Taking the Cake at Cake, or, Decidedly Delicious Vintage & Home Accessories!

Time has flown since the October High Point Furniture Market and have just discovered these photos I took while designer friend Sandra was placing an order at CAKE.

I'm not going to try to explain what CAKE is all about. Just savor these photos. I have never been particularly passionate about silverware and teacups but how I loved what these designers and artisans have done with such things and more.

Know you will enjoy as much as I did!

Now I must find the adorable young man who delivers his decadent homemade cupcakes around the Mill. Just got this sudden craving.

Redesigning my studio, or, fun with old stuff!

I've been at my current studio location in a 1898 restored flannel mill for three years now. My Morrocan-inspired decor in cheery bright oranges and greens and yellows made me love showing up to work.

But I do love change. Just when I'm too busy to think about a project, I always jump in head first.

So I went to my favorite High Point Furniture Market vendor and scored lots of industrial-crusty-funky new treasures. As designer-friend Sandra and I were unloading our haul, I was selling the old treasures right and left.

Yesterday, while hubby made the coolest ever metal rolling walls, I finished this project:

 
THE NEW DESIGN CONFERENCE AREA:

My old rolling table found at a used fixture store, plus new metal stools.

I COMBINED:

An old piece of frosty glass, plus a new stencil from Royal Design Studio, and some leftover Annie Sloan paint:

Love it!

Stay tuned for a little more studio magic...
