they came that way too!
2) Those chairs are AWESOME! I think the black is my favorite though.
3) And WOW! That clock table is beautiful. Looks like something right out of a magazine.
Nice work with everything - you definitely accomplished a lot!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you love it Sally! It matches your hair! I love the color. I wish I were confident enough to wear a funky color!

Thanks Danielle for stopping by and for the kind words! I look forward to your posts!
DeleteThose chairs are most certainly NOT over the top. Someone will fall in love with them. I saved a set of 6 chairs from a neighbor's curb and they are awaiting some TLC in my garage. The two end chairs have arms and won't fit under our table, so my plan is to treat them separately as well. Different fabric for the cushions and different paint colors. Way to think outside the box! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I can t wait to see what you do with yours! I love fabric shopping!
