Girls' Day

Recently, The Cottage Junk Co. took their show on the road - all the way to Fort Worth! Cheryl had planned the ultimate Girls' Day, including lunch at Joe T. Garcia's fantastic courtyard (see picture above).
Believe us, it was a working lunch: After spending the morning junking and gathering, our wheels were turning like crazy! Topics of discussion included a gorgeous blue-and-bronze fabric we had just laid hands on, some good junk that followed us home from Canton (including our first-ever bed-to-bench conversion, made possible by our carpenter Hunky Steve), and what find was awaiting us around the next corner.
Well, we never did find that fourth chair to round out a mismatched set that will be featured in our booth for the June market, so we did what junkers do: we found another solution. In this case, the solution was sitting in Rikki's living room!
One of the perks of junking for a living is that it has a tendency to spill over into your home and your life. We know, when we have the knee-jerk reaction "I want this in my house!" that we're on to something good. Right now, Cheryl is babysitting a Bergere chair we just treated to a new finish and upholstery job, and Rikki is coveting a blanket box with a beautiful worn white / heavily distressed finish. Both pieces will be in our booth, so go ahead, break our hearts - take them home!
Another perk is getting to have Girls' Day once in a while! It is necessary in order for us to keep bringing you the good junk and unique furniture that is The Cottage Junk Co. signature style. We scour out-of-the-way places and secret spaces to bring together a unique look for your enjoyment and inspiration.
So if it brings us the same enjoyment and inspiration, that's a good thing, right? And if you spot us at the Cheesecake Factory, giggling over coffee and two shared slices of cheesecake, it's safe to assume we're hard at work, bringing you more good junk and inspiration.

Happy junking!

Cheryl & Rikki
