Interests from Pinterest #1: Trash to Treasure

    What was once considered "Trash" is being made into "Treasure"! Today we picked four pieces that some people might consider old, broken, tarnished or trash. By making some simple changes and thinking outside of the box these pieces are back and better than ever! 


    Inspired by crafty Pinterest photos and innovative ideas, this weeks "Interest from Pinterest" shows you how to reuse and recycle some of that "junk" around the house. After all...

Interesting from Pinterest #1: Trash to Treasure

  1. Large Vintage Chippy Yellow Galvanized Tub: 


         We love this idea!  Taking an old metal galvanized tub and putting it to use.  You can paint it any color you wish to match other furniture or wall colors.  This tub can be used for magazines, toilet paper, kids shoes or even as a cooler at a barbecue.  However you choose to use it, this tub is not for the trash but is a true treasure!

   2.  Window Shutter Mail Holder:

            

           Want to organize all that paper??  We have a solution: take any old window shutter, paint it the color of your choice, hang it on a wall and bam!,  you have yourself a mail, card or letter holder!!

   3.  Roller Skate Wall Decoration:

    

           Have an old pair of roller skates sitting around?  Don't let them sit around any longer!!  Try using them as a all decoration in a play room or kids room!

Let there be light!

The studs are up, the lights are hung, and the sheet board is being installed as we speak!!!  By the end of this week Miss Lucille's will have its first wall!!  Here are some pictures of this exciting news:

These are the studs that will separate Miss Lucille’s from the rest of the warehouse enclosing 37,000sq feet of space for vendors and customers to enjoy.

A few weeks ago we posted a before picture of the lights, which may not look any different than this one; but to us these lights are a huge stride in the right direction! Our handy warehouse men have been hard at work taking down the old lights to hang these beauties and now we can say, “Let there be light!”

Just like that, Miss Lucille's went from an empty space to half a wall and full of light!  We can only imagine what Miss Lucille's will look like when all said and done.  However, we are still about 7 weeks away from that point; so in the meantime stay tuned for more pictures as we continue to take you for a virtual tour! 

On another note, we have sent out the Vendor Preview letters;  if you did not receive the preview invite in the mail...don't fret!  Here is your virtual invitation:

We hope to see you there!!! 

If you would like to have a booth and be apart of Miss Lucille's please e-mail us at info@misslucillesmarketplace.com or call 931.896.1700.

Love is in the air...

Happy Valentine's Day to all of our readers!

Miss Lucille's staff has been working hard in the office getting ready for the spring opening! Our new lights are currently being put up in the store and they are looking great! Soon after the lights, we will begin building out each booth and the front counter. The store will be up in no time and we truly can't wait!

We are also gearing up for our Vendor Preview Day here in the office and can hardly contain our excitement! March 9th and 10th we will be hosting a Vendor Preview Day for all potential vendors. This will be a day for vendors to view the space, meet the staff, and learn the benefits of being apart of this new and exciting adventure. We are looking forward to sending Preview Day invitations this week-if you would like to be included on our mailing list send your contact information and address to info@misslucillesmarketplace.com. We will have you on the list asap!

Along with preparing for our Preview Day, we are also steadily working on our Grand Opening! Our opening day has officially been set for Saturday April 14th 2012 at 10:00am!!
