Shabby Chic Couch

Happy Weekend Everyone!  I wanted to share a recent photo shoot that I did with Chelsy Ann Photography.  Chelsy does great work and I needed updated pictures, so we recently collaborated.  But if you know me, a photo shoot is not as much fun with out some thing vintage... so we added a a gold shabby chic couch.  I wanted to share some of the pics from this project to offer up a starting place for your own creative ideas.  What would you do with a couch in your engagements, or family pictures?  This couch will soon be up on our website for rental along with all of our others.  I think this is a great piece because it is unique; it has worn fabric and some stitching that's missing.  But, that is what makes this couch so unique and "shabby chic".  Some things look gorgeous when you have a little history left behind on them.  Don't believe me?  Check it out!

Origami Owl

Last week a friend of mine rented one of Odds and Ends frames for a boutique display.  Origami Owl is the name of the company and they sell some really cute jewelery.  I love when others find new ways to use our inventory!  The set of white distressed frames seem to be some of my favorites and the ideas are endless with these.  If you have a frame at home that you love, why not try this idea as a new kind of jewelery box?  You take tacks and apply on the back of the frame to hang all of your necklaces (then they don't tangle, either)!  So even if you don't have a reason to rent a frame, this is a great way to use a frame you love at home!

Last Week's Wrap Up



 Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth yesterday!  I enjoyed getting to meet brides face to face.  It was so nice to see not only brides but those who were interested in our rentals for other events or photo shoots, too.  Our rentals are limitless and we decorate for any and every occasion!  We have SO many new pieces debuting this week.  Keep an eye out.  :)  I have found a lot of fun new things and felt Odds and Ends would benefit having them.  Our new wall from the show is one new item we have that can be used in so many different ways.  It has 9 hooks on it which you can hang anything on.... did I mention it's a chalkboard too!?  Also our two matching blue chairs debuted yesterday.  I think we need to name them!  We had weddings this past week, a bridal show, and new items.  It was a busy week and I loved every minute!

Barn Wedding

Tonight I rented to a bride who chose her reception to be in a gorgeous and very unique setting, the Green Gardens Barn in Marriot Slaterville, Utah.  This was somewhere I haven't been before and was so fun for me to see.  I love to see how some pieces can be rented by brides time and time again and be transformed into something totally different to fit their own individual style and taste.  See if you can find which pieces I am talking about!  I displayed some pictures below with some of our different items.  I love how the couch was used tonight as well.  I would have never before thought to use the couch as an area to collect your gifts at the reception.  But this worked out perfect!  While up in the Ogden area today I came across a couple new finds, too.  Let's just say some new furniture is on it's way to our inventory online!  Keep an eye out for more wedding receptions in the future as well!
