Bathroom Redo!

Well the bathroom at #1 shop got its facelift recently.... We went nuts with the burlap and covered the mint green walls.... and what a transformation it is....

Monica with the every trusty staple gun.....what a fantastic invention...it makes transforming so easy....

 

 The start of getting the burlap on the walls... part burlap, part mint green.... and the poor little sink... oh! but wait till you see the sink...

 The bathroom is so small so we gave it a mirror theme.... it looks so great, and items just bounce off the mirror reflections....

 Along the top just below the ceiling we stapled seam binding to create a little more interest....

 The sink got a skirt of dark chocolate brown burlap... what a difference....

 And Monica grabbed one of our lamp shade skeletons from the living room and hung it above the soap display.....

And then we added chocolate brown curtains on each side of the soap display tied back with mustard yellow burlap ribbon.... what a difference it makes and customers seem to linger in the little bathroom just a little longer because it is just so sweet in there.... hope you can stop by and take a look..... we can give you lots more decorating ideas.....to help with your home.... its amazing what a little bit of fabric can do....

Its Was Fun!

Well Girls Night Out was a great success.  The weather cooled down and the evening couldn't have been more perfect!  The Come Back Buddy band played in our front yard under the gazebo and it was just so wonderful....

We had a large array of all kinds of munchies and our wonderful neighbor Papa Ed's Ice Cream owner Linda Whittley brought down glasses filled with raspberry sorbet and all we had to do is add the wine... yummmmmmm!!!!!!

Amy is my Two's Company rep and she walked around and showed gals many ways to tie a scarf.....thanks for coming and doing this Amy.....

This customer put a scarf on her head and just had to pose by the flamingos.....

 There were so many great customers who came out and shopped and danced their little hearts out.....

 Our cottage garden gal Monica ready to dance.....

 They danced in the front yard.....

 And on the porch.... yes including moi!!!!!

 We lined the clothes racks in the driveway to make room on the porch for dancing... but it was great so gals had plenty of room to shop.....

A little blurry but we strung bistro lights all down the driveway and all around the front yard it was truly beautiful......

Thank you to all who came out for the last hooray before the summer comes on..... and don't forget we are open all summer so come and visit us......

Don'tForget!!!!!
