Finished Staging Zionsville Mall Space!

Just put the finishing touches on the Zionsville Antique Mall staged space!  I had too much fun these last few days, and actually looked forward to the little time I spent there each day.  It is truly a wonderous place chock full of vintage decor, artwork, and furniture.  Here is what visitors will see when B104 broadcasts there live on Black Friday (if you want to stop by over the weekend, the staged space will still be there until Monday morning).

The left side of the space is our living room:

The wall was inspired by the large artwork in the center.  I fell in love with it right away!

This coffee table is way cool-marble top and looks like the base is from an old iron sewing machine.

Our giant bookcase!

 Staging a bookcase is so personal and there are many possibilities.  How would you stage yours?

The right side of the staged area is a desk/vanity area and foyer area:

Mixing furniture pieces, and decor too! creates a unique welcoming vibe in any home.

If you end up heading to the Zionsville Antique Mall take advantage of their sale, free treats, and have as much fun as I had!

Zionsville Mall Space Staging-DAY 2

Today I went back to Zionsville Antique Mall to continue staging my space for the Black Friday Event!  With one extra large coffee, my handy bag of tricks, we made a lot of progress.  Yes, the drapes are up, most of the furniture is in, and decor is on the walls!

Vintage find becomes work of art

I was wagging my tail when I found a really cool piece and did a little DIY project with it.  I created a vintage postcard chandelier using fishing wire and drapery rod rings that have clips. I will share the details after Thanksgiving.  

Tomorrow, I finish up the space! 

If you are in the area please check out the space, and get inspired for your own home by walking around this huge mall and seeing all the vintage finds!

The Zionsville Antique Mall is at 7567 Chestnut Street, Zionsville PA. 

My staged space will be open to the public Friday, November 23 thru Sunday, November 25.

………Also, some of you may be looking for the five minute news video, here it is!  DECOR IN 2013-EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.  I did a live segment on WFMZ 69 News At Sunrise last week with ideas about how to get the new ‘Unexpected’ decorating trend in to your own home.  

My First Staged Space And Radio Spot

I was in the car today listening to B 104 and oh my, I heard my name on the radio!  That was the coolest, strangest thing.  Why was I mentioned?  I am staging a space at the Zionsville Antique Mall on Black Friday to show how to bring a hot design trend I am crushing on, into your home ....decor that is 'Unexpected.'  See the progress so far, below. 

Yep, see how adding common decor in uncommon ways can give your home an 'Unexpected' and interesting vibe!  Check out exactly what I mean by reading THIS-2013 Home Decorating Buzz-Unexpected.

If you are in the area, come by the Zionsville Antique Mall at 7567 Chestnut Street, Zionsville PA to see my staged space and check out examples of how to inexpensively get this look in your own place! I will use more contemporary furniture that is being brought in from Royal Furniture of Emmaus, and adding creative eclectic 'Unexpected' decor to it from the mall.  I just love a good mix of style!  

I will be blogging about the progress of this space for the next few days that will be complete by Wednesday!!!

The staged space will be open to the public Friday, November 23 thru Sunday, November 25.

ALSO, had to share a yummy piece of one of my projects with you:

I am working on some really cool spaces like this and will share the fun with you when finished!  I also share many of my projects at my loveyourroom website under 'my journal' and 'what's new'.  Check it out to see more cool stuff.  I am still trying to keep up with my blog, social media, etc. but really don't understand it all yet-oh well. :)
