The Old Hutch-A-Roo....

One of the best parts
about owning a store is that it is always changing....
not that our homes are, but, well, come to think of it, they don't change much!
{most likely because we are ever-changing the store around!!}


Anyway, we found a new hutch top at one of our favorite junkin' spots...
and painted it white so that we could replace this hutch
that sits on a vintage enamel topped table

After emptying all of the goodies
we put the new hutch on top...
ahhhh
it didn't work
at all
I couldn't even take a picture of it...
it would have tipped over.
Now, listen, I measured....
but forgot about the nice lip on that great vintage table
which made the hutch VERY unstable
{not a good thing when you have customers grabbing inside of that cabinet for things!}

So our EASY
 switch-a-roo
became a little more challenging....
however, it just so happens
 that we had an old white washed dresser
that was the perfect size!

TA~DA!
Then we filled it up and just
"did our thing!"


There you have it.....
the old Hutch-a-roo!

Making White Dark.....

Creepy Cool
can be neutral....


This year we took
Uncle August and hung him from the door
 in one of our displays up front.
Using the colors of his picture and frame,
we created
a neutral
Halloween Pallet

Using glass, shells and Mercury glass we started the theme....

Coral does a nice job mimicking bones
plus we love the texture of it!


creepy cool textures!

Glass apothecary jars to fill with
fake spiders, or candy....

One of our customer's sons collects cicada shells
and they used those to fill the jars
for a specimen look....
ewwwww!!
Cool!

These frames hold pictures on both sides...
and with a little help from the Graphics Fairy,
we had instant creepy prints!

Vintage urns (our favorite!) are filled with
distressed white pumpkins...and shredded newspaper.

Silver skulls, glittered pumpkins and black and white Halloween prints
add to the ambiance of the display!


The Darkside of White...
got to love it!
