Rabbit in the Moon

To market, to market...

I do apologize for the lack of posting.  I have been extra busy at the store and by the time I am home I am exhausted.  And I have discovered that having a business is like having HORRIBLE attention deficit... I am always pulled in 500 million directions!  Then I don't finish what I need to finish.  Does anyone identify?

Well this week the posts will be slim because we (my mon and I own the store together) are off to market to find some wonderful, new things for the store and might sneak some things in there for ourselves!  you never know what you are going to find.  Although I love market, I still love my antique malls and flea markets better.  There is a great flea market in Atlanta where we are headed, but I am  not sure if we will make it.  I sure would love to try!  It is called Scott's.  One of my other blog reads, Eddie Ross, has been there to take people on tours.  We were suppose to go with him last time, but ended up not going to market.  Oh well, maybe another time.  When I am back from Atlanta I will have some great posts and ideas for you!!  So please don't think I am not coming back.... I AM!  But  I am not leaving you empty handed... here are some pictures of my bedroom.  I forgot to post these.  And I will be back in a bit some new stuff.  Have a good day!

 

 

 

 

Hope you enjoy... don't have that many more to show you, but once I get them done I will show you.  Have a good week... if I have time I will try to post sooner.

Lemonade Stand

Summer is here in full force this week here in Kentucky.  The air is think and it is HOT.  I think there is no better way to beat this summer heat than with a tall glass of ice, cold lemonade.  Why not have a lemonade stand in the process.... it could be a way to make a little extra money for those curtains I have been needing!!!  But my lemonade stand would not be just ANY lemonade stand, it would of course need to be decorated.  This Lemonade Stand at the Palm Springs Parker resort is my kind of "Lemonade Stand".

 

If I was to design my own lemonade stand it would go something like this:

 

These would be placed around to add pops of color...

vase, Kate Spade

 

This would be used to display my lemons and light fare....

stand from, Rosanna

 

AND these would be my serving piece.

plate, Kate Spade

My lemonade would presented like this

 

but I would use these glasses..

 

And finally I would store the lemonade in this..

glasses, CB2

I do think more drink options would be nice!

Now come to my stand and get some lemonade!!!!

Found

I found some things that I thought I would share with you.  ETSY is one of my favorite websites.  For those of you don't know it is a website that everything is pretty much handmade and there are some CUTE things.  Head over and check it out.  I wanted to show you some cute things that I have found recently that I may have to just purchase in the near future.

 

Plum Pretty Sugar, Pink Love Poppy Tank

Ok that is all I find for now some may come more later!

Today 3 years ago

This boy right here:

 

 

 

....is my jokester, my confidant, my BEST FRIEND, my life and my wonderful husband.  I love you.  Happy 3 year anniversary (we have been together for 8) I don't know what I would do without you!!!  And I love that you like to wear pink shirts :).

Lastly...

And to finish up the posts on the house here are the bedrooms and some random hallways.  I have to say that the bedrooms will be the first things to be redone.  Although I do like them, they aren't my favorite.  But they will do for now.  You have to decide between wants and needs in life..ya know?  Even though it is VERY hard for a designer :).

This is BEFORE Bedroom:

 

This is AFTER Bedroom:

 

 

 

The second bedroom there is no before and after... I told you I did a lowsy job on the picture taking.  I KNOW! :)

 

 

 

Ok I absolutely do not like this curtain... (if you do I am very sorry) but I want something more tailored and not as balloony (not a word I know) but this is what I have now and it will do.  If there is every anything that you all need to ask just comment me!  I am building up some readers so please keep coming back.  There will good stuff coming up after the house segment is complete.  Also, great new items at the store!!!  See you all tom.

Before and Afters.

Most of the time I am so good about taking pictures before I start a project so I will have something to compare to when I finished.  Well of all the things to slack on was this house!!  I forgot to take before pictures of a lot.  Especially the kitchen.  That was the biggest makeover in the whole house... but you can imagine... blue linoleum, oak cabinets, white walls.  Not very decorator friendly.  But lucky for you today I have some before and after pictures to show you.

FAMILY ROOM BEFORE:

 

 

 

FAMILY ROOM AFTER:

 

 

 

 

We still have some electrical work to finish up... aka the cords draping across the entire fireplace area!  Cords drive me NUTS.  They are the most unorganized little subjects.  But that is off the subject...  But this design was done on a budget and was so fun to create a warm and inviting space that represents me as a designer and homeowner.  I am very eclectic with my designing meaning I DO NOT PREFER to go to Pottery Barn and buy a whole set up.  I like to pull from different areas and create a piece of art.  The art being the room for some of you who might not be following me since it is late and I am trying to finish without going to sleep.  Have a wonderful day and I will be back tomorrow with more rooms in my house.

And on to the next room...

This is the dining room.  The furniture was passed down from my grandmother who passed away and I love having a little piece of her with me.  The curtain fabric was found at a local thrift store and then I made them into panels.  All other trinkets and furniture vintage.

 

 

 

Hope you like :)

 

Something we got in the store

Now and again we get merchadise in the store and me being a designer, well I become obsessed.  And this week that happened.  One of my favorite companies is Funktion.  I love the use of layers, fabrics, they are just creative people and I love their creative products.  And not mention they sell like water.  Here are a few of their products I love...

 

This is a fun apron that I wish I could wear daily as an outfit!

An adorable dish towel this is one of my FAVORITES.  I had to get one for me!

 

A great bag for the pool!!  And even to put laundry in.  Aren't the color combinations so cute!

This is my most favorite of what I HAD to get.  This is the Zoe table cloth and here is the Zoe table cloth on my kitchen table.... SO EXCITED!

 

And another...

 

Hope you like this stuff as much as I do.  And remember orders can always be placed!!

Have a good day!

Ok I am really, for real back.

This past almost 3 months have been absolutely crazy at Rabbit in the Moon!!!  We are not complaining, but when it is busy it is hectic and there isn't much time for anything but the lovely store.  So I am switching gears and going to let you see some of my home.  We have redone a lot of things and I will do my best to provide you with the info.

FIRST:  THE KITCHEN

 

 

 

 

The floor are marble.  The oak cabinets are painted in Tintype by Martha Stewart.  Stainless steel appliances.  Door knockers for pulls.  Vintage furniture, chairs and art.

More to come tomorrow... the Dining Room!

Hope you enjoyed!

I am still blogging......

I am still here!!  I am really busy at the store (that is a good thing) and I have been kind well exhausted.  I will be back with some before and afters of my home!  Have a good day be back tomorrow with some more posts.  I haven't forgotten about ya!
