time, a mommy journeyed to a faraway village to buy an <a href="http://sophiasdecor.blogspot.com/2012/01/little-french-room.html">old bed</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This bed
looked wonderfully exciting in the sale ad and the mommy jumped at the chance
to own it. The mommy hoped that someday a little girl would feel like a
princess when she slept in this bed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> She excitedly
showed the bed to her favorite furniture restorer, Mr. Jon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Isn’t this
an excellent bed! It is very old and I love all the beautiful carving that it
has. It has a couple of ouchies that I might need you to help me fix. What do
you think?”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mr. Jon
looked the bed over carefully, wiggling all the different wood parts to see how
strong they were. Oops! Watch out! I don’t think those pieces are supposed to
come off!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mr. Jon was
afraid that this old bed was too badly hurt. But he promised the mommy that he
would do his best and see if it could be fixed. Many, many hours went by as he worked
on this bed in his workshop. He had to take it apart. He had to put it back
together like a puzzle and sometimes he even had to carve new pieces! At long last, the antique bed had a new coat
of creamy paint and was ready for a new home. </span></span><br />

Mr. & Mrs. Jon took the special bed to many places - it was the center of attention
at a home décor store; it went to several very nice vintage shows. Many other
mommies loved the amazing bed but somehow it never went home with them.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The mommy had
two little girls of her own, but they already had special beds. Then, oops, the
mommy found out that she was going to have another baby girl. Surprise!</span></span><br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

kept taking the awesome bed to all her shows, but she secretly hoped that maybe
it wouldn’t sell and her own little baby girl, Summer, would sleep on it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Suddenly the
mommy and her three little girls had to move to a faraway kingdom – way over to North Carolina!
That settled it – she couldn’t leave the special bed behind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So the bed was
carefully wrapped and made the long trip in a big truck. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As time went
by, Summer was finally old enough for a big girl bed and the night came when
the mommy could<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>snuggle her into the
special bed. The mommy told her that Mr. Jon (who was also Summer’s grandpa –
Surprise!) had made the beautiful bed just for her. Every night before she
closes her little eyes to sleep, Summer whispers, “My Boppa made this bed just
for me. I love you, Boppa.”</span></span><br />

Eleven days off work and school. We'd have to work hard and have a can-do attitude, but thought we'd give it a whirl. Well, of course we didn't work on the actual holiday-days; so the days dwindled...<br />
<br />
I'm happy to announce -<br />
that we're still working on the bathroom.<br />
On the Martin Luther King holiday. <br />
Now I kid around that we should be done in eleven months.<br />
<br />
Actually, it hasn't been too bad and we are taking the time necessary to do the job right. We still have another completely functional bathroom to use, even though we have to share it. So we aren't having to take our showers at the gym or anything. Too bad that Home Depot doesn't offer frequent flyer miles - they should be greeting us by name at the front door by now. I wish we'd started a number-of-trips-to-the-hardware-store log to see if we're creating any kind of world record.<br />
<br />

<br />
Jon laughs at me, but since I am a very visual person I analyze where I can move forward on the fun, design stuff. That's why the new lighting is already installed, three of four walls are all painted, the fun towel hook that I've been saving for this room is up and waiting for new towels to arrive instead of the kitchen towel to remind Jon not to bang his head on the hook, and the glass apothecary jar full of soaps is already on a shelf (on the "good" side of the room!).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If you look on the other side of the room, there's a bit more work to do. Don't worry. I'll get there. I've already upwrapped the marble pebble shower floor tiles so I can try them with my bare feet. Important things first!!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6jv8XFCSVno/TvkxLexbaMI/AAAAAAAAArM/rS8W0AWebMg/s1600/house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6jv8XFCSVno/TvkxLexbaMI/AAAAAAAAArM/rS8W0AWebMg/s640/house.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm all too familiar with the nasty job of removing multiple layers of wallpaper - the soaking, the scraping, the mess, the patching... Having a little "vintage" in my style does not mean brown wallpaper in the dining room that features covered wagons pulled by oxen.<br />
<br />
All the wallpaper is gone, but we are now learning a new skill. Removing a glued-and-screwed particle board subfloor. However, I'm not sure if many hours - make that DAYS - of painstaking chiseling, scraping, sweeping (all on your knees) qualifies as a "skill."<br />
<br />
After putting off this last major project for many months, Jon and I are deep into renovating our main floor bathroom - and doing the work ourselves. <br />
<br />
So that our new heated marble tile floor isn't two inches higher than the other floors in the house, the subfloor must go. (Also, tile cannot be installed over particle board.) The two layers of vinyl flooring were a cinch. But the particle board does not come off without a battle. <br />
<br />
Hmmm, I don't think I've ever seen this demonstrated on HGTV...have you?<br />
Back to work; I'm keeping my eye on the <span id="goog_1194485494"></span><a href="http://draft.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8430600564333327704#editor/target=post;postID=1171917299244394449" target="">beautiful bathroom prize ahead<span id="goog_1194485495"></span></a>.<br />

I was looking for something out of the ordinary, with some pop and flare, "off the grid." <br />
<br />
The front door of my house is now a bright citrus green as is the wooden bench under the white pergola on the side of our property.<br />
<br />
So instead of my usual holiday decorating with traditional wreaths in each window, I decided to simplify and modernize. On a recent visit to North Carolina, <a href="http://sophiasdecor.blogspot.com/">Kristen</a> and I stocked up on ribbon at Carolina Pottery and I brought home some wide mesh plaid ribbon and some fun flocked polka dot stuff to give my traditional wreath a makeover.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r1GzvBOfzCg/TtulCY9aMgI/AAAAAAAAApY/Brh4I35Ix30/s1600/P1080567.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r1GzvBOfzCg/TtulCY9aMgI/AAAAAAAAApY/Brh4I35Ix30/s640/P1080567.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used these same materials to punch up a couple of hanging baskets. These are always full of flowers during the summer, but adding some evergreens, a candle with a glass hurricane, and some ribbon gives them a cute look for the winter months.<br />

These are some pictures from other vendors. Seeing what other people have created and how they display it is always one of the most fun parts of a show.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't get everybody's names, so if you see your items here, please let us know and we will mention you specifically.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I'd gotten a shot of the inside of this armoire! Adorable little curvy shelves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for my little granddaughter, Summer, in her vintage Frenchie bedroom.</div>

I'm giving away my age here, but when I was a child we had little candles like these at each place setting and we lighted them during our family holiday dinners.</div>

Here is what we call our "Chateau Trimoulet" cabinet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally a Victrola cabinet, it was pretty sad when we rescued it. My talented husband hand painted the cabinet top on a Sunday afternoon with his other eye watching a Seahawks football game. Just think what he could do with both eyes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see storing fine French wine (or a local and affordable Riesling) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and beautiful crystal glasses in it.</div>

<strong>Our <em>Chateau Trimoulet</em> cabinet.</strong></div>Angel's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06037684044076647746noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430600564333327704.post-55869147527073699032011-09-20T21:32:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:32:43.675-07:00House JunkieI confess. I am a house junkie.Some of us love bling, are foodies, seek out the last fashion.<br />
Me, my kickers are shoes, jackets, gardens, traveling to historic places.<br />
But close to the top of the favs are houses (and the decor within).<br />
Been going to home shows, studying and drawing house plans since forever.<br />
<br />
Vacations usually include touring a historic mansion somewhere along the way or just seeking out an old neighborhood to stroll through and take pictures. My three kids got used to this and seemed to enjoy the old houses full of family history and architectural features. Daughter Kristen <a href="http://sophiasdecor.blogspot.com/">http://sophiasdecor.blogspot.com</a> has the sickness, too. Weird genetic house gene.<br />
<br />
Kristen's latest adventure was to move her family to Raleigh, North Carolina this summer. Of course, when looking for a house to buy last spring, she drove around looking for the awesome vintage homes and knew that I would like to see them, too, when we came out to visit. (also trying to entice Jon and I to relocate, too)<br />
<br />
In checking out the lovely neighborhoods of Raleigh, I found this little darling...<br />

<br />This French Norman style house was built in 1939 by a couple who had saved for many Depression-era years to build their own home. Annie Laurie found an example of her dream home in a magazine and copied it. They lived in this house for all their remaining years - Annie until she was over 100 years old. <br />
<br />

<br />
You also know you're addicted when you watch a movie (or buy it and watch it over and over) just to check out the great house. What a dream job to be a set designer for movie houses. And apparently I'm not the only one with this problem. Check out this blog: <a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/">http://hookedonhouses.net</a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously addicting. </div>
It features many, many great movie houses and if you look carefully you'll see how these movie sets actually influence decorating styles and trends.<br />

After a rather lazy junking summer, Jon and I found some good stuff!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a fun afternoon digging through an old storage warehouse piled high (and wondering if we were going to dislodge a mouse or something worse. Someone has an irrational fear of snakes and rodents!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the loot, <strong>Before</strong>...</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just finished rehabbing the old dresser - the one on the left. Hmmm, always trying to come up with a spiffy new idea. What do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <strong>Afters</strong>...</div>

Question - how come a great old piece of furniture always has more "issues" once you drag it home? This charmer has been stabilized, cleaned, and new cedar drawer bottoms added - PLUS the whole new look. It is important to us that we provide a quality product for you. This will be with us at our next sale, coming this Fall. See you soon!</div>

We wanted you to have the end of the story...<br />
<br />
It was a back and forth "discussion" about whether this table was too big a mess to be a table anymore or just tear it apart for the special details and moldings. Well, the table literally ended up as pieces in a pile in the garage. Our dear neighbor couldn't believe that it wasn't all just junk. (And secretly I thought she might be right!)<br />
<br />
But my amazing husband resurrected this piece with skill and when it was done it was amazing!!<br />
What an accomplishment for an amateur woodworker-who-can-do-just-about-anything.<br />
She was sold at the Farm Chicks Antique Show (more on that fun event to come) last weekend and has started her next 100 years.<br />

To be sad to sell a chair. Sniff. I was surprised to be emotional about letting it go.<br />
Little Chair found a new owner at the Funky Junk Antique Show last weekend.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
After pouring a lot of creative energy into this comfy chair, I was tempted to keep it.<br />
But a sweet young lady fell in love with Little Chair and it was fun to see how excited she was to make it her own!<br />
<br />
I'm about halfway done with another chair - sneak peek.<br />

Like the Funky Junk Antique Show of last weekend...<br />
Friendly, caring hosts - like Hollie and Jennifer and Nathan.<br />
Who load up a vintage wheelbarrow with little tin Easter buckets filled with candy for each vendor and drive through the grange hall, announcing brightly "Happy Funky Sunday!" just before opening time.<br />
Who care enough to provide a special gluten-free goodie for Jon each day of the show.<br />
Who check in regularly "how are you doing" "we're glad you are here" "do you need anything?"<br />
Who have selected a great lineup of creative vendors with amazing stuff.<br />
Who always have a smile on their faces!!<br />

Do you feel lighter than air, fresh as a daisy, spic 'n span?</em><br />
<br />
I really feel good that this project is done! (See previous posting for "before" photos.) Sometimes our projects develop an unfinished life of their own so it can be an accomplishment to finish a big one. Little chair might not seem like a big project but it was scary since I was borrowing a (new to me) paint treatment shared by <a href="http://missmustardseed.blogspot.com/2011/01/french-chairs-painting-technique.html">Miss Mustard Seed</a> and having a first go at reupholstery. And this was a gut job - stripped right down to the frame, where there are actually now four different hues of paint. This takes time, but really adds character to the wood. <br />
<br />
Little Chair is going with us and will be up for sale at the <a href="http://www.funkyjunkantiqueshow.com/">Funky Junk Antique Show</a> next Saturday and Sunday, April 9-10. Come say Hi!<br />

And now I'm excited to work on two or three other awesome chairs that have been patiently waiting their turn. They'll have to roll the dice to see who gets the new, amazing fabric I found online for one of them...Angel's Attichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06037684044076647746noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8430600564333327704.post-56354997116856338112011-03-12T23:56:00.000-08:002011-04-02T11:46:46.263-07:00Little Chair, Little Chair...<em>What is your past? </em><br />
<em>Who built you? Who first took you home and made you their own?</em><br />
<em>Were you a country chair or a city chair?</em><br />
<em>How long did you languish ruined and forgotten in a barn? A garage? A basement?</em><br />
<br />
Jon and I are always curious about some of the old stuff we find. You know how sometimes when you are shopping or "picking" you see something that you snatch up without hesitation? <br />
A while back, we found this chair and I immediately liked its lines and curves and brought it home. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ff_Bnj0wNmA/TXvZ7sLYKMI/AAAAAAAAAgc/lW6dus7FF8Y/s1600/area58chairsmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ff_Bnj0wNmA/TXvZ7sLYKMI/AAAAAAAAAgc/lW6dus7FF8Y/s320/area58chairsmall.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<em>Then followed 18 months of sitting out in <u>our</u> garage. Waiting. Sorry, Little Chair. Now you are helping me learn some new tricks<img border="0" src="http://www.gardnerdesigns.net/angelsattic/blog/postpics/nameofimage.jpg" />. Reupholstery. New paint techniques. You are going to be beautiful again!</em><br />
<br />
As you can see, this chair is still a work in progress. But all the nasty fabric and stuffing (along with the 5 million little tack nails!) are gone and its had a good scrubbing. Time for the fun part...<br />
I don't now how wise it is to write a tutorial on something I've never done before, but follow along as I share this project with you. More to come...<br />

For one of her television projects, she gutted and redid an old farmhouse in Canada (HGTV series) and I think she is now living in the house with her family. Sarah is great at adding vintage lighting and furniture to her rooms, which fits right in with the work we do at Angel's Attic. Of course I cannot begin to match her remodeling budget or talents, but the minute I saw her master bathroom it became my inspiration for the redo of our main floor bathroom.<br />
Our current bathroom has a big jetted tub, which is rarely used and we need another shower in the house.<br />
We haven't started the project - still in the planning, budgeting stage and beginning to gather the main elements such as tile, fabric, paint. Sarah planned her bathroom around the drapery fabric. Sarah paid $130 a yard for her fabric. Husband says too expensive. I agree. Especially now that I've found something very similar to what she used for a much more affordable price.<br />
Right now I am looking forward to our new bathroom. Not looking forward to the mess along the way. Stay tuned...<br />
Here is the inspiration...<br />

No room for both a shower and a clawfoot tub so there will be some modifications. Plus, we sold the old clawfoot tub that we found on the property - the deer were using it to drink from.

We just picked up this "beauty" today - Linda was instantly in love but Husband thinks it is too late for this one. How sad. So we bought it cheap, mainly for the weath of old mouldings and bric-a-brac (or so I told him). For our spring shows, we plan to create a tremaux mirror, which would be a great use for the antique dentil moulding. (But shhh, I'm still secretly hoping for a miracle and to bring this table back to life.)<br />
Yes, it time to start designing and planning for shows in 2011, beginning in April. More on that to come very soon. And watch to see the fate of this wonderful old table - either revitalized or repurposed, it will be a gem.<br />

Yes, it is back to winterness after our vacation to Disney World in Florida. It was a lovely week with Kristen's family (which includes our three granddaughters) and several days with our son and daughter-in-law who joined us from Atlanta. It really is true - Disney is a great place to create family memories. It was delicious to see the excitement and delight of the little girls when they first glimpsed Mickey Mouse or one of the princesses. Jon, Kristen, and I also soak in the creativeness that is Disney - from their architecture and landscaping, ride designs, to the amazing shop windows. <br />
It was hard to return to our regular lives and even harder to give up those breakfasts outside in the sunshine! <br />
