CHA Winter 2012 Booth Decorations: 7 Gypsies

I love visiting the 7 Gypsies' booth at CHA. So many wonderful home decor ideas. I wish I had enough wall space for some of this.



I really like this one. Fortunately I have an old yardstick that once belonged to my grandmother. Hmm...putting on my thinking cap to see what I can come up with. Maybe paper covered chipboard with large eyelets and then have a bunch of photos on it. What do you think? It would go in my hallway:


I think I'm going to have to do something similar and place it on top of my piano:


Ooh! I know the perfect spot for something like this. On the wall by the side door of the house. Of course, it would have an old world tropical flare to it: 

There's an area above our front that I want to decorate. All I need is the library card box and scraps of paper from personal stash to make it work:


Ok, I suppose, in the same area above the front door, I can have an illusion like this. I was planning on hitting the flea markets this weekend anyway:


I would put something like this in my living room on the built-in shelf area and fill it with photos of some our favorite places we have visited.


Something else to place in the hallway and staircase area:



The next time I have a party I might do this with scrap paper from personal stash. Or maybe, if it looks nice, I can create something this with rows of beads in between leading to the dining room. Gonna think on that one:


LOL! Not sure I would do it. Definitely front door material:


Maybe in the kitchen by that same side door. Tropical, of course. The Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue paper. Hmmm....:

I wonder how something like this would look in the staircase area. I might have to "Tim it up" though:

A funny thing happened on the way to CHA...

I just HAD to stop at the Graphic 45 booth, now did? Ok, here's a story for ya'. I've been on a decorating spree lately for my house. So off I went to my local HL store to see what they had. One thing I really appreciate about HL is the wide variety of home decor.

So, there I am, admiring this big, beautiful clock with crackled paint all over it. It's quite heavy. And I know there's no way it's going up on the wall in my staircase until I hire a handyman for the job; neither DH, nor I, have the guts to climb a ladder to hang that thing.

That was a couple of weeks ago. And yes, the clock is operational with a AA battery (ok, maybe 3 of them, I forgot).

Fast forward to CHA and the G45 booth. Guess what's there on display. Only they must have been reading my mind because they one-upped me by putting paper on the clock:



Now how awesome is that?
