So not much gilding getting done on the barn lately because work has been so slow. So I decided to do a home show. Never done one before, so I was really nervous, but I have to say it was great.
It was a job to set up but it really came out nice.
My white home depot door that I turned into Patina's Bronze metal with "wrought iron" over the glass was a big hit. The column samples on the left cracked me up. The Cowboy said not to stack them because someone might knock them over. But then people kept throwing trash in them because they were low to the ground! So I went ahead and stacked them up.
I think it was a huge success and hopefully some good jobs will come out of it so that we can have the funds to start Gilding the Barn again!
But today, I'm on the couch. I am pooped!
~*~*Looks like it turned out great!!~*~* Rachel :)
ReplyDeleteI'm headed there, too ...
ReplyDeletejust cleaned the entire "ranch"
A great idea to drum up business and the set up looks fabulous!!! Now I'm off to the couch too!
ReplyDeleteShows ARE very hard work!! You're "on" for the whole day with little or no breaks -- it's stressful but physically and mentally! For me anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteYour space there looked great, though! I hope you do get some nice jobs from your efforts!! ;)
