Styling and Resetting the Pop-Up Shop

Did you know that I spend 15+ hours resetting and styling the pop-up shop between each opening? I try hard to make each shopping experience unique and inspiring. I love doing it, even if does typically take me longer than I anticipate. I have a busy week coming up so I have been trying to get a jump start on restyling the space for the upcoming "Cottage and Cabin" shop, June 13th and 14th. 

I typically don't have a real plan and don't like to reset the shop until I have most of the new furniture moved in. I move and rearrange and take pictures to see what is and isn't working. This time I started with the cabin decor in the middle of the shop. I pulled in a wood and corrugated tin divider to add height, to have a place to hang art, and to define the middle space. This sofa table that I built from reclaimed barnwood is a new addition. 

Stacking and layering items helps to give customers not only decorating ideas, but also allows them to better see items for sale.

The back side of the divider is styled like a cozy cabin sitting nook. 

Yesterday I sourced both a vintage cabin art piece and a cottage painting (I still need to frame it). This cabin piece is an ink and watercolor and was framed locally at a shop that went out of business 25+ years ago. 

This reclaimed wood table has such a fantastic stand and feet. It was definitely handmade and would be great in any cabin or rustic home.

No one ever said loving what you do and doing what you love would be easy, but sure makes "work" more enjoyable!
