Rejuvenate Downtown Burlington

The Burlington Downtown Corporation held a meeting last night going over the plan that has been proposed for the revitalization of "Downtown Burlington". Of course I am very excited to see the process and hope that others will become motivated and get involved...
There are some great ideas that will make the area more asthetically pleasing as well as ideas that make propositions welcoming for investors. The specifics of the plan are being presented to the Burlington City Council later this week. If you have an opinion, hopefully positive, put it in writing or make an appearance. Please!

Wednesday Paintng Class

Well, the Fox 8 Morning show was a huge success. We had a lot of fun and received a very good response from viewers about the show. I am thrilled that we were able to let the viewers know how easy the process is to think about recyclying and reusing in order to make the piece of furniture your own. We have filled up the Thursday painting class and now we are quickly filling up a Wednesday class as well. Hurry and sign up if you are thinking about it. Or you can wait til April. If there is a date that you can't make it we will certainly make it up. We hope that the class becomes very popular and we will continue to do it every month!!!

WGHP Fox 8

I have been organizing the store all day and gathering pieces to discuss tomorrow morning with Shannon Smith from WGHP Fox 8 Morning News. She will report on reycling, reusing and restoring furniture. Have you ever noticed how many people just toss out something that needs a minor repair and a little creativity. Everyone doesn't have what it takes to create a masterpiece but we all have resources available such as DIY and HGTV and even the local home improvement stores. Then there is the new painting class at Bella's House. We will show you how to give it a personal touch! Off to bed early. The camera crew arrives at 5:30 AM!!!

Islamorada

I just got back from a long weekend with the girls in Islamorada. Instead of moving furniture we went fishing! Deep Sea that is!!! Also squeezed in a little time for the HGTV Dream home. I couldn't believe how beautiful it truly was. The view was incredible and the furnishings were to die for. Photos attached!!!

New Stuff

We've been busy painting furniture and getting new things out this week. I havent' had a chance to get the photos on the web but a few pieces have already sold! We are all busy being very creative. We had a practice run at our paint class on Monday. Just wanted to make sure the timing would work and that we had all the supplies we would need. All is well!!! Ready to go on March 6th and signing people up already for the next session in April.
Some of the items that we ordered in Atlanta have come in. Good looking fireplace screens and some cute wastebaskets. I need to order more of the fun, beaded fan pulls - we have sold out!
I had a very interesting phone call earlier from a reporter that my husband and I met at the last meeting for the Downtown Renovation Project. He is writing an article that will hopefully stir some interest for more business downtown. Watch and see if I get quoted!
