yesterday my mom and i added some new items
to our space at Stars and as i was trying to
summon the inspiration goddess i struggled
with conjuring her up.
i got everything placed stepped back
to look at the space and realized
it wasn't the fault of my inspiration goddess
but we were all over the style board with our offerings.
if any of you know me this drives me crazy!
i don't know if it's an a.d.h.d. thing or what
but if things don't fit together just right
i go a little bonkers and will actually loose sleep over it.
so, here is the dilemma....
i have all these beautiful items for sale...
i need to sell them...
yet, they don't all work together.
do i just live with it until things sell
and meanwhile get in touch with my true passions
and shop for just those styles?
i look around and so many amazing dealers
have a look, they have tapped into something
that works.
what is mine?
i know what i like and what gets my juices flowing
yet they don't always live together in a store space
that is 9x10 well....if you know what i am saying.
i think it might be time to start an inspiration board
for our little shop in shop and remember to stick
to those styles.
maybe this way i can get some sleep and feel
the guidance of my inspiration goddess more naturally.
here's what gets my juices flowing....
industrial....
bohemian chic....
feminine modern hollywood.....
primitive farmhouse....
wood....
metal....
rusty....
velvet.....
dark moody colors....
pink....
ok, see my problem?
how do i pair this down to make it work?
help?
beleaguered and dazed

Hello Francisca, it I Jary from Jarden Designs. I am so glad you are in Stars with the rest of us. You are a very talented person. I am in the Spendid side of Stars, where are you? I try to keep a basic amout of stock on back and side fixtures and feature an Idea on front center tables. I try to rotate the look every other month. Pick a theme like Easter, Garden, Seaside and mix basic items with new "seasonal" pieces. You can also pick color or texture themes to. Best of luck, I can't wait to visit and shop your space.
I am also getting a few select vendors together to do a monthly Frenchy Flea Market in the Hollywood area of Portland. I have a GREAT outdoor space and excited to share this with all!!! Please keep in touch, Jary of JARDEN DESIGNS.

Hi Francisca,
I have always had the theory that if you put together things that you like...they will go together. That is how I decorate. My taste is very eclectic and my space at Rusty Glamour shows that. I agree with Jary, too, that a theme can give you a "look" even if it's temporary. Knowing your taste I cannot imagine that your space looks anything but great!!
I too...am struggling with how I have become so "out there" and all over the place...
I have spent more time this week thinking(and figuring out) what I want to do, look for, and how I want my business to develop than I have cleaning and sorting...so..I have figured it out...now I have to work on getting rid of the stuff that I don't want to clutter my space...and putting in what I do want to do...
so...
good luck with your dilemma...
I say...go with what makes your heart happy...
