studio re-design

dancing goat studio has been going through a re-model over these past few months.  we've expanded our space by some 90 square feet and re-designed the altered book purse design center.  here are some photo's of the finished space, complete with a re-cycled door and shutter wall.

 

 

january 2013 occasional sale is a winter white collection of all of our favorites.  cozy pillows created from thrift store sweaters and wool suit coats take center stage in the studio this month along with white, taupe and espresso painted furniture and accessories.  vintage ice skates, ski's and snow boots make unique seasonal decor.  after a month of too many decorations it feels good to simplify  your surroundings with something repurposed and fresh from the dancing goat studio!!!

 

wishing all a blessed and happy new year!  stay tuned in the coming year for tutorials on everything from making soap to painting furniture.  and thank you for following along with us at the dancing goat studio!!!

jingle all the way

 

santa claus is coming to dancing goat studio! we are shining up the sleigh bells and prepping for a holly jolly christmas season.  the dancing goat has artful giftables under the tree and decorating ideas galore.  for example:

 

-fill a vintage ruffled bowl with shiny brite ornaments for use as a festive tablescape. 

 

-re-purpose utilitarian canning jars with hot chocolate and marshmallows for a quick party hot chocolate bar.  add a couple of clear glass holly coffee mugs and candy cane stir sticks.

 

-add a red accent table or chair to a corner of your home for instant holiday cheer. or invite your guests to cuddle up with a recycled sweater pillow found at the dancing goat.

most importantly remember that the holidays should be infused with tradition.  honor the old and begin some new traditions to make the season all that it is meant to be.

 

 

home for the holidays 2012

 

vintage decorating carries an air of nostalgia that can't be found at a big box store.  mix-up what you already own with quirky retro decor found at the dancing goat studio.  this season find an assortment of  brightly colored "shiny brite" ornaments, strands of vintage christmas lights and fresh cut greens for an old school spin on the season.

 

create an "up-north santa look" with red/black plaid found here in pillows constructed from  american made woolrich wool and repurposed sweaters/flannel shirts.   metal lunch boxes from yester-year make functional table-top accents or work well as unique christmas cookie gift boxes.

 

snow-white reindeer can be found in all corners of dancing goat and make for great season round woodsy accents for your home or porch. add old crates and servicable glass jars filled with ornaments or cookie cutters to add a touch of shabby chic.

 

simplify your holiday season with decorations that carry your home into the long days or january/february. stop into the dancing goat for great decorating ideas and artful giftables.
