In fact, a huge half of what I do is related to event styling and from it has evolved a fantastic business venture into vintage and boutique rentals. In partnership with my mother, who is busy collecting of sorts on the East coast, we have been growing an amazing stash of irresistible loot available to brides, party planners and nostalgia seekers alike. So since its been awhile since I shared some amazing pics I thought I would give you a peek at what we have been up to! Here are a few photos from an ultra feminine Bridal Shower I styled this past summer...For the full write up head over to our <a href="http://www.borrowedblu.com/blog/13566275">Borrowed BLU blog</a> and don't forget to wipe your mouth clean after you drool over the rest of the mouth watering photos!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">A few fridays ago I posted on having found these two vintage caned tub chairs...in need of some love I sent them off to the upholsterer while I went on vacation. Thank goodness for the distraction of my trips because whenever I send things out to get refinished I am usually antsy with anticipation awaiting to see the final result and combo of the fabric and finish I chose...And, while I didn't stray too far on changing the color for this one I did decide to take the tufting up a notch and elminate the caning all together. So here are the after shots of my oh so {Green With Glamour} Tub Chairs! What do you think?!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks back a good friend {and half of my trusted photographer duo} asked me to help her out with an after school project with the kids at the PS1 School she works at in Santa Monica. {you might remember I also paired up with them a few months back for an art auction}. Well this time around, a group of her students won a contest and thus won the prize of picking a project they all wanted to do...to my luck they picked pillow making!! So last week, we {Kimber and I} gathered up some leftover {but extremely funky} materials for the kids to get creative with while teaching them a thing or two about cool ways to upcycle and re-use random materials and we gave <i>them</i> a chance to be the designers! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day before we had the kids get a little "jackson pollock" on us by showing them what a little bleach could do to denim, and later that day Kimber and I finished the rest. A splitter splatter here and a splitter splatter there...</div>

To give them a head start and a little inspiration I brought in some of the pillows I had done to show them what was possible..Then Kimber, myself and the 10 kids at PS1 School got to get even more creative and started picking, pinning and sewing up the fabric and trim.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">Sorry for the lack of updating the past week but things got so hectic!! For the past two weeks since I got home from vacation I have been pulling together all the final details for a wedding I was asked to style for two very good friends of ours, Hilary & Gavin. The couple got married up at the <a href="http://heartstoneranch.net/">Heartstone Ranch</a> in Carpenteria just south of Santa Barbara this past weekend and boy did it turn out great! If you might remember those glasses I featured on one of my <a href="http://www.chrysaliscouture.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html">found fridays post</a> {the blue indiana thumbprint glasses}, well, they finally made their debut as well as several other vintage peices I have been collecting!! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">So while I am waiting {with much excitement} for more of the photos to be received by none other than <a href="http://www.leilabrewsterphotography.com/">Leila Brewster</a> {an amazing photographer with a notable dreamy, artistic style} who needs to be credited for all the photos provided in this post, I couldn't help but want to share a few photos of the event that she just sent me early this morning. The location and the weather were perfect and all the hard work and details came together exactly as I anticipated! Enjoy! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hey everyone...so I woke up this morning feeling a bit overwhelmed at all the things I want/have to get done this week and one of them was writing a blog post...it wasn't the actual writing that was getting to me but it was what to write about which was a mystery. So I started like I almost always do. I opened up my laptop and started checking and responding to emails, surfing social media and blog sites, and then I found this post from <a href="http://cocokelley.blogspot.com/2012/05/things-im-afraid-to-tell-you.html">Coco+Kelley</a>.</span></span></div>

Its like going down a rabbit hole to reality that happens to be so refreshing. The post was titled <a href="http://cocokelley.blogspot.com/2012/05/things-im-afraid-to-tell-you.html">"Things I'm Afraid to Tell You"</a>. After reading this post the doors kept opening to other "like" posts from bloggers involved in this now called "movement"...and a movement it truely is! As a newbie in the blog/small business start up world I can't tell you how the words have been taken from my mouth affirming to me that I am diving into a pool of like minded people...more alike than I thought! I can't wait to take the time to keep reading others posts that have joined the "Things I'm Afraid To Tell You" movement..</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">I have been well over due for a little thrift store scouting since I have been out of town the past couple of weeks but lucky me I have had the past 2 days relatively freed up so I could do just that! Normally I have myself on my brain and what I like but just in time for Mothers Day I stumbled upon a partial set of these "Liberty Blue" dishes from Staffordshire China {8 dinner, 8 saucers, 7 b&b, 3 tea cups and 1 bowl}. I was able to bargain with the lady and got them for $40 instead of $55. To be honest, I would have bought them for $55 either way cause the going rate per plate is almost $10..but anyways back to Mothers Day...My mother is hooked on this collection...in fact she has an almost complete set for not just 8 but 80 people. While I might be tempted to keep them for myself, I decided it would be the perfect Mothers Day gift for her. So, I am packing them up all safe and secure and shipping them out...I just hope they get there in time! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">A note on the "Liberty Blue"...According to Robbins Nest website it was designed in and sold in 1976 to commemorate America's 200th anniversary celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was made by Enoch Wedgewood in the Staffordshire district of England in the tradition of the 19th century Staffordshire historical blue china. This china features various scenes all referencing early American historical events. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">This morning I received an email with a few photos from the shoot we did a few weeks ago...what a teaser!! The few I've seen so far have come out so good I am restless just waiting to see the others! While I would like to hold out on you too till I get all the photos I just couldn't resist sharing....Enjoy the sneak peek of part of the table setting I put together! Oh and styling services and vintage rentals are available through me so don't hesitate to <a href="mailto:contact@chrysaliscouture.com">contact me</a>! A special thanks to my friends Kimber and Cassa Romero for helping me organize and photograph the shoot!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">Sorry for skipping out on my posting dutys last week but I happened to be on a very belated honeymoon in Paris...following with a short stop in Rome. It was an amazing trip despite a few bumps here and there (i.e rainy weather and missed flights and have lots of inspiration pics to share! With that you all know I wouldn't travel abroad without trying to find a local flea market to scout out the local good finds! After plenty of research I narrowed it down to heading just north of Paris to Port de Clignancourt, known for the "Les Puces de Saint-Ouen" a.k.a. The Flea Market of Saint-Ouen. We were able to get there via the metro in just 20 minutes time! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">Streets full of antique dealers at every foot seem to be a permanent fixture here unlike the ones i'm familiar with in the states that just pop up and down each week..I was in heaven! Since I had been looking for vintage brass fixtures for my night-stands for some time now these were the first priority item to look for. You should have seen my eyes when I turned around the corner and saw crates full of them!</span></div>

Tons, and tons of it filled each vendor space like nothing I have ever seen! If it weren't for the difficulty and cost to transport such fragile finds I may have had to splurge...most of it late 18th and early 19th century...But seriously, what a feast for my eyes! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;"> </span></div>

Being that they and the name of their business are of French descent, I thought these would be a fitting gift to them. They have been on the lookout themselves for vintage glass vessels to use for their products so why not these?!... </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">As you already know, this past week I was back home in Connecticut helping my mother get ready for her Bi-Annual Garden Art Sale. Since I am contributing some handmade pillow covers to the sale I needed to create the perfect display. Now my mom has lugged this antique bench around for almost 20 years and still hasn't re-furbished it and we thought, what not a better time than now! With my need for a cute display and her wanting to add a custom piece to her upstairs hallway, this bench was the perfect fix for both of us!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">So we went on the hunt for the perfect fabric and trim to coordinate with my pillows but more importantly her decor! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">With us being in a sort of time crunch we narrowed our choices down to this variegated, "vintage looking" fabric wit coordinating avocado piping. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;"> Thank goodness for a warm sunny day! Between my mom and I we were able to get this DIY project done in a day and a half{including drying time}!! Oh how I love having someone working beside me, I get so much done a whole lot quicker than if I were doing it by myself! Oh, and my apologies for the iphone pics...I have much better ones when this bench makes its debut at the sale on May 5th, but until then....</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">You didn't really think I would make the trip back to Connecticut and not go thrifting did you?! It wasn't more than 2 hours after I stepped off the plane after a long redeye flight and no sleep that my mom and I stopped at one of her favorite weekly pitstops. I seriously must have been channeling the need for some good luck with all the new projects we were about to start when we found this ceramic elephant {among a ton of other things}!! We named him Elephanté. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">Here he is bulldozing through the rhododendrons that just bloomed in my mothers front garden. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;">To the Hindu way of thought the elephant is found in the form of a Ganesha who is the god of luck, fortune, protection and is a blessing upon all new projects. With plenty of new projects on the horizon this past week we sure needed all the luck on our side! I can't wait to share some of them in next weeks posts!</span></div>

While I would love to call it a vacation its really not...I've got lots of projects planned with my mamacita in my short visit to get ready for her Bi-Annual Garden Art Sale. With this being the second year in a row and 3rd sale we are excited to showcase more artists work, including some of my own. So I've been working overtime here to get a small collection of pillows together as a contribution! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;"><br />

I snagged these beauties for dirt cheap at only $20 for the pair..Yes I said $20...for both..which is almost unheard of! Being that they are missing a whole lot of caning and have a whole lot of god knows what going on with the existing upholstery these are gonna cost a pretty penny to get back into shape for sure. But, when they're done they are gonna be green with glamour, and I guarentee your gonna be feeling green too, only with envy! With a little more tufting being added and some new velvet fabric in the perfect shade of green I might just have to keep these for my own living room!

With a 5am wake up call to hit the road we are all hustling here to pull together all the final details. Food props {check}, flowers {check}, pillows: just picked them up from my seamstress and they look sooo awesome, so another {check} in that department! Needless to say there are a ton more little details to consider, especially with where we are going to shoot. But since I still can't give away all the deets I would like to leave you with another inspiration pic {funny enough I found this after we planned the whole shin-dig}. With that said, keep tuned in to see all the behind the scenes pics I will be tweeting to you tomorrow!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14px;"><br />

With no luck at the surrounding shops I turned to ebay. I'm actually still undecided whether or not this was a blessing or a curse! Why you ask? Well, as a result I found more of the same glasses but I also kept finding more and more and more.

So what's the final count? Dare I ask myself that question as if there was one...but as of right now I have over 50 glasses with more on the way!

The first thing that popped in to my head was these reclaimed wood DIY headboards that I have been coming across everywhere. Such cool ideas, such hard work put into making all of these and most definitely one of my favorite eco approaches to design. I mean, if you owned one of these wouldn't you want to stay in bed all day too?!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">Here are my top 5: along with the cats and dogs who love them too!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;">This one is over the top, literally!! It is by far one of my all time favorites...An installation like this allows you to hang anything you want on it...wether it be hanging lanterns from the top or planters. It even helps you hide those electrical wires no one wants to see. This type of headboard definitely claims center stage in this bedroom! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Futura; line-height: 14px;"><br />
