Diary of a Designer: Flea Market Doll Up

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010


Here’s a cute way to doll up a flea market chair! I used artist canvas and cut a scallop edge. Then hand painted a simple design using acrylic paints. Punching grommet holes in each corner makes it easy to attach to the chair using pretty ribbon! Now ain’t she cute!!!

Diary of a Designer: Divine Dresser Design by Kathy Peterson Inspired

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

I love my creative girlfriends! They all inspire me in so many ways! And this month one of my favorite designer friends, Julie Hosley, sent me her divine dresser displays! Now talk about junk market style! Julie and I both share a passion for all things vintage and I think she did an incredible job of displaying her all her fabulous antique finds!

It’s the little things that really make a room! From intricate hand carved brushes to the soft blushing rose bouquet. I feel like I’m in heaven! Julie has such a wonderful sence of color and display ideas. I love the gentle mix of Asian accessories and the whimsy of the tiny panda bear next to her perfume collection.

…….and the Grand Reveal!
