Well, it’s off to market we go. We are excited about all the great products we will find and be able to share with you in the months ahead.

I haven’t yet shared with you one of my favorite finds from our January trip to market. It’s been hanging in our new shop, but perhaps you haven’t noticed it because it is right above your head as you enter and exit. This large wood and iron architectural piece would fill that large expanse of wall that you just don’t know what to do with. Or, you could do as I have done here and make it your new headboard.

I knew in order to update the bedroom, a change of headboard was required. The previous headboard was a much shorter height, and the pillows on the bed basically hid it.  After a DIY solution failed, I wasn’t exactly sure what direction I was going until we came across this piece on our last market visit. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had the perfect spot for it in my bedroom.

Of course, I had to make pillows to coordinate all the bedding. This happens to be part of my fall/winter look. There are plans for a spring/summer look, but that probably won’t be completed until during Christmas break (the Cobbler’s kids don’t have shoes scenario). Stay tuned for another post on that someday. And while you are staying tuned, know that we are scouring the markets to bring home some wonderful finds like this one. We can’t wait to share all of them with you.
