Skirted Vintage Furniture July 22, 2012
While visiting Aunt Jewell and family, in St. Charles, Illinois, we stopped in a favorite shop, in Geneva.
It’s called Artemisia, and they have a wonderful mix of products, both old and new.
I noticed two pieces of furniture, dressers actually, with ticking and burlap skirts. I don’t know how practical they are, but they sure are cute!
I think it would be a great option for open shelving. It went into my mental idea file to use down the road.
I also thought that these baskets, converted into hanging lights, were pretty cool as well.
I liked the galvanized steel sheeting that was used on a piece of furniture and on this darling shelf.
Someone spent a ton of time folding all of these book pages, to create this paper project.
I find that when I go shopping now days, I’m spending a lot more time looking at how things are displayed, than I used to. And I’m always looking for new ideas on furniture restoration. Fun stuff!
I hope you have a marvelous day!
All the best!,
Barbara
You never know where new ideas will come from…I’ll have to be more observant! Enjoy your day! 😉
Hi Donnamae,
I love great store displays! Sometimes there’s just too much to take in. Thanks for saying “hi”!

It’s not really my style, but I do love it anyway – especially with ticking!

Love all the great things you presented…looks like you are having a grand time!
Lots of great stuff! I like that hanging light using the basket so creative and unique.
