My booth

Wow, ladies.  You've really been making my week.  Almost 40 new followers, and 40 some comments for my Fat Bottomed Girl.  You really know how to make a girl smile.

That being said, I have to apologize for such a huge lull in posts.  This last week I moved into my little booth at Lisa's II Antique Mall.  I have also been busy working on new pieces, hosting a baby shower, making cupcakes, cakes, and cake pops.

Quickly, before I get into the meat and potatoes of the post, I'll show you the quick before and after of the bedroom outfit you'll see below.

(okay, so I already did the top here...just play along! And imagine the bed's in with it.  You get the gist.)

Yay, huh?  I like it.  It's a 1/2 and 1/2 mixture of old white and Paris grey, clear, and dark wax all over.  I left the imperfections, and love how they grabbed the dark wax.  The dresser was missing a knob on the top, so I replaced them all with clear glass ones.  I'm sharing the dresser at Miss Mustard Seed's party...

OKAY- now the real point of this post...  My booth.  #17.  Kind of perfect that I was randomly assigned that number, since I was born on the 17th.

I'm on a corner in the upper level.  I'd prefer to be on the lower level, but since I must be on the upper one, my spot is great for two reasons.  First, I'm literally diagonal from the elevator, which is a big help since I have furniture.  Second, it's right at the top of the stairs, so it gets a good amount of attention.

Now, the downfall.  I think you can see the major one.  I don't have a wall.  I have a half wall, which means that my booth looks cluttered because you can see all the other booths that are (in my opinion) a bit over crowded and sometimes unfocused.  The divider that I share with the booth on my right is an eyesore and needs to be covered.  I have a tiny section of outdated looking peg board, and still don't have any hooks to hang anything on them.  The two frames hanging there are only there b/c they have wires that I could loop around the back of the hooks sticking through from the other side. I can't hang anything from the ceiling.

I'm really excited to have this space though, and I'm going to make it a cute and functional.  This weekend is the Holiday open house, and I really want to have more up in the way of dividers, and be able to tote down a few more larger pieces before then.  I'm planning to hang a drop cloth curtain along my divider wall, hang some burlap to cover the outdated peg board, put some doors in the open corner to section it off....but I really can't think of what to do on my half wall to hide the booth behind it.

Thoughts?

More soon.  For now, I'm off to paint.
