I am always amazed at how long it takes me to complete a project, and not in a good way! It's good to hear that I'm not the only one. Thanks for being real!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching :)
The prints are perfect where you hung them.
The prints are perfect in that space!!!!❤
Well my heart skipped a beat when you showed the light house painting. It is the Portland Head Light, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I am from Maine, now in Maryland. It is a beautiful light house in person. Enjoy your channel, new subbie.
Really? That’s great! Thank you for sharing! I love hearing the story of it :)
The botanical prints found it's niche in your home.
Thanks, Melanie!
Your paint by number looks very much like the light house at Fort Williams Park, Cape Elizabeth Maine! (Portland Headlight).
Great video Melanie! Loved that fusion blue painted furniture piece with the white knobs!
Thank you!
Actually I noticed one of your flower prints in the beginning of your video in the background. 🥰they are lovely prints and show well where you hung them 😊
Your paint-by-number picture is of Portland Head Light in Maine. Very cute!
Yes! Thank you!
Love the prints! The prints for that space very well. Enjoyed your mixed video!
Oh those look so so so good in that room! Love those botanical prints; they’re gorgeous. And you know what??…I’m a 3 week project girl too. 😊
Thanks Courtney! Glad I’m not alone :)
Love those prints! I noticed those in your booth and would have picked them up had I been given a chance!
The prints look so much better in the space!
Thank you Melanie for what you do. I have excel spreadsheets for my booth items also but a little more in-depth. I too keep track of the things you do on your lists but I do number everything, with a description and include the date I place it in the booth and also the month it sells. I also take a picture of every item with the tag attached in case I can’t remember what the item was by my description. A lot of work but necessary for my peace of mind.
I finally started painting barn quilts when I moved to SC 5 years ago. (I had first learned about them in 2009 but there was no call for them in South Florida) I’m a retired draftsman and have drawn over a 100 different patterns to eventually paint. I’m saddened that even the people here have no idea what they are…..and there are so many barns. Anyway, I’m rambling. Thank you for your content and the time it takes to share.
Great job on your detailed inventory tracking! That helps so much in really knowing what is working for your business and what isn't. And I am impressed that you have drawn your own patterns!
Those prints look great in that room!!!
Prints look amazing there
Thanks!
I like your mish-mash vid, Melanie. Sometimes that's the way it goes. I could almost taste that apple cider. I bought a couple botanical prints for resale a few years ago, that are very similar to yours, but a bit smaller. Guess where they are .... Hanging in my dining room, that's where. I loved them too much also. (giggle)
I wish I could have sent some cider your way! It really was delicious 😊 Thanks for watching!
My son and I was lucky one yr to go to a old days thing (cant think of the name of it) and got to make putter spoons and buttons. I love getting to do stuff like that
I love that big farm picture in your booth
Yes! It’s a cool print!
Melanie, I really enjoyed this video, and the wall area that you chose for your floral prints was PERFECT. Looking forward to more of your videos, especially more on staging, decorating and design. Hint!!! Hint!!! Hint!!! 🙃
Thanks for the hint Kay!
Hi 👋 I'm from Memphis also!
Sweet! Are you a Tiger Basketball fan by any chance 🐅🏀? That’s my other obsession 😂
I've always felt my creativity was lacking somehow as I've never been great coming up with something from just my brain. I'm so glad to know that you feel the same way, and yet you turn out amazing projects. Thank you for sharing! I'm absolutely going to try the painted board quilts.
I hope you do! I think you will enjoy them :)
Really enjoyed this video! Your booth looks great! Enjoyed seeing the outdoor market and the prints are perfect in that room!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Omgoodness that huge map above your desk is amazing Melanie!! Thanks for sharing your week!
It is one of my favorite pieces!
I’m so happy to hear that I’m not alone in needing more time to get things completed! I so often feel pulled in many directions as well. Thanks for another fun video!
Thanks for watching!
@@LostFoundDecor in a
Love the video. The Prints are perfect. I can't wait to see the Barn Quilts. The two dressers are beautiful. Your boys are adorable. You have inspired me to do a Barn Quilt. Thank you
You’re so welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Those prints look great there.
Love the prints in your room, they are perfect there
I’m glad you kept the prints. Some items are more valuable to you than the money you can get from selling them. I have a Weiss brooch that I love that didn’t sell for what it was worth to me, so I brought it home. I’m especially glad I kept it, because I’ve never seen another one like it.
Love the prints in there. Very interesting video.
I love lighthouses ❤
The prints are beautiful and look great in your house!
Thank you!
Your booth looks great! Love the botanical prints you hung at your house. I sell a good bit of those in my booth. I have some to hang in my sitting room, but haven't had time to do it yet. They'll probably be out of style by the time I get them hung🙈
Thanks so much for all of your good advice. I love your channel.
I hear ya! We’ve been working on our bedroom and it’s so far a 2 year project 🤦🏼♀️
@@LostFoundDecor well, hang in there. You are busy working and raising your boys--making memories. 😊
Another trick that I’ve done when painting taped off areas, is paint the undercoat on the taped lines, let that dry well, then add color. No bleeding, usually! Some people even use a bit of mod podge on the taped lines. I’ve not tried that, but I can see how it’d work too! I’m off to get some surfaces to paint some quilt blocks now!! Thanks for the inspiration!! ❤
Thanks for the tips :)
I'm from Memphis. I loved the Iris print the first time you shared it...Tennessee State flower. I have lavender colored Iris bulbs from my mother's garden. I take them with me every where I move...currently East Tennessee.
Hi Sally! Yes, my mom had irises in our yard growing up. I love that you can dig some up and move them along with you! Best wishes in East Tennessee :)
Great video Melanie! Love your decorating. Could you share with me the actual paint color and brand that you used to paint your green desk? Thanks
Thanks John! I purchased that desk new actually, from Ballard Designs
Great video, enjoyed seeing your booth! I loved your comment about seeing things moved around and showing “people are shopping”. I had always seen it as such a nuisance that people cant just put things back where they found them. I think I need to adopt your perspective! Also as a new seller I was encouraged that I keep the same type of inventory system. I add a few things like what my item actually sold for.
Yep, I get it! It’s kind of a pain to keep things clean and organized, but does show people have been in your booth!
I was hoping you was going to stack the two pictures one above the other on one side of the wall to give the illusion of tall ceilings.
That could have worked as well! But right now I don’t have anything to balance the other side out. Perhaps if I find something I may try that display option.
Love the botanical prints
Thanks Louise!
Great video I find myself jumping from one project to another. School time takes a lot of my attention away from my project lol.
Yes… lots of “real life” we have to do too, right? Thanks for watching!
I love the prints. Was eyeing the iris print during the booth your part of the video! Have a lavender powder room with a gallery wall where it would look perfect! So glad you brought home!
I need to get started trying to sell my stuff but work full time so booth isn't an option (too time consuming) Think I am frozen with "fear of failure" and not knowing where to start. If I don't lose this fear my husband might start calling me a hoarder 😬
Maybe open an Etsy shop? Just try a few things? I get it though, it’s so fun to hunt down and find the new things!
This was a fun video! Thanks! 😊
Thanks for watching :)
If the watercolor has a Etsy shop or website please let us know. I’m obsessed with her blue watercolor kits (and the barn quilt.., I might try one) thanks a bunch for sharing
Here it is! tramcolwinstudio.com
I love those prints in that space, they are so pretty. Is there a link or a website to purchase some of the copper pieces that guy was making, they are so very beautiful. What a great place to shop, so interesting. I live in Arkansas as well but my husband has dementia so I am not able to leave him to travel or I would be heading up your way. Love your channel, you are so sweet and smart.
Thank you Charlotte for your kind comment! I’m not what all they have listed in their online shop, but here is the link. I’m sure you could reach out via email also (at the bottom of their website) and ask about the copper pieces, if they’re not on there. They are beautiful! www.bramblesandbailey.com
Hi- Could you describe what you did after painting the dresser with the beautiful blue paint…exactly what did you do after painting and how many coats did you use?
Hi! Yes, I used 2 coats on it. Then added a layer of the Fusion Beeswax Finish, just to add a subtle sheen. Fusion Mineral Paint doesn’t require an additional topcoat to seal the paint, but I find a little bit of an oily wax helps the darker colors not show so many scuffs and fingerprints
@@LostFoundDecor Thank you!!
I would love to try the Fusion paint. Do you have a booklet of the colors that are available and maybe a sample or two that I could try? Thanks for your help!
Hi Nancy! Absolutely :) I ship Fusion every day from my online shop, and have testers available in every color. There is a print version free color chart you can download (it’s only approximate though) and a true painted color card we sell for $3.99. It’s on the very last page of all the Fusion colors lostandfounddecor.shop/collections/buy-fusion-mineral-paint-online
Love this video... Just wondering what brush you used with the Willowbank - which is STUNNING btw!🤩
Oh gosh, I knew there was something else I forgot to link, I’m sorry! I use the large size, although the medium size is also great :) lostandfounddecor.shop/products/staalmeester-ultimate-one-round-synthetic-paint-brush
Melanie, I love your blue and white scalloped-edge placemats at 12:30!
Are they quilted? Knit or crocheted? (I'm on my phone so I can't really see them in detail...)
Enjoyed your video very much❣
Thank you! I bought them new (maybe at HomeGoods?) a long time ago! They are quilted
That vintage LOTTO game box with all the cards has just charmed me and now I am searching online for one!!!🤎🤎🤎
It was neat, wasn’t it? I can message them and ask if they still have it for sale?
Strange question: I somehow noticed reviewing this video how I like the neutral green color your mall booth walls/pegboard etc is painted. Do you know what that color is?
It came that way! Not sure, sorry!
Hi! I noticed a framed farm scene in your booth. I have that same picture in my booth, and I was wondering how you priced it? (I can’t remember off hand what I priced mine at, but I paid $7.50)
I think I have it around $35? It’s a big print, so that seems to be a fair price :)
Not seeing a link to the large round brush.
My bad! Here it is :) I have painting friends who love and use the medium size also lostandfounddecor.shop/products/staalmeester-ultimate-one-round-synthetic-paint-brush
Can you spell the word you use for small decor designs. I tried vinyette and it wasn't right
Sure :) It’s vignette
Do you have trouble, getting receipts for second hand items, so that you can prove how much you paid for them to the tax office? At least one British reselling channel says this is a problem.
Most of my items I buy at thrift shops and flea markets, they do provide receipts. My garage sale finds, obviously not. But I make my own recordings of the cost and haven’t had any tax issues :)
The prints are in good proportion to the wall on each side of the window and you hung them at a good height. The former decoration you did with the plates, etc. did not work at all, sorry. I’m a corporate art consultant and redesign expert, so the prints were a much needed solution. Congrats!
I agree, they weren’t working! They were place holders … things I enjoyed looking at, but not right for the spot. Sometimes it takes awhile for me to find the right things :) Thanks for watching!
