A White Booth Redo

I am aching all over.  The White Booth Girls did a major booth redo today.   I have more photos on The White Booth Facebook page.  But here are a few of my favs -

We put a ruffled Christmas tree skirt on our mannequin.

I love the  color and feel of this vignette.

Two doors flank the wide entry area.  This one has one of my signs on it.

This one looks great with heather's bench.

I'm too tired to add more, but you can see all you want by clicking on the links at the top of this post.

More White Booth Photos

We are now calling ourselves The B Hive.  Bees are also symbolic of hard work and industry as represented by the common phrase "busy as a bee." To see bees in your dream, symbolizes wealth, good luck, harmony, creativity and bliss.  Alternatively, the dream represents the things that are happening in your life or something that is buzzing with activity.That seemed to be a good fit for us.

This venture has already proved very successful.  Things are flying out of the booth. There are six of us and every time one of us goes to the shop, the booth needs fluffing because things sold and left empty holes in the vignette.   We're going to have a real hard time keeping it full.

Here are some more photos -

Martie's white table sold.  She has another ready to go.

The ceiling tiles at the top of the peg wall all sold.

Cynthia mantle looks great!

My rabbit chairs on either side of Kathy's vintage desk sold.

The White Booth - Phase 2

Below are some more photos of the white booth.  Don't get too comfortable with this look.  Things are already changing.  There were 4 of us in the group.  Now there are 6 and we are doubling our space.  It's great.  You can see the floor and wall are already painted in a couple of the photos.  Moving day is tomorrow.  Hopefully I'll have another post of photos for you soon.

The White Booth - Phase 1

I am now part owner of a second booth at Rockin' B Antiques.  There are lots of vendors there that I have a good time with.  They have loads of talent and personality.  Five of us -  (Nicole, Martie (my boothmate in booth #1), Cynthia, Kathy, and, of course, me as #5) somehow came together with a fun booth idea I've been thinking of for some time.

Back in November, I helped to set up what I called The Winter White Booth at the front of the store.  It was so pretty and really did well.  Since that feature booth was dismantled, the white on white market has not being tapped very well at Rockin' B.  A month or two ago, I pitched the idea to the decorating team that they should have a feature booth up front that stays set up with mostly tones of whites and creams and an accent color that changes.  They didn't exactly jump at the idea, so I pitched it to some other gals who happen to need a little more booth space and the rest is history.  The whole deal has come to fruition so fast and easy, that I know it's the right thing to do.  And... I'd say the white on white market is now TAP DANCING at Rockin' B!

It's in the Starter Booth phase right now and already looks AMAZING.  And we're selling out of it about as fast as we can decorate.  In fact, we're hoping to talk to the owner today about expanding the space.  We need a little more room for some more big pieces.

The pictures in this post are the results of just Nicole and I playing around.  This is before we have all our major pieces ready - two hutches are coming soon.  We pulled all sorts of little shelves and things in.  We  wanted to quickly set up the booth to look as finished as possible so we could start selling.

Yesterday, I stopped by and saw the booth after Cynthia put her English / French things in and truly, I swooned.  I don't have photos of that yet, but I plan to take lots today, so stay tuned for updates.  Martie and Kathy will be putting their touches on it today, too.

We have a schedule planned out for monthly accents.  This month, our accent color is green.

Without further ado, here are some photos from Phase 1 -

Oh my gosh.  Seeing these photos and knowing how much better it looks now makes me hesitant to even publish these.  Come back in day or two and you'll see what I mean!  Come back in a month or so and you'll see lots of other cool ideas we are working on!

Last, but not least, I woke up to an exciting email this morning from Stephanie at Under the Table and Dreaming! She featured my porch rockers redo on her blog!  I'm famous!  Would anyone like an autograph?

Update:  

We now have a blog about The B Hive (our white booth)!
