River Market Antique Mall

Nina and I got out this weekend to check out a sale in the northeast. The house was gorgeous from the outside, an old stone beauty down by the Kansas City Museum. Then we took a detour through the River Market Antique Mall. Swoon.

As usual, wonderful styling inspiration and more booths than ever where the dealers really know how to buy and fluff their stuff.







Some fun Halloween displays . . .


And visit Nina on the Metro level for great pieces like this dresser with marble top. She also has wonderful linens and great mid century treasures.

We missed elle of elle Silverworks on this trip. She's getting ready for Holiday Mart coming this weekend. Good luck on your show, sweetie, but we want our shopping buddy back!!!

And my mom found this great table at a sale a couple of weeks ago. It needed some TLC and a color transformation to go into her kitchen hearth space.

Tah, dah! Dark gray top with Metal Affects legs in blackened bronze, all gone over with antiquing glaze, of course. It works great in the space!

This coming weekend calls for more furniture painting projects to get ready for the move into my expanded space on November 1st. Chestnuts n Brown Sugar candles are on their way from Muscatine, Iowa as I type, I can't wait!!!
