~ Before and After Part 2 ~




Ok, I will finally get off the bandwagon and quit posting pics of my new booth, but I found a picture of the booth before I took over. It is always amazing to me the befores and afters in any type of decorating or projects. I am always floored by peoples differing views of styles and choices in what they do. It is what makes us unique and not boring. I find myself now going from booth to booth saying hmmmm needs a little stain there or should be this color instead of that.....Boy! Am I getting picky or what? Not everyones vision is the same-thank goodness!!!...

  3. In the words of the French (or Texan)...Tray Magnifike!
    Everything is just beautiful, but it's really hard not to stare at the walls. You may have a career opportunity there just waiting on you.

  4. Yes, it certainly is a good thing that everyone's vision isn't the same. but, I have to say, your space surely looks lovely and inviting, and the before? Not even sure I would have walked into it. Totally boring and unappealing. I do like the antique furniture, but most of the rest of the stuff? Blehh.

  8. What a difference! The before looks like a junky old antique mall space that isn't inviting at all. If I was shopping, I might give a quick glance, but I doubt I'd do any more than that and would just keep on moving.

    But the after ... whole different story, it's warm, inviting, beautifully merchandized. It would draw me in, enchant and intrigue me and I know I would spend a bunch of time looking at everything in the space. And that's what you want when you're setting sales displays, isn't it? Get the customer in and keep them there so they find something they cannot live without.

    Boy, you sure could give a lesson or two to the before space owner!

  12. I love your booth, show it as many times as you would like! I wish I could do something to the walls in my booth, but no can do! I'm thinking of putting some burlap on the walls, that way its removeable!
