Hoping April shower will bring May flowers :)

Cutest Mirror Ever

I had to share this creation my mom did. It is the cutest mirror ever! She made it out of a vintage mirror that was for a dresser that was broken and then took a table and made a cute shabby chic mirror. It is currently for sale at our shop,
 I don't think it will be there for long though.

Green and White Hutch

Here is a hutch that we redid, I painted it and my mom distressed, distressed, distressed. We also put different hardware on it to give it a different look.  I have to say these types hutches are not my favorite style, but it turned out pretty cute. Here are the before and after pictures :)

After...

Sneak Peak of My Little Girls Room

My favorite things about blogs is when they have tours of their own homes. I get excited when I find a new blog that I like and they have the button to click on "house tour". I have been dying to do a blog post about my house since we bought our house in May, but unfortunately I do not have one room totally done, a lot of rooms almost done, but not blog post ready...lol.

 My daughters room is almost done, I am just looking for a few things to add to her room, then it will be complete!!! I have a before and after of a cute lingerie dresser that I redid for her room. The pictures aren't the best, but I think it looks pretty cute in her room. 

I knew I wanted french provincial furniture in her room since I saw this kind of furniture, I am doing her room shabby chic, so this is the perfect furniture for that. So I let my mom know what I was looking for and she came back from one of her adventures with this...I was sooo excited!!!

Here is the after...

I painted it with a left over blue I had, I thought the color worked with her shabby chic room. I distressed it just a little bit to add a little character. I left the original hardware and just gave them a really good scrubbing. I think by leaving the hardware alone gave it a vintage look. 

Hopefully soon I will have more "house tour" posts...

Thank you for check out our blog we really appreciate it!!!

Fund Raiser for your birthday!

Hello everyone!!! We just got done with the Banbury Art Crawl for 2014 and it was a huge success. We had over 4,800 people walk through the building in two days!!! It was awesomely crazy!!!! For hours at a time we could hardly walk in our little shop. Can't wait for next year!!! Thank you to everyone that came to support us!!!

I think since the art crawl there has been this unspoken excitement between all the shops/studios. We are really excited about the Banbury Building and want to do great things to promote shopping there and get the word out that this is a cool place in Eau Claire to shop.

 We had a new store come into Banbury called Whippersnappers, and the other day one of the workers asked if we wanted to be part of a fundraiser called Fierce Freedom. It's about human trafficking. (You can learn more about it here fiercefreedom.org.) So right away we said of course!!! An amazing lady named Joyce wants to raise money for her birthday! So instead of gifts/cards, etc... she wants her friends to shop at the banbury shops to raise money for a great cause. 

So together with Whippersnappers, O2Ex3LLCCrafts, SandysClothingandArt, C Design interior and textiles, J Barlow Art Studio, Upstairs Vintage Wares, and Sweet and Savory, we will be donating 20% of all the sales we make that day! 

So if you are local please shop on March 1st from 10-3.
