Calling something "simple" in my mind, in my inventory system and to my family is the kiss of death. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I found a lovely, "simple" hutch a few months ago. It was obviously handmade. It had clean lines with a cute little curved board at the top. I was just sure this would be a great makeover!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The back had a handwritten note stating that it had been "lovingly refinished by XXX in 1994." That loving refinish was an orangish brown stain with a few drips in places. The loving refinish also included adding mirrors to the backboard of the top shelves. Oh, and new shiny brass hardware. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Maybe that was showing the piece TLC back in 1994, but today it called for paint! Also, the mirror had cracked at some point, so I was sure I could just smack it with a hammer and get all the pieces out. And the hardware---I'd reuse the ugly brass and simply paint it black. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's where my simple plan for a simple piece went downhill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, the mirror wouldn't shatter and I could NOT get it out! Next, I painted the hardware and put all the doors back in the exact same holes. But the doors weren't aligned and they wouldn't close! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is where teamwork comes in handy. Mom and Dad were in town, so we put Dad to work on the alignment problem while Mom and I brainstormed how to handle the backboard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">After a few months, I'm happy to say I JUST finished this piece. I will be renaming it in my inventory list and on its price tag. It will now be "Shabby White Hutch."</span><br />

I hinted at the fact that we wanted to keep the décor in the nursery very gender neutral with gray, khaki, black, white and wood. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since then we've found out that we're having a little boy! Be still my heart. I just can't wait to hold that little man in my arms! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We got the nursery painted and decided that the lovely vintage dresser I had thrifted for <a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2015/12/so-many-updates-we-moved-and-business.html">our space at Unlisted</a> would instead become the baby's dresser and changing table. My mom graciously took it home and painted it white and the handles black.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">During a fun day trip up to the <a href="http://www.thevintagewhitesmarket.com/#!colorado/czrk">Vintage Whites Market in Loveland</a> this winter, I found the most adorable old alphabet print. We got that framed and hung right away. It set the tone for the whole room!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is just one shot of how everything is coming together!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm doing everything I can not to run out and buy the crib mattress, but my grandma has already informed me that I am to wait until my shower to buy anything more! I listen when my grandma tells me these things! :)</span><br />

Back in February, our contractor called me and told me that they'd like to use our space in an ad they're placing in a local magazine! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEYLkmrSlpc/VuSsvOz6tJI/AAAAAAAAEIk/VMK_gS6BV2QiQIqM0qdW1NfoHSJ8E1pLQ/s1600/long_best.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZEYLkmrSlpc/VuSsvOz6tJI/AAAAAAAAEIk/VMK_gS6BV2QiQIqM0qdW1NfoHSJ8E1pLQ/s640/long_best.jpg" title="Narrow bathroom remodel" width="426" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you remember back to </span><a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2015/02/master-bathroom-renovation-update.html"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">my posts from last year</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, you'll know we left off with a room that was stripped down to the studs. The project went quickly after my last update, but then life got in the way of me updating you here on the blog. (If you </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/karlimillspaugh/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">follow me on Instagram</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, you've probably seen many recent photos though!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now, the perfectionist in me is still saying, "Karli, you haven't found that perfect piece of found art to hang above the toilet" and "Those lovely barn doors aren't hung yet!" But those finishing touches will come very soon. For the time being, this beauty was ready for her photoshoot. Literally.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We found the </span><a href="https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1292192&categoryId=cat1770011" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">perfect vanity at Restoration Hardware</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. I love the thick marble top! When I touch it and my fingers feel the velvety smooth texture, I swoon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I knew I wanted two narrow, vintage looking mirrors above the vanity. I found </span><a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/eleanor-frameless-mirrors/?pkey=call-mirrors&&call-mirrors" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">two great beveled-edge pieces from Pottery Barn</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. I love their vintage look.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And the perfect wall sconces were found while I was browsing a </span><a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/clear-cloche-glass-sconce.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Shades of Light catalog</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. Now, you may be wondering why I went with oil rubbed bronze for the lights. Yes, I purposely mixed finishes in this bathroom. It will make more sense in the next photos. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U3qnhC6B2oU/VuSswI0XmCI/AAAAAAAAEIs/GmGx3MMsN-IYHGB4brr-NjUbeNgyfDMEw/s1600/vanitymirrors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-U3qnhC6B2oU/VuSswI0XmCI/AAAAAAAAEIs/GmGx3MMsN-IYHGB4brr-NjUbeNgyfDMEw/s640/vanitymirrors.jpg" title="Mixed finishes in bathroom" width="394" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For the tub, this is where I spent hours and hours researching the perfect fit. Literally, we could not fit a tub in this space if it was one more inch wide. I found the </span><a href="http://www.barclayproducts.com/shop/acrylic-tubs-free-standing/huxley-acrylic-slipper-tub-66-white-with-7-rim-holes/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">narrowest slipper tub on the market</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. Trust me, I searched high and low. We have a narrow bathroom but I was bound and determined to get my tub!! We went with an acrylic tub that's been designed to look like a vintage cast iron. And that </span><a href="http://www.barclayproducts.com/shop/fillers-accessories/thermostatic-clawfoot-tub-filler-for-deck-mount-installation/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">tub filler</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">--it shines in all its glory!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_3wjvADVwk4pgcVHunA8bO9xuSoN5Pgk0Gij_D6ijVs7gemifZFCXEyYnaBUztauk0ALsJP8d9cV7gUb73uE6g89RMehKS1HOQf5297NFA8qdEdC4uL-DKeqXiMJk4Wsm7-yu-7G83HD/s1600/tubfixture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_3wjvADVwk4pgcVHunA8bO9xuSoN5Pgk0Gij_D6ijVs7gemifZFCXEyYnaBUztauk0ALsJP8d9cV7gUb73uE6g89RMehKS1HOQf5297NFA8qdEdC4uL-DKeqXiMJk4Wsm7-yu-7G83HD/s640/tubfixture.jpg" title="Acrylic slipper tub, Tub filler" width="426" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Because I wanted the eye to move around the room, focusing on different spots, I opted for the black law feet with this tub. In fact, you'll start to notice a few more black and/or oil rubbed bronze items now that I've pointed it out. I wanted a collected look. Something that looked almost like a vintage farmhouse bathroom--with a slightly glamourous touch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-05yBhkQlBGM/VuSsu1a3zHI/AAAAAAAAEIc/cVTAYghojc8mO4_hexQ6gc7G8q_051NKQ/s1600/tubfeet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-05yBhkQlBGM/VuSsu1a3zHI/AAAAAAAAEIc/cVTAYghojc8mO4_hexQ6gc7G8q_051NKQ/s640/tubfeet.jpg" title="Black claw foot bathtub" width="514" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I knew I wanted to use marble hex in the bathroom somewhere. I actually thought I wanted the shower basin to be marble, but I am SO happy our contractor advised us otherwise. The solid surface basin they installed blends perfectly and is a breeze to clean! But I still got a gorgeous strip of the marble up the middle of the shower where the gleaming fixtures are mounted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We couldn't be happier with how this bathroom turned out. We loved our contractor and would recommend them to anyone looking to embark on a bathroom renovation. They only do bathrooms, so they can be a trusted expert for you. And they met my perfectionist standards---that's no small feat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

And honestly, I hope that the more of these I do, the better I'll get at taking these photos. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qQ_Cc_rXZIA/VsZanOBZUNI/AAAAAAAAEHs/rM3IRUTFL-M/s1600/OOTD218.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qQ_Cc_rXZIA/VsZanOBZUNI/AAAAAAAAEHs/rM3IRUTFL-M/s640/OOTD218.jpg" width="434" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I mentioned yesterday how much I love kimonos. They're so comfortable and you can throw them on over just about anything for a little more coverage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I got this colorful version at </span><a href="http://theunlistedmarket.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Unlisted</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, during one of their fun Ladies Nights. It was on sale and only cost me $30. I've worn it so much and I always get compliments on it. Well worth the investment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The simple black dress came from the consignment store called </span><a href="http://www.bumpandco.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Bump and Co</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. I also found a pair of jeans there. I love thrifting!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The earrings are </span><a href="http://www.stelladot.com/sites/karlimillspaugh/?lc=en_us" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Stella & Dot</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and the turquoise jewelry is from my collection, purchased over several years from small vendors.</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I had a really nice day today. I stopped by the store and took some photos of furniture pieces that might work for a friend as she relocates to a new apartment. Then I met my friend Erin for a long lunch. We caught up on life and enjoyed salad and pizza from </span><a href="http://www.raccaspizzeria.com/#pizza-fired-by-passion" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Racca's Pizzeria</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> (used to be Marco's Coal Fired Pizza). Afterwards I ran some errands to get more of <a href="http://www.livingproof.com/buy/full-thickening-cream" target="_blank">my favorite new hair cream</a>. Love the texture it provides for my fine hair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I hope you had a great day!</span><br />

(If you don't know what <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-8014857-11958005-1445467985000" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a> is, then <a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2013/07/let-me-introduce-you-to-stitchfix.html">check out this post</a>.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was happy hear a while back that they would be offering maternity sizes now. Perfect timing for me! So I revised my style profile (since <a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html">I no longer need so much business casual</a>) and placed my order. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Today my fix came and it may have been one of the best yet! My stylist, Kate, wrote me a sweet note about the pregnancy and picked some wonderful items. And this time, I actually tried everything on so you can see how it looks on me versus the hanger.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I asked for pieces that could grow with me as I go through this pregnancy. I also wanted everything to be transitional since we'll soon be out of winter and into the heat. </span><br />

These are stretchy and a nice dark color, so they are slimming. (You can see the almost-five-month baby bump here). I also really appreciate that the back pockets are in a flattering position. Most maternity jeans are just so frumpy! They are a touch long so I've cuffed them here, but I'm not worried about that at all. I'm keeping these!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I took this top out of the box I was worried it might be too small, but it is stretchy and oh-so-comfortable. I think it can easily be dressed up for date night, like I showed here (with the jeans above), or worn a bit more casual. The high crew neck isn't the most flattering neckline on me, but as long as I add a long necklace, I should be fine. I'm keeping this top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I knew that I loved the colors and the fun print of this blouse, but I could immediately tell it was huge! As you can see in the pic above, everything was just too blousy on me. Not flattering. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I was so happy when I saw the color of this top. I had something similar in my pre-maternity clothes, but I could no longer wear it. This top is short-sleeved, so it will be great to layer up, like I show here, or to wear as-is once summer hits. It is very soft and comfortable. Keeping this one!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Oh how I love kimonos! I can wear them now and again when I'm not pregnant. I have a few in my closet and I enjoy wearing them. When I saw this, I was just sure it would be a no-brainer. My stylist even coordinated the top above to wear underneath. BUT, the front hit me in just the wrong spot. It made me look very boxy, so I, with a very sad face, had to send this back too. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One thing we've wanted since day one, was a bigger, better deck on the back of the house. The little 12 x 12 wood square is no longer suiting our needs. We love to entertain and spend time outside. We always end up with camping chairs, folding tables and pop-up tents spread all over the grass to accommodate our guests. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So this week I started daydreaming about how we can renovate and reimagine our backyard. Just look at this beautiful view!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We have nearly half an acre, so space really isn't an issue. We do have a sloped lot though. Things start to go uphill once you get about 20 to 40 feet from the back of our house. There are some degrading retaining walls to help break up the hill. Fixing that may be phase two. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So in my daydreaming, I've found a few landscaping companies with portfolios I really admire and I've turned to Pinterest for some ideas. Here's our checklist of items we want:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Several seating areas</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Outdoor kitchen area (we would love a pizza oven, but that may be asking too much)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fire pit</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Pergola</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Better retaining walls</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">New stairs</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That's really no small project. But a girl can dream, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's our inspiration!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The last image is a design rendering from Elite Landscaping. They're coming out to give us an initial consultation this Friday. I can hardly contain myself. I love how it hit all of our want list (minus the retaining wall and stairs which will likely be phase two). Now we'll see how much that will all cost. :(</span><br />

A neighbor brought it back from her grandmother's estate in Pennsylvania. It did need a little TLC before it was ready for its debut at <a href="http://theunlistedmarket.com/" target="_blank">Unlisted</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I worked on it last week and today it had its first showing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here's how it looks in our current space:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPxHLCUZWKbcfw83RylSV-Gjwakh1HEVwtiibMnzMF25FfGPetzZ-7y3qHruE_aH-3pUcLK_UQOavjK4aHtWVHiST842PHZa44Zfmgmg6pBgPvMwNC49-OHV005pVc1O9ofeC0wfXLLMLf/s1600/bench.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" height="528" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPxHLCUZWKbcfw83RylSV-Gjwakh1HEVwtiibMnzMF25FfGPetzZ-7y3qHruE_aH-3pUcLK_UQOavjK4aHtWVHiST842PHZa44Zfmgmg6pBgPvMwNC49-OHV005pVc1O9ofeC0wfXLLMLf/s640/bench.JPG" title="Vintage wood bench" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Did you know you can <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kindredstyleblog/" target="_blank">follow us on Facebook</a> to get the latest news on the items we're bringing in to the store? You can also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/karlimillspaugh/" target="_blank">follow me on Instagram</a>, but you'll also get a fair share of food, dog and travel photos too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Back to the bench...It really got me thinking how perfect it would be in an entry way. I always like to provide some sort of "landing place" in an entry way. This way there's a place for guests to place a purse or even a place for you to leave mail or keys. So I turned to Pinterest and some of my favorite blogs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are a few of my favorite ideas for how to style this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First, keep it simple. Add this to a narrow hall under a few family photos. Easy as that!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And this is my favorite. Form and function all in one!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For now, we've painted the nursery and are starting to work on furniture for the space. The little one will be using his cousins' crib (thank you Caren!) and enjoying a lovely gray room. We're keeping it all fairly gender neutral with gray, khaki, black and white colors. There will be several wood pieces mixed in for a nice, cozy space. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TVnBjowItYs/VprLEkgmtsI/AAAAAAAAEEE/sLynkp1xXKk/s1600/equipale2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TVnBjowItYs/VprLEkgmtsI/AAAAAAAAEEE/sLynkp1xXKk/s640/equipale2.JPG" width="498" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've been seeing so many great Aztec prints and styles, that I just knew the gorgeous Equipale table I had in stock would be the perfect base for a new look!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Wait, what's Equipale? It's a kind of furniture generally made in Mexico with tanned pigskin and cedar wood strips. Each piece is handmade and has its own character! The tables I've found online retail around $490. We've got ours priced at only $99!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've seen cool barrel chairs before, but I'd never seen a table like this one. Especially one with great large nailhead trim! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So how do you complete this look? To me, it's all about blending the somewhat rustic Mexican style with more modern Aztec or Navajo fabrics. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As soon as I found this mission oak rocker, I knew exactly what to do with it! The black and cream upholstery is perfect. </span><br />

And now it's Christmas Eve. Where has the time gone? Oh we can tell you!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Since our last posts announcing our retail space, so much has happened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NFNthBM2Nsg/VnxFjR0fwmI/AAAAAAAAEBw/wNt842KQNog/s1600/comingsoon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NFNthBM2Nsg/VnxFjR0fwmI/AAAAAAAAEBw/wNt842KQNog/s640/comingsoon.jpg" width="480" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">First, we stayed busy keeping merchandise stocked at The Vintage Vine in downtown Littleton. We were really proud of our little space there and learned a lot about what customers in that area of town were looking for. We took a slightly more colorful approach with our booth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Second, we've become a supplier to the ever-so-amazing store in Greenwood Village called <a href="https://dwellantiques.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Dwell</a>. This store is one we've admired from afar for years and when they got the chance to move into a new space at double the size, the time was right to partner with the owner, Joy. The ladies that run this store are truly creative, kind and service oriented. Make sure you stop in and see what they have to offer. You'll find some of our great finds and refinished furniture mixed into the space. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Third, we decided to move our booth space to a new location. Beginning on November 2nd, we moved into a larger space at <a href="http://theunlistedmarket.com/" target="_blank">Unlisted</a> in Centennial. We are so excited to bring you more merchandise, furniture and vintage finds in this unique store. You can find everything from pies to candles, clothing and gifts at this fun artisan mart. Make sure you venture to the back room where our booth is located in a prime corner space. AND the first Thursday of every month is <a href="http://theunlistedmarket.com/upcoming-events/" target="_blank">Ladies Night</a> from 5:00-8:00. Deals galore, free wine and snacks. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Fourth, Karli took a giant leap of faith and left her job to pursue this exciting business full time.

We'll have some fantastic finds for you in our booth! Plan to arrive early to snatch up some wonderful painted furniture as well as unique found items that will be perfect in your home this fall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We can't show you everything...... but, we wanted to give you a little sneak peek!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We have one dining set with 4 chairs (one captain's chair and three side chairs) painted a warm distressed gray. They will be upholstered before we bring them. The dining table, with two leaves, has a beautiful wood top with the legs painted in the same gray. You'll have to wait to see the table there.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here are a few primitive pieces. The old wood chest was possibly used as a blanket chest. It has dove-tail joinery and was put together with hand-forged square nails which date it to the 1800's. It has been "touched on" with love and would be a perfect coffee table. Several of the rusty found pieces include an old tin can, a rake, and some antique wood presses. The little wood high chair is precious too. There is nothing quite like old wood and rust to warm up a home.</span><br />

From her I witnessed the joy to be found in hosting a great party. I love <a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2015/01/stella-dot-announcement.html" target="_blank">jewelry</a> and glitz. I like to pour through magazines and recreate looks for myself. And I love leopard. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My grandma started wearing and decorating with leopard and has never looked back. I don't blame her. Leopard print can often times be considered a neutral! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When I saw the two great chairs (shown below) at <a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2015/08/brick-and-mortar.html" target="_blank">The Vintage Vine</a>, at an amazing price by the way, I knew a blog post was brewing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let's start small. Consider leopard pillows as an accent. Here, we're shown how leopard can add some graphical interest in a peaceful, neutral setting. Keep it simple. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now let's move into furniture upholstered with leopard fabric. Again, starting small, this lovely little frenchy chair has been painted green and the seat has been given a fun leopard fabric. Look how this is paired with simple wood floors, a white hutch and a large print rug. This adds just the right touch of whimsy in the simple space.</span><br />

This homeowner is not afraid to have some fun with her décor and doesn't take herself too seriously. I love the orange bench, all the wood tones and the touches of black. Again, if you really look at this picture, the leopard almost recedes in the space and just reads as a neutral color in the corner of the room. </span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let's end this leopard party with two of my personal favorite examples. I think these are probably the most realistic ways to use leopard chairs based on how I decorate my own home and the style I know many of my friends are going for. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The first is an example of how you'd use two leopard arm chairs in a seating area in a living room. The beauty of the two chairs we have at the store right now is (besides the price!) that they are a matched set. They are begging to be used together. Imagine the space below with the second chair and perhaps a little loveseat in your front sitting room. All that white is the perfect backdrop for some really funky chairs!</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">And finally, what if you put the two chairs in your bedroom?! Have some fun and get a painted dresser. Make the room a little bit eclectic and boho. Like I said before, the leopard and black chairs will be a neutral in the room, so you can add orange or plum or green. Go feminine with light pink.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Where's your store?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Do you have a shop?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Where can I find you again?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Up until last weekend, the answer to that question was, "You can read the blog and find us at the Paris Street Market once a year."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And that was a bummer. We wanted more. We wanted the chance to build relationships with our customers and set beautiful displays and curate a set of merchandise to make people happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And then it happened. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They say timing is everything and they don't joke! Karli started doing research into vendors like us who had been successful at opening a retail store and she stumbled upon the website </span><a href="http://finditonthevine.com./"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">FindItOnTheVine.com.</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> One phone call to the shop and the rest is, as you say, history.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Vintage Vine is the cutest little store located in </span><a href="http://www.downtownlittleton.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Historic Downtown Littleton</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">. The building itself is a craftsman style home. The manager of the store and concept, Stacey, is a hard-working, kind-hearted, keen-eyed woman. Along with Stacey and seven other vendors, we now share the space---and boy what a lovely space it is!!</span><br />

We haven't recapped the June show!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The day started off a bit cloudy and overcast. As we were unpacking, it was actually a comfortable temperature. We had a better system for the "unload" portion this year, so it all seemed to go smoother. We were set up sooner than last year and we actually had time to take a few more pictures of the booth before shoppers came and picked their items.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We had a big white section this year. Karli had picked up this old desk earlier in the year and it served as a focal point for one section. The white and gray chairs above were the very first items to be sold (at 7:30 am---before the show even opened). We always take bets on what will go first. Neither of us guessed that one. We were happy to see them go to someone who loved them!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Along the back we placed a few more primitive and industrial item as well as the wine lamp that Dwight built. So many people stopped by to check it out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> We took our customary selfie before the crowds got too big. It was still cloudy until about 9:00 am. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We had a steady crowd from about 8:30 until 11:00. Around 11:00 it got pretty warm, but there were dark clouds building above. Around 1:00 the rain came. So we pulled everything we could under the tent. At that point the crowds really started to dwindle. </span><br />

Every time we bring gray pieces to our shows, they seem to go early so it only makes sense that my two newest old pieces get a shade of gray as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We are giving you a glimpse of the "Wine Bottle Chandelier" that we will be taking to the <em>Paris Street Market</em> this weekend, Saturday, June 6, 2015. Hubby worked hard on this.....all I did was empty the bottles! Oh and yes, I did scrub off the labels and paint the finished product with an Oil Rubbed Bronze finish. I must admit that I really didn't drink all twelve bottles of wine, I had help from family and friends.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here are pictures of the finished product. This could be the perfect fixture over your bar area or dining room table. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The wine bottles are all shades of green and amber. The chandelier measures 15 inches in diameter and 33 1/2 inches in height. It has two clear light bulbs inside the ring of bottles. It will need to be "hard wired", so if you do not have talents in that area, you will need an electrician to assist you in hanging it. Hubby already has orders from me and Karli but maybe this one could go home with you if you arrive at the show early enough. If your ceilings are higher and you need one specially made for you, he could probably be persuaded. You might even want to empty your own bottles!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We are looking forward to seeing you at the Show,</span><br />

We hope you plan to join us on June 6th for this fun, unique way to shop for home decor, furniture, clothing, jewelry and more! We'll also be there in September too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The information below was originally posted last year as we prepped for the show, but it is worth repeating for market newbies and those of you just wondering what the heck we're doing.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>What exactly is the Paris Street Market?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The street market is an outdoor gathering of vendors with goods to sell. But there's more to it than that...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>What will I find?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This is the best part! The market offers unique goods that you won't find at just any retailer, big box store or in a catalog. The creators of the market had a vision from the beginning...They wanted to sell vintage and antique items. Items that had been "found" and will make your home different than the rest. Over the years, there are now more handmade items and a few wholesale vendors that offer cute clothes, jewelry and art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here are a few of the pieces we're planning to bring...</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>When and where is the market?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The market takes place the first Saturday of each month, May through October. It runs from 8:00 am to 3:00, rain or shine. (We're really hoping for a nice day when we participate in two weeks). The market in Littleton is at <a href="http://www.shopaspengrove.com/event/a-paris-street-market/2145435721" target="_blank">Aspen Grove Shopping Center</a> just off Santa Fe. Trust us, you can't miss it...its set up right in the middle of the parking lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><strong>What should I know before I go?</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The market is often crowded. So many people bring dogs, so watch out for leashes! There will be people milling in and out of booths, so bring your patience and courtesy. Most vendors will take checks, but cash is always appreciated. With new technology, some vendors can take cards as well. We are planning to offer this service in our booth. There are some food vendors available in case you need a snack or drink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Finally, a tip from these two veteran street market shoppers. Come with an open mind. If you're on the hunt for a lime green 24 x 48 desk, you might not find it. But if you come knowing that you'd like to find an interesting piece that can be used as a desk (or whatever), then you may just leave with something better than you'd ever imagined.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Opps...one more tip. If you see something you love, buy it. So many times we've walked away from something great thinking "I'll make the rounds and come back if there's nothing better." And guess what...when we make our way back, someone else has taken our piece! (<em>that coffee table still haunts Karli's memory</em>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">If you have any questions about what you'll find, what to bring, or how to get there just let us know. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">We hope to see you there and if you're a blog reader, be sure to mention how you found us. We'll have something special for you!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01552323782649433651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1703106070111311490.post-28965081824629333002015-04-30T16:48:00.000-06:002015-06-03T18:58:13.365-06:00Karli's Latest Accessory<script data-pin-hover="true" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today I got the most useful, life-changing accessory to add to my <a href="http://kindredstyle.blogspot.com/2015/01/stella-dot-announcement.html">favorite jewelry</a>, scarves and makeup. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What is this awe-inspiring piece?!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A hearing aid. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Yep. This girl just got a brand new, tiny little hearing aid and I'm THRILLED!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Let me rewind things for you a little bit. (You'll understand why I'm so excited!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On March 6th I woke up with a clogged right ear, some dizziness and I just felt "off." I went on with my day and the weekend, just getting worse...thinking I had an ear infection from allergies. I set up an appointment with my general physician on Monday morning and she said she just thought it was allergies too. No ear infection, just congestion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Not happy with that answer, I started searching for other remedies. I tried acupuncture. I went to the chiropractor. I tried essential oils. I would think there was relief, but hours later I was back to square one. Nothing helped me hear and the dizziness got worse. I remember walking down the hall one day at work and I couldn't walk straight---I had to hold on to the wall to get to my office. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I decided it was time to visit an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist about two weeks later. Come to find out I had Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss from an unknown cause. Then started lots of tests including an MRI to rule out any sort of tumor. They also tried lots of different medications to attempt to bring my hearing back. Nothing worked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At my last appointment the doctor told me there was nothing more she could do and I would just have to deal with the hearing loss and that hearing aids wouldn't help. That was a sad day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Even more upsetting was the day at work when I realized I was missing things that colleagues were saying while they were sitting right next to me. And hearing in social situations or places with background noise...forget it. I shed lots of tears those days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Not one to accept "no" for an answer, I finally got an appointment with one of Denver's premiere hearing specialists today. And I'm happy to say that I was able to get assistance from a hearing aid. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I listened to the radio for the first time in about 60 days. It was marvelous!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Be your best advocate. Trust your gut. Be well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Karli</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">That also means we need to get our tails in gear. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I gave up on finding one to buy. I ended up purchasing a twin size sheet set at<em> WalMart.</em> From the flat sheet I created a duvet cover by sewing the edges together lengthwise. One pillowcase came in the set, so I simply sewed up a matching one from the fitted sheet. I have enough leftover sheet to create something else later. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Here is a look at what it all looks like now:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The fabric was just perfect, a high-count sateen sheet set that is washable. I love this print:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The pillowcases go well with the lumbar pillow that Karli had given me:</span><br />

The official "F</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">irst Day of Spring" has come, but that does not mean a great deal in the part of Colorado where we live. We have, however, had some really nice days, so I decided it was time to make the front door "Springy."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">My green outdoor pillow came out to play. The black vase gets a touch of green with the addition of some "faux" fern, and I created a new greeting sign from an old window. Instant Spring at our house.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Inside, the Eastlake Dresser gets a "real" green plant and a bunny. That is about as much time as I have for Spring decorating. </span><br />
