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!

EXPANSION!


Kitschy has expanded it's space at The Parker Shoppes.  We went from this...


 ...to this!  With more room, comes more treasures!  

We try to fill every empty space we can with our treasures just for you!



 Kitschy always has an abundance of painted frames!  
 We also started listing some of our pieces on CRAIGSLIST like this funky upholstered chair!

 Metal Dress form listed on CRAIGSLIST one day and BAM!...SOLD!!! 

 This table has a countertop that is gold speckled-super cool and vintage in its truest form!

 Vintage 2-tier accent table, painted turquoise, of course!  
 An old potatoe bin perfect for storage in your kitchen.  Not just for potatoes!  

 An old school desk that we decided to fashion up a bit.  Rebecca painted it antique white!  Not like any other!  

 Check out this funky mirror-plastic, lightweight, current shabby chic look!

 Handmade kitchen table painted barn red



 2 piece hutch with bookshelf and cabinets that come apart.   What a great piece for storage and displaying collectibles!  


 Chicken wire frame (sans the hats!)   SOLD OFF OF CRAIGLIST!!

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!

Sweet William Market-Stapleton

Sweet William Street Market in Stapleton.  Our first time.  It was a beautiful HUGE space and we could of fit so much more in it.  Sold about 1/3 of what we make at Paris Street Market.  Still, there was great weather as the leaves were falling, great music (acoustic guitar-our favorite) and great food (Rebecca and I shared a spicey steak sandwich).  A delightful day, just wish we could of made more CASH!
Sold this vintage beauty to a gal who is going to use it as a vanity!

Had a customer interested in this at Sweet William but could not buy it that day.  Gave her a business card and she called us the following weekend at Paris Street Market and bought it there!

 This antique, repainted, beautiful waterfall dresser is still available at our booth at Colorado Antique Gallery!  

 Sold this unique buffet piece at Paris and it was a beast to get into our customer's car.  I almost droppped my end.  It was super heavy!

July in Paris-Hot Hot Hot Hot Hot!

Here we go again!  Another early morning set up at Paris Street Market with our trusty husbands!  
 We love you boys!  
 We had another helping hand today...Andrea, Rebecca's sister.  She was our "errand girl" and refreshed our drinks and filled our empty tummy's with food whenever we needed it!  We love you, Andrea!
 As many times as we have set up this tent, one of us still pinches our finger in it!  Yeow!

 Phew, complete in just the knick of time!
 Me, Andrea and Rebecca "taking a load off"! 
 This is my "artsy-fartsy" shot of Rebecca through one of our door windows.
 This photo is important because it shows how our booth gets smaller and smaller as the day goes by.  We just keep moving everything up and we LOVE when this happens!
 Darling Rebecca
This was one of the hottest months we have had at Paris.  We even went so far as to pour water down our shirts.
