This armoire has been partially painted and distressed by my antique booth buddy B.
We filled it with brown and white transferware.
We sold several pieces of furniture and that made room for this armoire.
Do you recognize the harlequin lamp?
It is one of my most visited posts from 2012.
We hung thrifted black and white drapes in our two windows.
A hippie, from the 70's, came and took the other drapes back.
We almost kissed that hippie.
Sassy cow anyone?
Or is it a bull?
The French Girl is made from alabaster.
Vietri dishes, hand painted in Italy, are comfy in a bamboo container.
I want them and the transferware but I am behaving y'all.
Come see us at The Broome Closet booth at Ridge Antiques
in Ridge Spring, South Carolina.

Love your space, I'm so glad to hear things are going well! now why don't I live close enough to shop?
ReplyDeleteI adore that lamp! I'm not surprised everyone else does too. I'm developing a yen for brown transfer ware now. Where on earth would I put it?

Olive, you are teasing me with all these pretty things. What is the brown and white piece on the bottom shelf right hand side?
ReplyDeleteOlive, I like that armoire. The transfer ware looks great in it. I like the little jug sitting on top also. xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThe display is charming, the curtains are perfect. I wish you the very best here.
ReplyDeleteIf I were in SC, you betcha I'd be visiting you! I'd be buying that sassy bull and possibly the hand-painted dishes. The armoire with the transferware in it is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the brown and white combo together. It looks great in the hutch. Olive my blog move so you may need to update me in your blog roll. The URL is the same but for some reason you have to delete me and re add for it to take effect.

You're selling that darling lamp? I bet it won't last long. The sassy cow is so cute with it too. Yes, brown transferware is something I wish I'd gone in for but at this stage my one piece will have to do. I like everything in your armoire.
ReplyDeleteOlive the pattern on that transferware is so pretty. I think brown is my favorites of the tranferware. It makes for a beautiful table. I saw several things in your photos I love. I always am telling Dale I need about 3 homes to have all the pretty little things I would like to have. Of course he just laughs because he knows keeping this one clean is more than I can do :)))) Okay...so he should get me 3 maids too.
ReplyDeletemany hugs to you...
Such a great display to tempt the customers! It is very appealing especially the bust on top with the wrapped jar. Tell B I love her home office, too.
ReplyDeleteI do like the way the armoire has been partially distressed - it is difficult to get it right, but you have got it spot on.
ReplyDeleteOlive - that brown transferware looks great in that armoire! I have a partial set of that and would love to have more. Just what I need - more dishes!
ReplyDeleteYour booth looks amazing!

I love brown transferware. So much warmer looking than the blue that so many people use. Hope you had a great day today! xox
ReplyDeleteOlive the transferware and the cabinet are the perfect compliment to each other. What a great idea to just paint some of it. Lots of pretty things to look at - I hope your venture is going really well. Ann
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat it would be to be able to visit your booth, Olive!!! Sounds like it's going well for you all.

What a great looking display! Nothing predictable about it. Love that little lady.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling transformation! Love the brown and white together and the chicken wire. Never have seen this before. She's great at what she does and your booth is delightful! I still want that chandelier, but David says I must be behave:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful items! Love the lamps (of course)! I'd love to shop at your booth!
ReplyDeleteI love your brown transfer ware . . . Lovely pieces.
ReplyDeleteWish I owned that bigger bust! The armoire is lovely, and so are all the dishes filling it.
ReplyDeleteXOXO,

Brown used to be my least favourite colour of transferware but it sure is growing on me. Of course, you have a real talent for display and make everything look so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love brown transfer ware.....you have lots of wonderful goodies in your booth :o)
