It was last May when it was
decided that I would have a booth at the 2012 Mother Lode Bridal Fair. In
December, I was helping my best friend Bronté flip her 120something year old
farm house. The doors weren’t in the best condition, so they were sitting in
the dump pile when I got this grand idea!! I decided to salvage them and use
them for the backdrop of my booth; if it worked out, AWESOME! If it didn’t, itd
be no big d. Bronté’s mom, Robyn, had hooked me up with a sander and a place to
work on the doors and I went to town! There were SSSOOOOOOOO many layers of
paint on these doors I couldn’t believe it! I was like, Man this is going to
take foreeeevvvverr! But the more I sanded, the more I loved it and the more I
wanted to keep going! As many of you know, I am absolutely OBSESSED with the
color teal! And guess what the color of one of the many layers of paint was?!
TEAL!!! YEEESSSSSS!!! How cool was that?! If that wasn’t meant to be, I don’t
know what is lol! Robyn was helping me with putting everything together and
creating my vision of what I wanted it to look like! So grateful that I had her
help, I couldn’t have done it without her!! We designed a sign for my logo and
logo placement, flower arrangements, made NEW business cards, giveaway ideas,
and uses for mason jars. I incorporated lace and pearls with peonies and dried
wheat along with vintage style doors that had worn hardware attached. How cool
that everything was coming together and working like I had imagined it would!
Surprising what a little creativeness and elbow grease can do! I am so excited to see how the booth will turn out next weekend! :)
