Change of Scene

It's sometimes really hard  to change the store around for a new display. Everything seems to move when one new item comes into a small shop.  Lots of  new boy stuff  have  come  in lately.  The final push for change came last weekend when  I purchased a great poster at the fleamarket.   The space poster dated 1967,made by NASA,   celebrating Project Apollo  is just fantastic. It was taken out of an old school.

Headboards,nightstands, chandeliers, bedding, bedskirts,  mirrors and artwork all had to move around the shop.Looks great once it is done. So now  the space poster is a happy neighbor to the vintage space rocket sled.

 

New bedding comes from Israel.  Each bedding set comes with a duvet cover, fitted sheet, pillowcase and standard sham. That's a nice set.

 

The world pillows have been a big hit.

 

New  animal heads came in from Haiti. Hand made  from paper mache. The elephant head is the largest.

Check out the vintage Ringling  circus poster with the animal heads and wooden silhouette animals..

It's looking good.

See you...

Mod Girls Bedroom It's Hip Hermes

Last week a customer picked up her Fall/Winter  bedding for her ten year old daughter's bedroom. This bedding was supposed to be ready at  the end of Sept. 2010. Delayed is not the word. Ridiculously late, is a better description. The factory that made the fabric moved and the production times kept getting pushed out. Back order notices were constant.  I think I get as stressed about back orders as my customers do. I call. I hassle . It is, what it is...  Luckily for me, this customer is so kind. No angry words.  She said she will leave her daughter's Spring /Summer bedding on at this point and will save this set for next September. As she picked up the bedding, I joked that this is a hip Hermes set. Yes, she completely got it!

Last year Hermes created a new site that celebrate it's scarves, Jaime mon carre. It's fun, it's hip, but still so Hermes..

So back to the customer's bedding... The custom bedding set comprised of a duvet cover, 2 euro shams and a boudoir pillow.

I wish I had a picture of the finished bed. Oh well.. Let's dream about the room... Maybe the bed will  have  a white patent leather, tall modern headboard like this..

I saw a dresser in Atlanta last July that can be made in different leathers or faux leathers. I think that would fit in the room..

Also a cool pod chair I saw in NYC..

We need something soft.. A flokati rug for sure.

I wonder how the room turned out..

See you..
