The Booth = Open!

by cbrown

Drumroll please . . . well, it’s a delayed drum roll (I don’t recommend moving your house at the same time as opening a booth). Anyway, without further or due, I give you the Tilly & Fran booth. It’s located at the Frisco Mercantile and is open everyday. You’ll find a selection of vintage decor, flea market finds, art by Sarah Manning, furniture, and a curated collection of odds and ends. Take a look and if you see a treasure you’d like to make your own just let me know and we can arrange shipping and/or delivery.

The Dining Room vs. the Breakfast Nook

by cbrown

Exhibit A.

Exhibit B.

The dining room vs. the breakfast nook. As we begin the house hunt I debate the space a dining room brings to a home. It sure is a fun place to decorate and create table scapes, but other than holidays and celebrations, it rarely gets used.

The top photo, exhibit A. is a dream dining room (hello chandelier) that I would find a reason to eat my cheerios on every chance I had. However, let's get real. I have a two-year-old and she sure isn't eating her cheerios from that marble top table! So exhibit B. seems like the most likely to succeed for dining. I have a real obsession with round pedestal tables right now and can't wait to pick up a beauty I got for my new booth ... appropriately called Tilly & Fran, and I do believe she'll get painted a pretty white. I love the versatility it brings. You can pair it with different chairs and creates a centerpiece for you kitchen and dining area. Stay tuned for more items headed to the booth!

Link Love – Reads. Blogs. Finds.

by cbrown

This is as much for me as it is for you. Too often I see links to articles, products, or people I want to learn about, but before I know what hit me my phone is taken hostage by a nameless two-year-old who wants to call Elmo and I never get back to reading about said link. It’s not just limited to news and notes I find on my phone, but also what I find in these things called magazines – it’s made of paper, so again said two-year-old takes over and wants to color on the magazine that is not a coloring book – you get my drift. So here is my attempt at collecting and sourcing things that interest and intrigue me that I hope to you’ll get a chance to check out too … one day.
