Hi-Ho Hi-Ho... it's off to Paint we go!...

Yes... fellow booth owners... I'm moving my booth... My current booth is in the "way-back" of the Blue Hills Antique Mall... you literally have to go through 12 different rooms and down 2 hallways to get to my booth.
So when junkin' with Candy and Terry Thursday, I found this booth available... and you only have to go through one other room to get back to this booth...

It's a sweet kitchen/dining setting with a pretty window... and lots of cabinet space... see the glass doors... Candy thinks "it's perfect!"

It also has lots of nails and screws in the walls... and
some very UGLY wallpaper... and unpainted lattice... oh! and the ceiling fan... can't forget that! Laurie Smith would just die!

and a bottom half thats a dirty green... the top... taupe?
but I like this little corner shelf..
This is the wall opposite the cabinets and window... a lattice see-through to another booth... and more shelves...

Here are the shelves on the window wall under the cabinet... along with "not my favorite flooring..."


and not so beautiful counter tops...
But the window... I love the window...
So today, Sunday, the transformation begins.. Ricky and I are headed to Geronimo to do a little cleaning and painting...
Then next Friday my sister, Lili, is coming from Mississippi to help move the booth!... Candy (and maybe Terry) will be there too...
Something tells me there'll be margaritas to post about again next week...
Wish me luck... down here in French Lique...

  2. Hi Dixie! That booth has lots of possibilities! You will have to post the "after" so we can see! My friend Linda keeps trying to talk me into doing this, but I keep telling her we'd have to buy a truck first! lol Hope you are enjoying your weekend...hugs...Debbie

  7. Awesome space. I am looking at a space that measures 8' by 10' all the way in back behind another vendor around the corner. I'm scared to death to take the plunge in doing this.

    Seeing you making this move is inspiring. Lots of work, but lots of fun too.

    Best Wishes

  9. Having spent a few hours in a huge antique barn I know that location means a lot ~ but I have a feeling you would be found no matter where you perched. Love the new booth!!!

  13. Wow! This place has unlimited possibilities! It is so cute. The booths at the mall where my DH has a booth is so blahhh. I would help him move his booth for this space, can't wait to see what you do with it.

  24. Dixie Girl, I LOVE it. What good bones and with your talent for creative interiors...your sales are gonna go through the roof. Your merchandise will look wonderful in this space. I'm so proud for you and can't wait to see the transformation. Wished I lived closer...I'd be there in a heartbeat to help with the painting...and the margaritas!

    P.S. I'm a little behind in my reading and just read your post on the Hot Chocolate maker. Thank you so much. It made me so happy that the random generator picked your number to win and even happier when I read you sweet post. You are a doll!
