It all starts with trips to so many different places. I visit thrift shops, antique stores, and estate sales. What I look for is something already loved and now orphaned, that I can make into something new. Apologies to the antique folks, but sometimes that previously precious piece just doesn’t work in today’s decor.
We load up the truck and then once home, we have to get them out back to the shed. Lee helps me out with a lot of the moving where we have a number of items, or heavy items. Here he’s pulling our wagon with the first of two loads we discovered while on a trip to Williamsburg, VA. With all the history and so much to see there, we still managed to take time to find a number of great treasures!
These will be thoroughly cleaned and then any repairs necessary will be done before any decorative finishing can begin. This particular haul included a number of very unique items that I’m so excited to get started on! I’ve already started planning much of what I will do to get these items ready to sell. Each visit you make to our shop will treat you to something new!
