My New Shop Space is Looking Purty!

I can't believe that it's been so long since my last official post...moving really does cause a bit of a set back and I feel so out of the "loop!"

But, we're all set up, now and comfy here in our sweet, little home. My daughter, Shaine, and her twins just left to go back home to N.Y. and my oldest daughter, Tanya, moved down the day after. We had the best of times at the beach and touring around our new "southern digs"....even got to watch them film, again in Southport, an episode from "Under the Dome" on CBS. It looks like a great, new series!

So, the "tours" are done, for a while at least, and I am now focusing on filling up my new, teenie little, shop space with lots of vintage and upscaled goodies at

  The Red House Specialty Shops

Now, come on in and take a "little" tour!

A prop door from home and all glammed up....it looks like it's there to stay!

This was my pile of inspirations!

White burlap and white painted, chicken wire were added to create a display showcase.

And a "shabby glam" burlap, swagged bow.

Here are some of my offerings, like this vintage demijohn, with lots of "shabby glam" accents.

A "shabby lining" inside the box with a copy of my "Pocket of Love"

Pretty cottage rose plates.

Mirrors with more glam.

and some with  glitz. 

More vintage, upscaled and adorned treasures to find!

A white, bushel basket and vintage lace.

 Another little creation that I just brought in.

Well, I've got lots more projects in store and then I'll have to find a spot to cram them in or rent another space!

"Miss Minnie"....I'll be waiting!!!

Until then....

Love, Hugs & Kisses,

JP

"Shabby Glam" and "Designer Glitz" and my Tag Sale Finds

JP designs

"Shabby Glam" & "Designer Glitz" 

Well, here is my latest attempt to captivate you with my blog! ;)

So, here it goes!!! 

Right now, I am stressing a bit, no...... a lot, over what to do first. Should I edit my page and background to make it related more to JP designs or should I just continue to write my latest entry? Hmmmm....well, I'm choosing to begin here...

 I am, currently, in the process of re-vamping my Etsy store

( http://www.etsy.com/shop/JPdesignedcreations?ref=si_shop )

 with a new banner to reflect my latest collection of vintage finds.

I have a new one in the works, new business cards, tags and more promotional materials to design. Then there's finishing touches to my items that need to be professionally shot. (I'm not happy with my photo talents, yet, and I'm hoping to get some good tips to improving mine, soon!)

 So, the tag sales have begun and my garage is filling up again. I'm supposed to be getting rid of stuff in the event that we can, finally, sell our house and move to "greener pastures" ......Myrtle Beach to be precise :)

 "SNEAK PEEKS"  

 things that you can, soon, purchase!

 ~And a few that I am anxious to "Glam" or "Glitz"~

 

"TAG SALE FINDS"

My first find of the day was the great little, vintage, vanity bench. It's a great one that someone attempted to make look shabby chic, but I think it needs some updating. So, should I update it to my version of 

"Shabby Glam" 

 with a nicer, floral fabric, better padding, a nice distressing and finish it with some great button details? Should I paint it white or green? I'm leaning towards a soft, garden green! Or...should I make it

 "Designer Glitz" 

with a black finish, a great, red floral fabric, a short, leopard ruffle and of course some buttons, pins, pearls or gems? The problem is...I love both, but which would be a more popular choice, for selling purposes, for a bedroom or dressing room decor?

 Here's my second find and I love it!!! I am, definitely, going to do a great white distress and turn this into a mirror. The frame is so beautiful with it's detail and thickness and you'd never guess that it's........

plastic!!! And you'll never know that when it's done ;)

 And, my last buy of the day was this 1930's or early 40's, huge, wood framed, oil painting.

And I mean a huge, 42" x 29 1/2"!!!  

  I will be definitely making this one into a memo board. Any takers for the signed oil on canvas??? And now, another decision to make...black frame or white....floral...solid damask or printed script, fabric backing? Decisions...Decisions...Decisions!!!

Well, my blogging for the day must come to an end...I've got cleaning and laundry and banking to do... a shower to take, dinner to prep and Christian's first tee ball practice @ 6! Tomorrow is another day to continue my list of never ending" to-do's"....sounds familiar, right? So, 'til next time, good luck to you and your lists, I'll be working mine and please, come back again!!!
