I can totally see it with chandys and fabric and all Frenchy and Shabby Chic. They're going to be so lucky to have your cute little shop on that street. I can't believe there are hardwoods under that hideous carpet. That's perfect! You were just talking recently about how you'd kinda run out of space to do cool stuff at your house... isn't that funny, and now this<br /><br />And, if i ever have a chance to paint Dillon... that is sooooooo the photo i'm gonna use...<br />look at those sweet soft eyes... whoa<br /><br />CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16980709067973460368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-83020808343573334112012-04-12T12:50:10.841-04:002012-04-12T12:50:10.841-04:00You go Girl

Love the stemware...are those antique? I to love mixing up patterns.<br /><br />I was so excited for you yesterday when I read your post about your storefront! I read it on my Iphone, in bed, and so I didn't comment. I'm not good at typing anything of length out on my phone yet. My kids make fun of my texting ability...or lack there of. <br /><br />The store looks so charming. I can just imagine how it will look when you've got it all filled up. Be prepared because it is a big change and even bigger commitment of time and energy on your part. I know you can do it though. Someday I think I might have a shop again but for now I am happy doing all from home. I hope you'll have some help and I wish I could be there to help you. <br /><br />Ripping up that carpet will make such a HUGE difference. Our building also had ugly, gray commercial carpet. I couldn't rip it up because it was 5000 feet but at the time I had a big inventory of needlepoint rugs and other carpets to cover it plus so much 'stuff' that it really was hidden by everything else. <br /><br />It looks like there are some pretty columns in there. I like that and it will help in defining certain areas.<br /><br />I wish you the very, very best!<br /><br />NancyNancy's Daily Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644639469128423132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-74272907966689754692012-04-11T22:53:28.012-04:002012-04-11T22:53:28.012-04:00Exciting times for you and your upcoming shop!

I took Franklin to Shannon's the other night and he had a time playing with her big dogs. I think the new shop looks perfect. A perfect space for a French Decor shop. I'm so happy that the landlord gets it. What a gift that is! I think the mirror will work out beautifully. Love the columns and the fact that he will pull up the carpet is pretty amazing.
