Andy Warhol & Robots

Chrissy emailed me asking for some help decorating her apartment. She told me she wanted something modern, she liked orange, Andy Warhol and robots! After seeing some photos of her apartment, I came up with this....


Most everything is from IKEA, since that is one of the only places Chrissy can shop where she lives! Other items are from websites I love! Fulcrum Gallery, Chiasso and Cb2!

I also made more detailed design boards with a photo of the room. This helps Chrissy see my vision better.

I really hope this helps Chrissy and inspires her!

Pink Wall

I finally painted the old closet in my office! I painted the back wall pink so that my vintage desk would stand out. I am very happy with it! :)



I love "displaying" my stuff! I think it all looks really nice with the new pink wall!

My Friend ~ Dennis Capps

I have a friend who is so creative! He is a painter, photographer and now designs great things on Photo Shop! Here is what he designed for me.....



He used photos taken at my wedding and on my honeymoon. I didn't have a lot of photos in my house from the wedding / honeymoon, so I thought this would be a great way to display them together! Dennis even took some of the wedding shots that are in the piece he made for me. I will post a picture of it once I get it framed and hung in my hallway. (The photo is 29"x29")

When I first saw a photo collage he made from photos he took on a trip to Spain, I knew I wanted he to design something for me.


I just love how he makes everything work together in one large photo. He has such a great eye for photography!


His painting style is also very original....

Please check out all his work on his website! He is seeking clients. He would like to make some collages for other people using vacation, wedding, family or whatever other photos you would like! Please contact him if you are interested!

Entry Wall Collage

We have lived in our house for over 2 years now. I have never be able to decide what to do with the entry. When you walk in there is a closet. We actually took the doors off and just left it open. I bought a cheap wardrobe from IKEA to keep coats and shoes in. I couldn't decide if I wanted to paint the area, wallpaper it or hang fabric. So, instead of any of that I just decided to use all the great magazine photos, warhol prints, marilyn monroe pictures and everything else I didn't have a place for!!! Now it all has a home together!

Its not for everyone, but is very ME. I love collages. Its so fun to stand and look at all the images. I even put photos of friends and family in the mix. Its very personal. I still have some "holes" to fill. It sometimes is hard to find the right size picture to fit into the puzzle.

My Collections

When I started working at the antique mall, I started to see more and more flower patterned items. Items from the 1960's and 70's. Like any collection, one thing turns into two things, then you end up with three. Here is a very images of my favorite flower printed & flower items I own.

Vintage Flower Pins ~
These I put in an IKEA picture frame. I just pinned them to a piece of fabric.



These are all items in my bathroom. My trash can and a cute vintage Shirt-Tales watering can.

I use a vintage pillowcase as a backdrop on the top of my cabinet in the bathroom. The aqua flower planter I found at a thrift store, I spray painted in the aqua color.

I like to use vintage glasses & mugs to hold makeup brushes, eyeshadows and other bathroom items.

Then there is my teapot set! Hands down my favorite! $10.00 for all of it at a thrift store.


I use vintage glasses for pen and pencil holders. Vintage scarf and vintage floral box also in photo.

Opening an Online Store

Any advise?

I am thinking about opening my our little store online. I currently have a booth at the antique mall I work at. I sell items there pretty well, but I am looking for something else. I thought it would be fun to sell online.

I have already started to design a website using www.wix.com. Having my own site seems the best way to sell EVERYTHING I want in one place. I will sell clothing, purses, decorative items, vintage glass, anything I think is cute, linens and probably somethings I will design myself. It could be months before I am ready to do this. I may even change my mind.

If anyone has any advise, feedback or suggestions I am all ears! :)

Thanks!
Jessie
