Typography

I am seeing a trend these days.  I love the written word and with so much of our communication in email, text and e-readers, it is so nice to savor typography.  In our booth, we have just brought in a vintage typing table and typewriter.  It is surrounded by oversize scrabble tiles made from reclaimed pallets.  (Don't worry, I didn't charge for the blood, sweat, and busted knuckles brought forth in getting the pallet apart.)  On the wall, you can see the "Gifts of the Holy Spirit" collage, also made using pallet wood. 

Can't you just feel the "HUG" in this inviting space?

Have a blessed day.

The Lovely Lady is in the house

I am thrilled to have this buffet in our booth.  The finish is not too rough and the drawers are so solid.  I love the long drawer, perfect for those tablecloths.  The center drawer is divided for silverware or smaller serving pieces.  There is a key to open the two side doors which are open for taller pitchers or candleholders.  There are six legs with wood casters.  I have held onto this piece for quite a while, but just can't give it a home.

I have a fascination with domes and this one is sitting atop a white oak log slice.  It is sanded smooth and treated with mineral oil so you could use it for its intended cheese slices.  I like the carpenters ruler, too.  My granddad had one of those back in the day. 

Soon, we will be trading out our robin's egg blues in the booth for brighter blues, greens and yellows.  Sometimes, a change of the main pop of color is all you need to make the whole area feel fresh.  Try to incorporate at least three places for impact.  It is fun to just move your furniture around too.
