| Hi Everyone. Terry and I took a long weekend to Michigan and I visited some of my fave shops. While doing that I was told about another new shop in the area. Had to go check it out right?!! It is called Urban Garage Market in St. Joseph Michigan. |
 |
| It is a fun place with all kinds of different vintage and modern pieces. |
 |
| Since it was just this past weekend they still had a lot of the Christmas sale items. I cannot wait to revisit in the Spring to see what treasures come into this shop. |
 |
| In this picture to the right is a chippy white shutter. It had a mate and both of those came home with me and will be transformed soon and given new purpose. |
 |
| I loved these little air fresheners for your car. They are made by a company called Stay in your lane. Super cute and they smell great. |
 |
| This was a Christmas tree dress form. It is a great shop near a few others I like in this area. If you are in the St. Joseph Michigan area this is a good one to visit. |
 |
| Ok now onto the new treasure found. I found this piece at Warehouse 55 in North Aurora Illinois. Just loved the character and shape of this piece. it is going to get transformed and given a new purpose. |
 |
| Stay tuned to seeing what this sweet piece gets re loved to in my cottage home. It is going to be delivered on Friday and hopefully this weekend Terry will help me transform it into a new and beautiful treasure with purpose. Also stay tuned to see what happens to those chippy white shutters and my white chippy alter piece is being given new life and purpose. Giving new life to pieces for our new cottage home to start out the new year. Hope as we enter into the new year all of you stay healthy and happy. I am looking to new adventures in the year along with some re loves of treasures found. Hope you will come back to visit soon and see all the re loves. Hugs, Kris |

Oh what fun, Kris! I love that French-style cabinet! It looks super sturdy with those wood shelves, and I can't wait to see what you do with it and those shutters.
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you & Terry have already gotten away this January. Have you found your permanent weekend getaway place yet? 😉
You always find the best shops and pieces. The curves and legs in this piece stole the show. I know whatever you do it will be gorgeous. Happy New Years my friend!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cool shop. I love browsing in places to find treasures. You found some fantastic pieces! Can’t wait to see how you transform them and where you will put them. Hugs, Cecilia
ReplyDeleteThat looks an amazing shop Kris! I am looking forward to seeing what you do to these pieces. Wishing you and Terry a very Happy and healthy New Year. Gilly in the UK
ReplyDeleteI love the pieces you found and can’t wait to see how you use them. I wish I had more room to change things up but i do change a lot of decor for the seasons. Margy in KY
ReplyDeleteYippee, starting the New Year with a project. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the tree dress... cute.
Thank you for sharing all the fun Kris.
Love, Carla
Kris, I love the French cabinet and look forward to what you will do to it. The chippy shutters are just your style. Thank you for taking us along as you find these great shops!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to find a new shop! The curio cabinet is awesome... love all the swirls and scrolls. I'm sure it will turn out beautiful. You make remaking look so easy! I wish I could even attempt to paint just one little piece of furniture.. it feels too overwhelming to me to even start! Am anxious to see what you do! I do love shutters.. I found a pink one at a cute shop that I still have and love. Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHow do I not know about this place? My husband has worked in St. Joe for the past 10 years and I thought I knew all the great vintage shopping places! I'll definitely put it on my list! One of my faves in St. Joe is Broad Street Mercantile -- love it:) Have you been there? Can't wait to see what you do with the lovely cabinet. xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Kris. How fun to go shopping with Terry for your new treasures. I can't wait to see what you both do with these. I hope you stay warm and enjoy the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteHow fun Kris, finding a new store is always welcome. That French cabinet is gorgeous, love the styling. I wonder what you and Terry will do to transform it. Wishing you a great year ahead. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun shop to explore. Excited to see those updates for that piece of furniture going into the cottage too! Happy new year
ReplyDeleteYou hit the motherlode, Kris! I can't wait to see what you do with all your new treasures.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun to visit a new shop and to find matching shutters! I look forward to seeing the transformation of the gorgeous cabinet, Kris. I want to transform my coffee table to give my room a new look. Happy New Year Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThese shops are to die for! I noticed you found that armoire / cabinet in Aurora! Not sure if you've ever been to the antique mall in Volo- it's pretty awesome, would highly recommend! Anyway, Im like you, I love to decorate with everything antiqued and chic. My employees joke that I can't buy anything new for my office, secondhand only! They aren't totally wrong, ha!
ReplyDeleteThat curio cabinet is fantastic. I would have swooped that up in a minute, too! What fun to find some new places to visit while you are revisiting shops you already love. I will be anxious to see all the makeovers including the old altar piece.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2025, Kris. Let's pray it's a great one for all of us! xo xo xo Diana
