Bedroom/ jewelry work room coming together

My boyfriend and I have a goal of finishing my work room/ guest room by the end of the month. Boy it has been a chore! Our house is very old and nothing is square. Not to mention the fact that Damon (my boyfriend) now has to work weekends to get an electrical job done on time. 

Today we cleaned the floor and started laying the laminate that we also used in the rest of the house. As you can see the shelves are in too. Last to do is some touch ups and trim work. We will have to figure out some kind of door situation as well. A standard door doesn't fit in this small house. 

A lot of time today was wasted fiddling with an acient air conditioner that was ready for fall out of the wall. Not a great option when it is still 5 degrees out. Anyways now that heavy sucker won't fall and kill anyone and the room is almost done! Woohoo!!

The wood paneling will stay for now. The air conditioner as well. Eventually we might replace the wall, and remove the air conditioner. Now though our first goal is to replace those original windows. No one likes to see to the outside like that. Haha 

Anyways I hope we continue to make progress and soon that room will be helping me create jewelry for you!

My New jewelry line

Sorry I haven't been writing so often as I had. It has been quite busy here. We are trying to finish our upstairs bedroom by the end of the month and it is often slow going. We come across a lot of kinks to iron out along the way. More on that later when o can reveal more. For now I'll share the jewelry I've been working on. 

If you are new to my blog you may not know that I make my own jewelry designed and hand assembled by me. I love and am greatly inspired by vintage items and love the shabby cottage chic style. I love to colonize with paints and distress them to make them look old. 

I have started a new line in my etsy shop that includes some lovely distressed pastel maple leaf earrings that are perfect for spring and summer. 

Some examples can be seen above. I used hand made ceramic and claw flowers to adorn the hand painted American made brass charms. I even have some necklaces that are made from spoons that I bent to make pendants. 

I am particularly proud of my progress lately to develop a line and style unique to me. It has been a long road and it has taken me a few years to get this far. 

I have even tried branching out of my comfort zone and tried to make a shabby bat necklace with a slight gothic twist. 

I also made a large statement necklace that can be paired with my shabby style necklaces. It features a large brass bib focal that I hand painted beautiful pearlized pastel colors.

All my jewelry is either made by me in Vermont or are vintage finds.
