Fantastical Vintage Rooms
* A Special Guest Post ~ Vintage Fantastical
Thank you so much Mari for putting together such a lovely post on vintage rooms!

Peace & Love

Hi, all! It's Mari here from Arcadian Home blog, a wonderful place to find beautiful and interesting home decor inspirations. I'm so happy to be visiting here with you at Junebug Furniture & Design. Today's guest post was inspired by The Mad Hatter Flea Market name. Those words immediately conjured up visions of fantastical vintage rooms of every sort from dark moody industrial spaces to soaring glass conservatories and everything in between.
I've brought along eight very diverse rooms for your vintage inspiration. To me, each is magical with its very own unique and special look. Please enjoy!
This Madrid loft is the first of our fantastical vintage spaces. It's filled with light, pale color and a mix of traditional antiques, Mid-Century pieces and aged leather. I love the glass-paned dividing wall.
What a magical vintage setting this is. Industrial architecture acts as a blank canvas for the homeowner's collection of artwork, decorative pieces and furnishings.
Glorious light fills the fantastical vintage space that is artist Claire Basler's studio! In an intriguing play of light, it's difficult to discern whether the background is a piece of her wall art or live plants set against a neutral background.
Metals, woods and chalkboard wall merge beautifully into an updated vintage industrial space turned kitchen.
A fantasy vintage getaway in the treetops is a lovely mix of flowing floor to ceiling curtains, rosy-hued antique rug and delicate wrought iron chandelier.
This glass conservatory is filled with vintage furnitures and decorative objects. I love the quirky palm trees and soaring glass ceiling.
This breeze-filled bedroom is at once ethereal with gauzy curtains and grounded in the masculine look of leather trunks—a fantastical vintage look.
We leave you with a vine-covered outdoor kitchen that would have been common in grandmother's time, but today it's a fantastical vintage dream come true for only a fortunate few. Think of hours and hours of flea market fun it would take to seek out well-loved treasures to fill the shelves in this magical summer kitchen. Images 1

For the Love of Creating
This last October Dena Abdallah editor of Spokane Area Metro Women Magazine contacted us and asked us to write a story for her magazine. We had just finished designing Sweet frostings. Blissful Bakeshop, so as it was fresh in our mind we sat down and wrote a story about this sweet shope. We would like to share our story with you and some of our most recent photos from Sweet frostings.
For the Love of Creating
When I think of creating, I think of my greatest creations...my children. Of course, God is The Great Creator, but it was no accident that He chose woman to be the bearer of new life!
From the moment of conception, the idea, the baby, our body and our mind becomes one with the process. We begin to create. We imagine it as a boy or a girl, what color hair, eyes, personality, and what he or she will look like, and how we will dress her or him. We even continue the creative process as we sleep in our dreams. We begin to create the child long before he or she is born.
We choose the name, the most uncommon name or perhaps we create an original of our own. We then begin to gather the things we will surround our child with. We create the nest, the baby's room. We surround ourselves with the best, also at this time, we listen to music, we read, we exercise and eat healthy. We go to great detail to prepare a place for him or her in our home. God made woman like this. An eye for detail, a tenacious and determined spirit is what he needed and it is why we continue to create in all areas of our life.
It is this process that I use with each project, or each piece of furniture I find. It is as though I have another child in a sence....I dream of what it could be with the right amount of love and devotion. I lovingly and willingly sacrifice my time and energy into the creation of it until it too has new life. Upon completion of each project, I feel joy that I have taken something that had stopped being loved and appreciated long ago and have given birth to a new purpose for it.
Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to create for the newest cupcake venue in our town....Sweet frostings. Blissful Bakeshope located at 15 S. Washington in downtown Spokane, Washington. When the owner (Judy Rozier) asked me to design this abandoned space, my thoughts immediately went to pastel, pastel, and more pastel. To create a bakery decor and dessert display that would surprise and delight all....ladies, men, and children, a sweet oasis away from the hectic pace of "to do lists."
My vision, a glow of childhood nostalgia, with beautiful floral wallpaper in an array of muted hues of blue, pinks, corals, and fun lime greens, complimented by crisp whites, and vintage furniture painted the color of cupcakes. My daughter (Celia) and I carefully selected the colors for the walls, ceiling, wall covering and each piece of furniture. We painted the ceiling a soothing tiffany blue that opened up the room. The color added visual interest to an otherwise boring ceiling. Painting the ceiling a beautiful color brought the ceiling into the overall design scheme, the ceiling became a beautiful focal point, and created magic!
A vintage tiffany blue and white stripe umbrella was placed in the front window to welcome guests, vintage furniture that we searched out added character and personality to the space, we had so much fun dressing up this little bakery. We skirted the chair cushions on the mix and match vintage chairs to look like little girls dresses. We created an oversized menu chalkboard, complete with a scalloped border. Colorful banners were hung in the windows, and we used vintage silver serving pieces on the coffee bar to hold straws, napkins, tea, sugar, and creamer....this is what my daughter and I refer to as vintage sensibility! Gorgeous cake plates were placed to hold the many varieties of cupcakes, beautiful apothecary jars were filled with cookies and penny candy. Paper flowers were hung from the unbrella, chandelier, and ceiling, all to create a sweet shop that is cozy without being cluttered; and most importantly is visually charming and comfortable...full of fun, function, and color!
This must be what our creator feels each time he blesses us with something of beauty, the anticipation for our reaction is such a joyful feeling. I watch with pride when my clients look longingly at a creation and I say to myself..."That's my girl!" But it doesn't stop there, now my thoughts go to how I am going to decorate it for Christmas this year, wouldn't it be great, if we could bring back the "Christmas Windows" of our childhood memories, and this little cupcake store would be where it all starts.
Please put this little bakery on your list of MUST SEE and of course, MUST EATS!!!!!
Much thanks and gratitude to Cary Burnett for taking such lovely photos for us ~

The Mayonnaise Jar and Two Pints of Beer...
My dear sweet Sis Jan, sent me an email several weeks ago, I saved it and reread it from time to time, each time I read it... I love it's gentle reminder.....putting my life in perspective as to what is really important in life....reminding me not to spend all my time on the small stuff....I'm sure you all have been there too....hope you will love it too!
The Mayonnaise Jar and Two Pints of Beer...
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the two pints of beer.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly, and the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed again that it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the rest of the space. He asked once more if the jar was full, and his students responded with a unanimous “yes.”
The professor then produced two pint glasses of beer from under the table and poured the contents of both into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the grains of sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, children, health, friends and your favourite passions; things that, if everything else was lost and only they remained, would still make your life full.”
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else - the small stuff.
“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “There is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.”
“Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children, take time to get medical checkups, take your partner out to dinner and play another 18 holes. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the leaky tap. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities, because the rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem to be, that there’s always room for a couple of beers with a friend.”
