Here's a few projects I did for the antique store window display from my last post
First up a little curio cabinet
This little darling started life like this
I gave it a coat of chalk paint, added a couple homemade plaster flowers (tutorial HERE), used clear and dark wax and lined it with dollar store paper. Then I put a water slide decal (tutorial HERE) on the back side of the door with a graphic from Graphics Fairy. I priced this curio at $32.00
The curio cabinet is sitting on a vintage farm stool that I stenciled with a Paris graphic and is also priced at $32.00
And this little storage stool got a transformation too
I did a couple coats of chalk paint followed by clear and dark wax. Then upholstered in a tan fabric that I stamped with my vintage stamp set
Goodness, I priced this stool at $32.00 also. Now you know what $32.00 will buy you in my booth......Everything lol!
I still have a couple more store window projects to show you....Stay tuned!
Happy Creating
Carol

You always know how to add the special touches to make something one of a kind...and perfect! I love looking in the windows. Wish I lived closer...I'd be shopping inside! Sweet hugs! Stay cool!
looks wonderful to me!!! I love each piece, you do such great work, magic!
I don't think they will want anyone but you decorating the window from now on-it is beautiful and totally enticing!

$32 is a magical price and should result in very quick sales. The window looks very high end. Any feedback from the owner? Love your transformations dear...
WONDERFUL pieces!!!! I love them all-especially that little cabinet. Your prices are GREAT! xo Diana
LOVE YOUR WINDOW!!!
Are you going to have a larger booth when they expand!?
Warmly,

Every time I see your stamped and printed stuff, I want to do it. I just have yet to try. I love that little upholstered piece the best of all, but I really think it all looks wonderful.
(Because I really DO love stuff painted white, you know...!)
Oh my gosh, Carol, that last photo of the window is stunning! It looks like a high end boutique store, very pretty.

I sure like the window display!
I like your curio cabinet and remade stool. You have certainly been busy and accomplishing a lot! Lookin' good! Nancy
The window looks fabulous! Very eye-catching!! Great projects too.

They are all lovely pieces Carol. You do beautiful work.
I picked up that paper at the Dollar Tree and then thought why do I need this and put it back down. Dangit!! It is perfect in that little cabinet.
You are so creative. What a wonderful window display, love seeing a bit of the how you created...
Imagine being the only (shabby vendor) type of vendor in a mall. In the mall I sell in a lot of 'very similar' is the way things are. It is always a challenge to price right and find something that is 'fresh, collectibles, vintage, mid century, shabby etc.

$32 is way too cheap for that cabinet! You should price it up!
Great Job!

Wonderful ! Love your creations. May I tell you something ? If you want to make really French you have to write rue de PARIS. Explanation when you want to write a French town name always put de before. Like rue de Cannes, rue de Deauville. Don't hesitate to ask me if you want to write something.

oh yeah....I would be stopping to look at that window in a New York minute and then rushing into the store! Love the flowers too Carol. :)
Absolutely love that store window, just perfect! Like the footstool in particular. I have one in the basement that looks just like the before-picture...hm...
That is just super cute! I don't know where you get all of your creative ideas, but you always seem to know just what a piece is needing. I love it!
You may have started a new career, window displays! So very pretty.
I really love all of your projects. The graphics you used are perfect!! Beautiful job.

Your transformations never cease to amaze me Carol. Each project is spectacular. And the window display is lovely!

I love the little stool, you do a great job and anything you do!
Hugs, Ginger
I'm pretty excited to see this cabinet makeover. Why? There is one almost exactly like it in my hubby's trunk (except mine has a mirror instead of glass) that someone gave him because they thought I'd like to as they put it "mess around with it and make it pretty". Thanks for the inspiration!
Bet that's the pretties window they ever did have..
Beautiful as always Carol.
Wowza! Love it all and your prices are amazing!
Beautiful goods ... I'd love to walk around your store!
BEAUTIFUL transformations!! Wish I was closer :)
Your window display would draw me right in! How fun to see the individual pieces that made it work.
Oh my that window is amazing Carol. Love the display and goodies inside are definitely not just for window shoppers, they need to go in!
Wish I lived closer...I'd be tempted to buy that little curio cabinet!
oh just found your blog via Pinterest! I love it and love that you show pricing, I am having my first one day booth at a show and pricing has been giving me fits!! Don't want to be too high or too low. thanks so much for a great practical and pretty blog!!
Love how you've worked your magic! The pieces are great and look amazing in the shoppe window, just gorgeous! I have 32.00!!!! Yes to everything, please!
Hugs,
Patti
I love your projects, Carol, and your prices. I bet you have a long list of loyal customers.
