Heading into fall and freedom!

Hey all! Crazy times at the office while census ops are in full swing. We are supposed to be done by Sept 30th and we will probably be done with our work before that. My last day is coming soon! It’s been a wild ride but I am thankful for all the money they pumped into my savings account and I am ready to focus on things here as I prepare for life as a homeschool mom! Who would have thought 2020 would be such a whacky year?! The cyber school is working out great for my son, who broke his femur a month ago! Yes, been dealing with a full schedule and all of this on top of it. I got this! It’s almost over.

I have just picked up some fun items at my wholesaler and am pricing them and will be adding to my retail space at Fleetwood Antique Mall later today. Will also list them on my website for those of you who need shipping. Here’s a preview!

I grabbed some super textiles, a Bunch Of cool retro coaster sets and even a singLe set of mud cloth placemats.

Update on my current restoration! I should be picking this up complete later in the week, but I got a sneak peak of my latest piece in restoration! What I know: this adorable chair was found a few blocks from where I grew up. It is small in size but super sexy. It’s original fabric was great but had seen better days and the foam in the seat needed replaced. I do not know who the maker is of the chair, but I do know it is going to look and feel fantastic in the new threads I picked! Como Velvet from designer Michelle Nussbaumer for Clarence House textiles is very expensive, but I got a connection and scored this tomato red for only $30/yard. It probably retails for closer to $200/yard in the real world! This is heavy duty and gorgeous, the two things you need when investing into a project you want to outlive you. I love this orangey red which will make a super accent piece and it will have all the right details! As you will see, it is getting the royal treatment with all internals rebuilt as needed for a comfy structure. It will be photographed and listed as soon as I get it in my grubby hands!

I love how this velvet shimmers in the light, bouncing between red and orange hues. It will be an awesome warm accent peRfect for an eClectic or period room. Mid century style updated with modern threads and ready for another life!

Stay tuned for final pics! If you are in the market for a new upholstered chair, please consider either chair I have ready to go! They are beauties!

Stop by my retail space soon as I am stocking with great gifts and fall camping items. The antique mall will be hosting a crafting event on Sept 5th with vendors and food. The event link is pinned to the top of my Facebook page or click here: https://facebook.com/events/s/covid-craft-fair-with-mayfield/762461624580659/?ti=icl

I think this is all the updates for now. Reach out if I can help you! I am moving things pretty fast this year so if you see something you love, jump on it! XO Malissa
