More New Zoey's Uber-Chic pieces...going to the shop.

I have some more vintage repurposed pieces that I will have at my Zoey's Uber-Chic Loft shop.....  love the way these all turned out using vintage french graphics.  I repurposed a vintage tin bread/pie safe & tin canisters....now a super french chic set for a kitchen or Bath...I repainted & distressed a darling vintage wood 2-tier table and then put an antique "french inspired" organ knob as the drawer pull...something unexpected and totally one-of-a-kind.

 

 I also repurposed a vintage ugly wood magazine stand into a chic piece.... I repurpsed an ugly tole painted vintage metal lamp into a chic Paris table lamp and another vintage suitcase makeover....love.....

a vintage enamelware pot with french graphics...great for more storage or a home for a plant.... and then this AWESOME BIG heavy antique cherub lamp I found that was pretty ugly and nobody wanted it....I saw it and knew I had to have it and give it new life.  Now an uber-chic yummy chippy shabby french paris looking piece  ...and the best part is it still WORKS.... now I have to find just the right bulbs to complete her look....

 

If anybody is in the area....stop in and check out the space.

A ZOEY'S Uber-chic....before & after piece...

I was working on some new pieces for my Zoey's Uber-Chic shop over the weekend and thought I would share a piece I did with a regular new oversized wall clock.  The before clock was ok but I think lacked character...... It is made of wood and metal so it is perfect materials to work on.     I repainted, renumbered  and distressed the clock.... and now a gorgeous very distressed Industrial Chic style wall clock..... I will be bringing this and other pieces this week to the shop for anybody who is within distance....

A gorgeous vintage trunk that I restyled..... a french advertisement added to the front...this piece I just finished and taking to the shop this weekend.....I tried new techniques on painting this piece.....no stencils used here....

A really neat foot stool or storage seating made from a vintage galvanized drum/can and a vintage Canners Salt Mineral grainsack bag..very industrial chic !

 

I also make messenger style bags/purses/laptop bags, etc.....from antique & vintage textiles..mostly WWII military canvas items....

Canvas Messenger Bags I made from antique & vintage military duffel bags and mail bags...various vintage straps hand dyed too...... LOVE THESE  .....  big enough for a laptop....I lined them and stenciled the fabric inside.

More Zoey's UBER-Chic Loft pieces ........

 Thought I would share some samples of a few new (repurposed) pieces we have finished up and ready to bring to the new shop this weekend.  I'm in love with these new pieces too.  Seems everytime I make something new I just want to keep it ;)

Our newest piece (above) is what I am calling my repurposed French Industrial Foyer Message Center/Catch-all.  I wish I took a before picture of this very bland brown antique 3-mirror vanity.  I repainted in a wonderful old white and distressed it.  Painted the top surface old black and then we did chalkboard paint on the 2 side mirrors...and I had found an old black chair that I thought would match up really nice with this piece...and it does!  I distressed it the same as the vanity and kept the original black leather seat.  I LOVE this piece.....I think if my girls saw this they would want to trade it for the ones I already did for them ;)   

I repurposed a vintage lamp (rewired it too...yeah, I'm getting pretty good at that...hubby is an electrician and taught me what to do....he still rewires the hard ones though..LOL) ---- did a makeover on an old shade and now a great  French Industrial Light....

Here again, I did another one.....looks fab on the vanity piece..... oh and I'm doing pillows too.....

WOW....I LOVE this piece.....we found an old vintage trumpet that was kinda beat up but surprisingly still worked.  But not enough for somebody to still play.....soooooooo I had a grand idea of having hubby turn this into a light......  what a fab job he did......a really cool one-of-a-kind light.....

Here is a pictures of pieces stacking up in my studio waiting to go to the shop.....

Another makeover project...... it was a really nice barrel style solid PINK vintage hamper made of metal and wicker weaving  ..... I did a little of my distressing and repurposed it into a French Inspired Storage Seat or it could still be used as a hamper too ;) ....daughter saw this and really wanted it too....

Tried my hand at a little upholstery project..... wish I would have took a before of this bad boy..... it was a very ugly red/blue/brown check patterned ottoman on wheels with ruffled fabric at the bottom so you could not see the legs.  I knew I could do something with it.....so I took one of my vintage mineral fabric bags with really cool printed typography graphics and some original mending sections in it and created a cover. Then to make it look industrial I had to paint the wood part and then added handdyed vintage rivet type trim around the bottom edge.....WOW you really gotta see this it turned out fab.....

 

Another really cool piece.... I was told it was an antique smoking table.  I moved the things that were attached at the top so now you can put your coins in it (probably can't see that round wood thing screwed to the top) added a 1963 Vintage Texas licenses plate to the front and kept the original black & tan chipped paint patina....very cool piece to put next to the door and drop your mail, keys & coins when you get in...or a really neat accent table............

Another accent side table with a metal base.  This started as a plain black trunk, I added the vintage leather horse reins for straps and then found a metal base from another ugly table and put it on this.....a great place to put magazines & newpapers.......

And last but not least.... this started as a leather suitcase with lots of character.....hubby put these found vintage mid-century danish legs on it to create a really unique one-of-a-kind coffee table for end table.....

 

Thanks for looking at some more of my work.......these are all for sale and will be in my shop located INSIDE a co-op antique shop called Liberty Hollow located at 4975 W. Ridge Rd (rt 104), Spencerport, NY  .... which is in ROCHESTER NEW YORK.

NEWS UPDATE - We opened a NEW SHOP

Well I have been crazy busy..... expanding & growing the business.

As you know I posted earlier that not only do I make soft sculpture art pieces me & my husband also do repurposing and dabble in all things antiques & vintage.

I have been wanting a place to setup shop and sell my items and we finally did it! 

 

 It took months of researching but we finally got a space in an antique mall co-op shop and got it all set up the other day....which is about an 1 1/2 hour drive from me...unfortunately there was absolutely nothing here in my local city that was comparable....too much "flea" if you know what I mean ;)

 

Anyway, I will eventually introduce my bears, dawgs & other soft sculpture there as well but wanted to get my other pieces out of my studio....all of this has been sitting in my studio and was to the point of not being able to move anymore.........gosh I finally have some space again!

 

The first thing I told my husband was that we need to make a HARWOOD FLOOR for my space.  I was not liking the ugly carpet and it was just so drab looking...I was going for the unique looking "industrial chic style" (modern) looking space.  So he made me a 'floor" from 2 pieces of heavyduty plywood and we stained it ebony....Love how it turned out and it was low cost for the "pop" factor I was looking for. 

 

And I am calling my new business space.....

ZOEY's UBER-CHIC LOFT
