I went by my favorite boutique this week, <a href="http://www.redrockroseboutique.blogspot.com/">Red Rock Rose</a>. They asked for some suggestions on a cute piece that needed a little TLC.This project turned out so terrific - this beautiful dresser was sold before the paint dried! <br />
<div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">This dresser had mis-matched hardware which left indentions in the wood. Knowing how difficult this piece would have been to completely restore, I just added some bronzy stencilling to cover up the marked wood and touched up some nicks.</div></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;">I replaced all the hardware with something they had on hand and this dresser had a fab facelift in a couple of hours.</div></div><br />

Whew!! ... Set the vibe for your customers as soon as they enter the door. It keeps them interested and sets the tone for the rest of their shopping experience. Make use of colors that pop. Below, the color Turquoise is our "pop". (If you follow Pottery Barn Teen, you know their spring/summer catalog made good use of turquoise. Do some homework and rely on experts and their ideas.) Your products may help you decide what your color palette should be. Also keep in mind the current and upcoming seasons and how your use of color will blend in (or not) with the following season.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcpQOwx0ffATzFVWWx0wUBTXP2dUWEYIP8WlwXrFflU6MMnyD8b-TwszF1tZGw6r9yPwB2PDCOZiUbjrMeGd2Xq5ODbzYbm9gC1ReS-hbqohSaytCKkjdLfJISv0aSPxkDo2nFB7CrOiE/s200/DSCF5711.JPG" width="171" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLXHkWZ7o0uei9tE-DNLxukgZ9s6_2QwlfaCxsS9g7PrTQDBCmBtwZXQsiBdjmlk7Ht6Q8EuMI5NExiLtvFMFBfxJ6yZaL50gRM5q-q9SRawgh9EPBsm7uVa_Y7vi9OmnMBm3eDePOGt4/s1600/DSCF5724.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLXHkWZ7o0uei9tE-DNLxukgZ9s6_2QwlfaCxsS9g7PrTQDBCmBtwZXQsiBdjmlk7Ht6Q8EuMI5NExiLtvFMFBfxJ6yZaL50gRM5q-q9SRawgh9EPBsm7uVa_Y7vi9OmnMBm3eDePOGt4/s1600/DSCF5724.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEehVALKkV5Fq69PZpLN7RqCNdH9WTllYWuNuF2qv8S7YrjRcu8Re5ubn7tS95c3qeCJrmR3zAdbbcH-2skLyTZXbFnv1veAXgbzNJutm8XgGZIVHU8zCO6hyMOuX7Wr8wxkjnRmUWfZM/s1600/DSCF5725.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEehVALKkV5Fq69PZpLN7RqCNdH9WTllYWuNuF2qv8S7YrjRcu8Re5ubn7tS95c3qeCJrmR3zAdbbcH-2skLyTZXbFnv1veAXgbzNJutm8XgGZIVHU8zCO6hyMOuX7Wr8wxkjnRmUWfZM/s200/DSCF5725.JPG" width="125" /></a><br />

They've been renovating their store and have really put me to good use over the last couple of months. Today, we decided to photograph my morning's work. I set up a fall/Halloween scene inside an antique bed and underneath a country chandelier. Wowsa! I think it's terrific - The owner of the boutique loves my on the spot creativity. I think we'll be doing lots of projects together!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZOZivZYhgOg6_m-h2selO4gKqVbZIzm_BUg_vC81jFDdlqQvY22L6DMYS-JesKTNytgfHzOCRScsmBMb32mVWdA5IIOF1igCnRxWo9NwlKMlUOW5SZLNeUCJYiTrJyx4oDkM2wrKEuyg/s1600/DSCF5707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMDY60YfRtU53LoJ6KHqApHc_cuJ6B1yPclwIdpuqlWw4t64AW5tHG2Ppm2_bHGpdrQXmmIrbfirNxqc_4I-3OGJh2125saBFf0I1cGgRzO_2m5gBs2O3ruT-b4DzleLwyoR_aSrMCb0/s1600/DSCF5719.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMDY60YfRtU53LoJ6KHqApHc_cuJ6B1yPclwIdpuqlWw4t64AW5tHG2Ppm2_bHGpdrQXmmIrbfirNxqc_4I-3OGJh2125saBFf0I1cGgRzO_2m5gBs2O3ruT-b4DzleLwyoR_aSrMCb0/s200/DSCF5719.JPG" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rZ50JHuTdb1nrh-VphaaoKR1akkdJgcipU9LTSkR04as2Y7fQyJUOnpv7cHpMz6SyZi5Wu_wgHdJd1UrgYar-x46rL9xEQME4kB3Wj1ERsS4I-EvBO_X_q0EUIsQAqOZ23XvteuNAU0/s1600/DSCF5686.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rZ50JHuTdb1nrh-VphaaoKR1akkdJgcipU9LTSkR04as2Y7fQyJUOnpv7cHpMz6SyZi5Wu_wgHdJd1UrgYar-x46rL9xEQME4kB3Wj1ERsS4I-EvBO_X_q0EUIsQAqOZ23XvteuNAU0/s200/DSCF5686.JPG" width="150" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVOVXQK_xFSTruEhOMPnE0KhNI1dT_X7gWeunbchrXxRTednOQT_naZtjnlXpfpaPBmWDv2PVPunr5c79HOtWgzyLSUOoMqDqSaWgc6p55RSCo9Zew78jC79m5h6nhrc2V1dvsT_yTh_4/s1600/DSCF5716.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVOVXQK_xFSTruEhOMPnE0KhNI1dT_X7gWeunbchrXxRTednOQT_naZtjnlXpfpaPBmWDv2PVPunr5c79HOtWgzyLSUOoMqDqSaWgc6p55RSCo9Zew78jC79m5h6nhrc2V1dvsT_yTh_4/s200/DSCF5716.JPG" width="150" /></a></div>Drab-to-Fabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05989326931745311238noreply@blogger.com0
