Looking for the Perfect Table

I have always wanted a farmhouse table.
I have seen many over the years 
but they have all been expensive and if I did find one
that was more reasonable I did not like it as well 
as the more expensive ones.

I am now on the hunt! 
I may even be making one, Ha! that makes me 
Laugh saying it out loud....
This one is really cute but I want chunkier legs and
more of an overhang at the ends,
Oh these legs are Fabulous.
But again need more of an overhang.
I love this one because I will be using the table outside
and this one looks rustic.

These two would be great because of the metal legs.
Oh now I think I must have metal legs! 


Uh Oh and now maybe I need a zinc top!???

Does this happen to you when you are looking for 
just the perfect "thing"?
Well it is fun looking and now with Google images 
the selection can be mind boggling. 
I know I will find or be able to create just the perfect piece for 
the patio..........I just don't know when.
But I know I will have fun looking.




This last picture is not exactly what I want but 
it is the exact feeling I want.
Don't you just want to sit and have some 
yummy food with family and friends at this table?
I know I do..........

Truly Tattered, Behind The Curtain

I do lot's of things at the shop.
I price, Fix, and Create things
 that go out onto the floor.

When I first opened 
I thought of turning the back
into more retail space but we are sure glad I didn't!
There are many things that go on behind this curtain and some 
of it is not pretty!
But today for where Bloggers Create I got
it all pretty for you!

When I opened I decided to make this area 
look as cute as the rest of the shop since it is what you 
look at when you enter the front door and when
you are at my counter. 
I can also close the curtains when I have a huge 
mess I don't want to share!
Here are some of the images of my desks/work area's
Enjoy!



 You can see in some of my office decor things I create. 
These flowers are made to order and I have done many for 
Weddings. They also work well in living rooms, bedrooms, really anywhere that needs a little fun!
I got some crepe paper at an estate sale and 
I am having fun with that too!



  Hope this was fun for you.....
there is lots more to see at 
 so Party On........

Room Service!



I offer design Services at Truly Tattered.
This is Tammy's
Home that I did about a month ago.


I love taking what the client has and mixing it up,
adding, and even taking away
to achieve a brand new look.


Tammy got a new sofa and wanted to mix
it in with all the wonderful things she allready had in the room
and add in some things from the garage.
She often has large groups over so there needed to be
enough places for everyone to sit.

She is really open to trying different ideas so we put a
map backround in her bookcase and
added our signature flowers to the wall behind the sofa.
I think it really came out great and she reports that
she is happy with the outcome!

cool water...........

I love water and here is to hoping that
if you are in a hot area you are spending your time in
WATER!
