It took the better part of two days, and we're STILL not totally done, but here's what my new downstairs booth space looks like...
I still need to drop off lots of smalls this weekend, add twinkle lights and another lamp, and just foof it a bit more, so please keep that in mind when casting a critical eye on my new booth.
To refresh y'all's memories, I finally was given a much coveted first floor booth space in my antique mall, and we all know what that means....more traffic, more visibility, more sales. 'Nuff said.
To give you some perspective, here's what we started with two days ago...don't forget to click photos to enlarge!
Hey, at least it's not fugly pegboard. Hallelujah!
Self-explanatory thorn in my side.
So from that....
To this...
Sorry for the sub-par lighting and lack of sharpness in some of these photos. I think I was so pooped my hands were shaking!
Thanks Debbie and Cat Daddy for the awesome chair!
Believe it or not, I'm actually the first to introduce creepy baby doll heads to our antique mall!
Viva la change!
Okay, so ignore the price tags, pen and tape sitting on the chair there!
I know you be lovin' my "Dead People's Stuff" sign I purchased from the vendors of the same name at Warrenton.
You need gorgeous garden art?
We gotcha covered at Fiona and Twig!
And from the awwwww, sooooo cute files, one of the mall owners has five brand new baby kitties on the premises that he brought out for their worldwide debut...
Their itty bitty little eyes aren't even opened yet!
Say hello To Bobby above, he's the mall owner of your dreams. He and Vickie both, great people, super accommodating...I'm lucky.
Mr. Twig even got in on the act. Likes to tell people he doesn't like cats. Hmmm, yeah, whatev. ;-)
So that's it for now!
I'd like to thank the mall owners for always being so supportive, encouraging and accepting of whatever sort of funky stuff I want to unleash on our sleepy little town.
And I'd especially like to thank Mr. Twig for being such an invaluable help to me all day today.
Thanks honey, you're the best!
More pics to come in the days ahead, thanks for looking!
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter weekend!

Patricia :o)
I already see too many items I would like to purchase! Great stuff :)
Everything looks wonderful! Love the layout! Props to you!
Anne, you guys did a super job. It's a bigger space than I thought you were getting. Love the slope ceiling and the wood slats on the walls. Great furniture and smalls! Oh those kitties are just so cute, I think you need a couple of them to keep Winnie company. I know you're glad to finally have it done and put together. The photos were great.
ly, talk soon,
Debra
Yes, I think it is your mission to spread the cool funky ware news to a dark, and ugly plastic world! It looks marvelous and the musical notes on the bentwood chair hit such a sweet note! Good luck on your new space!
OOOH, I love it!! I want that... and that.... ooooh look at that!!! I must admit the doll head did scare the hell out of me! I'm heading up as soon as the holiday company leaves!! You're just a hop skip and a jump from me in the big city of San Antonio! ROAD TRIP! Can't wait. Have a wonderful weekend.
Wow... you have done so much work! It looks fantastic! Very welcoming space... you are sure to have LOTS of sales!

congradulations and welcome to the world of a professional seller! I've been in a mall for about 9 years now and its really great...I started off doing flea markets but so much work...and out in the sun all day...I love being in a mall and they do all the paperwork , taxes etc. I just get a check every month... I do hope those gentlemen are getting their cat fixed.!!
Ooh, so lovely! I am in Japan now but when I return to Texas, next summer, I am going to have to make me a little trip! Congratulations on your little space!
I would love to come & shop !! Love love your booth & the baby kittens are precious !!

Hi Anne, Your booth looks wonderful! The first thing that caught my eye was the "Dead People's Stuff" sign, lol. I see a lot more things I love though, for example that large old suitcase and the hanging iron bowl.
I wish you very good sales and Happy Easter!

Julia

Oh Anne, I am so excited for you and for all of those lucky shoppers. Beautiful! You are going to be selling lots of goodies in that new location. Hey, right by the stairs, perfect! Well, my basket if full... where do I checkout:) Have a blessed day my friend and your cutiepie husband! Hugs from Georgia!
Hey girl! It looks fabulous! I love how you have those stairs right by your booth! I bet that thorn in your side box comes in handy one of these days when you need height for something! It may just be a happy thorn in your side!
Ok, you've got some great stuff! I love all the white painted furniture and the wire baskets and the cottage shutter!
I hope your sales are awesome in your new booth! Based on how it looks, you should do great!!
Happy Easter weekend!

Good luck in your new space, Anne! I think it looks fabulous ~ no critical eye here! Love your displays and the smalls. It looks like you were able to hide that non-removable box. I think it all looks great!
Love love love it! I see so many things I would buy! You're very talented putting it all together - always love visiting your blog!
WOW! IF I COULD SHOP THERE, I WOULD MAKE A SERIOUS DENT IN ALL YOUR HARD WORK! BRILLIANT!
Anne,
I am nuts for the new space. Good job girl! I see a few things I would love already, starting with the creepy doll head! There you go, a maverick bringing the creep to kerrville. I gotta go read your Warrengton posts now. Jodie told me your a sweetie, can't wait to see for myself. Lisa
Your space looks scrumptious! I think I could do some damage there!

Claudia
Hello My dearest Anne!

So much more space!
"I love what you've done with the place"

Have a Blessed Easter! Nice to see Mr. Twig in person...so to speak!
Hugs my friend...donna

Good job girl! You have such a talent, I need you to come over and help me.

The booth looks great. I saw so many things I would buy!! Looks like your spot next to the steps is a perfect location.
Jane

Anne,
Looks great! I might just have to borrow a couple of your ideas for my booth! It is alot of work but your space is fantastic! Wish I lived closer to see it in person!
Good luck on your new location,
Jody
Ooooh, Anne, I'll take 1 of those, some of this and a whole bunch of that! If I ever come your way, I'd better bring a trailer! It is all arranged beautifully ~ congratulations, girl!
Blessings to you,
Laurie
Anne it looks fabulous!
Now how far is that away from RT?
You did an amazing job!
Blessings to you this Easter
Rebecca
Love how everything looks, I had to laugh at the pic of Mr. Twig with the kitty, you said he likes to say he doesn't like them, well, looking at the kittie, it has its mouth open like Mr. Twig is choking him.....lol....just thought that was funny....kitties are cuties, but I am not a cat person either....
hugs
Brenda
Love it! Its fabulous! I so wish I lived even anywhere near you...I would scoop up those locker baskets, that cottage sign, that old milk crate on the floor, the hanging iron basket sans the wierd doll head...that's just a little too creepy for me! I love your junk! It's decidedly gorgeous!
it looks fabulous! love the doll head, she needs some friends.
It looks great already, but I know that when you work some more of your magic on it, it will be absolutely the best booth on the block.
I love that it is right at the base of the stairs. That's great!
Rhonda
Your booth looks great!! I am proud of you. You are an inspiration Anne! I wish I lived by you!
Those kittens are adorable!
