Flea Market To Fabulous

Every opportunity to custom create is an honor and privilege. But weddings are extra special. The beginning of a new chapter surrounded by people who have loved the couple throughout their lives. You’ve seen the progress of this piece- once an antique bed and a vintage bookcase. Then it was a useful wedding prop will become a hall tree in the newlywed’s home. Petals and Co put on an amazing floral display and the setup was an expression of vintage charm. Congrats to to both families and thanks for letting us be part of this fairytale wedding❤️.

Vintage jewelry, repurposed items, beautiful antique furniture, reupholstery and the best shop cats in town. Supervising or sleeping. Come in and say hello to Lilly and Theo.

Our working shop has been buzzing. Refinishing, repairing, reinventing your tired furniture. Hunting for quality antique and vintage furniture to sell. Reupholstering your worn out chairs and creating custom stools. All these fabulous things in one one spot. On the corner of Spring & Lawrence since 2006!

What’s been going on? Lots of the things we do best- reinventing the furniture you bring us to become fabulous. Two identical dressers came in with two very different futures. One classic and the other a bit more dramatic for a little girl’s room. Black and stain combo never disappoints especially with sleek vintage hardware. But the other was a bit more challenging finding the exact color the customer visioned. But we remix as needed until the perfect color is achieved. The top was a laminate product that couldn’t be lightened so we did a paint technique for a light wood effect. Metallic gold detail on drawers and vintage hardware were like jewels making the dress amazing. And we made one little girl feel like a princess.

What’s been going on?…..Where do we begin? The past two weeks have been filled with our working shop working overtime. Soooo many custom creations in the works it’s a bit of a traffic jam. Here’s a peak at one very special project. It’s wouldn’t be wedding season without some fabulous props and wedding decor. We took an antique bed and Marie’s the head board and footboard with a bookshelf and cool legs. When complete it will be a guests seating chart. Post wedding it will be a hall tree in the newlyweds home. To be continued.

Bye Bye Buy to some of our favorite giant pieces in the shop. And sometimes bigger is better. We get our workout moving furniture in and out. But nothing is better than filling a furniture need with a fabulous find

Time for outdoor decorating. Gardens, porches, patios, decks, yards and fences and more. Stand out and make your space different from the crowd. One of a kind everything just like the Mom in your life. Gifts for you and her.

Who wants a very cool kitchen island? There’s nothing wrong with this antique walnut dining room table but reimagine these legs differently. We do every day. A great pair of legs can become many different things. Made right here in Rockford, it traveled to Springfield. Lived a few different lives and here it is. Ready to become something fabulous for your home or office.
