My sister Jane is fabulous at transformation.

One of the reasons she really wanted to have this store was to save the “Cinderella” bits – as she calls them – and to make them beautiful again.

A great example is the pair of twig tables we bought for the store.

They were in great shape but dirty and had very worn fabric-covered tops.

The tables were first cleaned and then Jane chiseled off (really !) the worn fabric.

She chose a lovely vintage barkcloth piece to complement the wood, added some vintage trim and…. voila!

We have two of these and we paired them with fabulous chalk-ware lamps.

What a difference.

Cinderella can dance again!
