Off Track

I know, I was supposed to post pics
of what's in my shop at Chartreuse and Co.
for our January show, but I got distracted and
didn't drive up on Friday like I thought
I would.

I went out hunting instead and even though
I didn't find a ton of stuff,
I did meet a famous blogger by chance
at one of my stops!

When she told me her first name
and mentioned she blogs,
I immediately knew it was
Meg of Pigtown Designs! 

She was absolutely lovely and
I'm hoping we meet again because
she seems like my kind of girl!
(Interesting, fun, and a junker!)

So, to keep my promise though
I do have a few pics of what's in
the shop this month.

I'm taking up a truckload and a cargo
van full tomorrow and will
definitely take some much
better pics of everything!

Until then, take a peek:

I picked up this old cubby
at the auction a few weeks ago,
and it would be perfect to
house a rather large wine collection
in style:

Who doesn't love Tolix chairs?

Pick a pair or take all four!

I picked up these vintage

olive baskets last spring

in Brimfield and promptly

sold out of them.

Fortunately my source had more,

so I picked up a bunch when I was
home for the holidays
and even had some

made into lighting fixtures.

Two words:

Very. Cool.

I loved this birdcage as soon as I spotted it, and not because I want to house some

love birds in it! 

I'm going to take it apart and copy Restoration Hardware's birdcage chandelier and repurpose the bottom stand into a bar.

What do you think?

You know I only buy things

I absolutely love, right?

Well, when I spotted this

mirror made from a door

salvaged from a New York City

building, it had my name written

all over it.

yea, yea, I know I'm supposed

to sell my finds, but this

one will be tough to give up -

it's fabulous!

Several months ago I found

four church pew ends laying in the field

at the auction and I immediately

thought they'd be awesome

repurposed as the bases

for kitchen islands.

I designed one and had my

friend Drew build it for me and

it sold the first day it was

on the floor.

So, we built another one

with the remaining two pew ends.

Totally unique, only two in the world

and where else are you going to

find another one?

You won't because it's a

Kramer Angle exclusive!

 

Remember I mentioned

it was "island living" this

month in my shop?

Well, here's another island for you!

Custom made from salvaged butcher block and

the perfect size for a smaller space.

Just wait until you see it lit?

It's so cool!

I have tons more to show you,

but I don't have pics yet because

I ended up here today instead:

 

At an auction!

See, I told you, I'm easily distracted!
