Welcome

Kitschy began on a summer afternoon when Rebecca and Lisa browsed through an estate sale. They bought a beautiful piece of furniture together and started a business that day! Antiqueing, Thrifting, Flea Markets...that's what they do! They search for one of a kind flea market finds, estate sale treasures, and garage sale fixer uppers. They do the rigorous leg work for you and put in the hours of elbow grease needed to refinish a piece of furniture. (They also pick up lots of fun trinkets, bric brac and artwork along the way!) They have a year round booth that is packed full of inventory at The Parker Shoppes. They also participate in the Paris Street Market May thru October where you are sure to find a one-of-a-kind piece no matter how big or small!

Movin' on up!

The space we started with at The Parker Shoppes was painted purple, so we went there the night before we were to move in and primed and painted with the help of our husbands.  We could not do this without them!  

Took a break while the primer dried and had wings, burgers and onion rings!  Refuel!! 





 
The following night we left the boys behind and left our homes to pick up a hutch that Rebecca bought that day at an estate sale. That was at 4:30 pm.  We finished at 2:30 am.  It took us 10 hours to finish our booth!  Our first step was to hang our lights, which Rebecca did with ease!   


We have lots of wall space so that took a good portion of the night just hanging up stuff!  I think it was about midnight at this point hence the contacts out and the glasses on!  
   
This is when the giddyness set in and everything made me laugh...Probably about 1:00 am.  Did I mention that the only music we could listen to was the station that the store was set on which for some reason was disco?  That's over 8 hours of disco we listened to!
 Our finished project!  This is our Christmas corner.  Rebecca put this together-she is quite the "stager"
 Rebecca's creation - an old screen door and lights...she is something else!
 A wall WAYYYY up high!  We still used it!
 The green hutch is the one we picked up that day!


 This headboard with the frames hanging from it was my idea.  Hammered old rusty nails into that headboard until I couldn't hammer anymore.  Hardest wood I have ever worked with.  Wondering when we are going to get a call saying the whole thing fell to the ground!


  We have a small sized booth, plus the whole wall across from it and this corner wall piece too.  Lots to work with and a bit of a challenge!  We were exhausted and excited at the same time.  Can't wait to see what this adventure brings!
