Antiques Et Cetera - All Moved In!

Well the big day finally arrived and we have moved into our antique booth.  I realize we have a long way to go, a lot of things to tweak, and more furniture and vintage items to move in, but at least it's a start.

Louie and I spent all last week in Chicago packing things up and working on furniture we wanted to bring down.  So of course we had a big torrential rain storm the day we were planning on leaving, so we ended up renting an enclosed trailer to shove everything into.   Well, whatever works, right?

I desperately need to get some sheers or curtains of some type to hang behind the shelves so I can hide the peg board wall of the booth behind me.  Louie is also going to make me another shelving unit to match the 2 that he already built....
.

My space is about 12 ft by 10 ft and open on 3 sides.  The thing I really like about it is that it's a corner unit so I'll get traffic from two directions....

We just finishing re-doing that table.  Blog post to follow as soon as I catch my breath...

While we were setting things up a woman came over and raved on the table.  She just loved what I did with it and that made me feel good.

Here's the latest trunk I just finished.  Hmmm.... I think I need to do a blog post on that one too.  I AM behind!

We also just finished that cute little chair....

Chablis brought over a bunch of the signs she has made...

The booth next to me was empty yesterday and today the new owners were moving in.   I'd like to get a long bookshelf to put items on to separate my booth from theirs.

This will look SO much better with a backdrop.  Any suggestions beside curtains???

Chablis re-did this make-up table. It has a hidden compartment behind the mirror...

She also re-did this coffee table....

Finally I hung a banner, which will hopefully go up above the shelves once the backdrop is up..

So there you have it.  I have boxes of stuff at home to bring down the next trip and I am already working on another table and a dresser.  Those 2 items should be done in the next day or two.  Now all I have to do is start filling the booth up with more items and hopefully selling a few things.  I just wanted to share it with you.  If you have any suggestions, please pass them on and wish me luck!

In the meantime, if you're in the area, stop by the booth:
