This is a chandelier that I found that had no wires so i added the green crystals and candles.
This little crystal lamp was in serious need of a cute lampshade...a little ribbon did the trick.
Everybody remember this??? A cute little candle light made from old fencing, tiny glass pots for candles, ribbon and some sweetpeas for color.
These stools were in great shape, just needed a little TLC and a light yellow paint.
We made a couple of these laundry room shelves out of wahsboards and old wood.
I found these enamel coved metal bases and attached some old columns that I had. After giving them a three coat paint treatment It looks like they were made for each other. I have three of them of varying heights.
Here is a picture of the bases on the columns.
Here is a simple project. A small metal table base with a metal tray for a top.
This really doesn't count as a conservatory but it's the closest I have been able to come so far. Filled with a tiny bird bath, crystals for water, moss, plants and rocks it looks like a mini garden.
We all know that no sale is complete without one of my picket fence planters.

Well it is time for MY big show. My favorite Antique show...the Three Speckled Hens in Templeton Ca... is this weekend and I have been gearing up for it by stockpiling furniture and doing projects. Here is just a sampling of some of the projects I have done recently. I will post pictures of my booth when I get it set up on Saturday. Wish me luck!

Just love the green bling on the chandelier. Have any extra you'd like to sell to me, for vintage jewelry redesign? Just a couple would be great, if you have any spare left.
Also, loved the picket fence planter you made too. Those are my two favorites, of all of the great projects you did.

Me again.......would you estimate that your store is about 3hours from Los Angeles??? My husband has been doing a lot of work in L.A. and I might go with him one of these days and take a road trip to your store.

Your projects are amazing Geo. I don't know how you get so much done---you must work 24/7!!!! You find the BEST junk ever and always re-vamp it in the most fun and creative ways. Best of luck at your sale!!

P.S. About the conservatory - really nicely decorated...just think of this one as "baby steps"...you'll build one of your own and it'll be fabulous! Posted: 7:38 pm on May 1st
What a bunch of great projects you’ve created. I wish I was there but it’s a 47-hour drive from my house. If it was only 41-hours away I would consider going for the ride. Good luck and I can’t wait to checkout the photos from the show.

I absolutely LOVE the Washboard Shelf...I'm so ready to create one! The metal base/table tray is too cute, and the little candle light made from old fencing is most adorable...I SO LOVE YOUR SYTLE!!
Best of luck at the Antique Show!
