It's not quite over...



I have always been a little (a lot) impatient, so transitioning between seasons is a slightly difficult time for me. All the new styles of the upcoming season look so bright and shiny and new, I just can't wait to try them all out! So, I have been working to remind myself to savor what I have. The last remaining weeks (or months, depending on where you live) of warm weather means enjoying dresses without tights, wearing all those beautiful sandals you've purchased, and enjoying a beer while grilling out with friends and family.  In honor of the fact that summer is not quite over, here is a selection of wonderful items that will surely help you enjoy this transition :)

Here at gracie b. we tend to enjoy the simpler things in life and take great pride in finding beauty in items that would have otherwise been headed for a trash heap.  Over the last several weekends I've spent a significant amount of time getting my office reorganized and decorated to properly reflect the gracie b. aesthetic. 


My first project was this chair, a $15 find at a local thrift store that now serves as a beautiful place to sit.  I truly wish I had a picture of the way it originally looked to show how worn down this chair was. The frame was a nicked and scratched oak color, with a dingy blue seat cushion.  It did take a little sweat and perseverance, but after some sanding and primer, several spray cans of white lacquer and a trip to JoAnn's to find this beautiful blue and green lattice fabric, suddenly an unloved chair becomes a beautiful piece of furniture!


At some point I would LOVE to incorporate a home decor section into the shop... but I have to remind myself that Rome was not built in a day :) For now, here are a few wonderfully revived items currently in the shop! Happy Shopping!
