SHOPPING! Salvage Style…

I was just in Columbus, Ohio presenting at the Country Living Fair and I can’t help but be inspired by all the talented artisans and shops at the fair and throughout the Columbus area. It’s so fun to see so many people grabbing all the vintage, repurposed and salvage finds at the fair as well as at the amazing Columbus Architectural Salvage Shop (which happened to be do just down the street from my hotel — how lucky am I). Here are a few of the amazing places and things I saw on my trip to Columbus! :)  Big thank you to Crystal, The Country Living Team and Stella Shows! You guys, always make me feel like family.  See you all in Atlanta in October.

One of my favorite vendors at the #CLFAIR is Shawna Robinson’s Happy Chairs! You can’t help but smile when you see these bright and amazingly designed repurposed chairs, couches pillows and artwork. The quality of the products and upholstering is fabulous — one day I’ll have one of these Happy Items in my home! You can also check out Shawna Robinson’s studio online.

The Booth for Stash Style is incredible — I love the mix of country, rock and roll and a touch of glamour — plus their fun t-shirt and hand towels with funny sayings are a must. This rack of FADED flannels is just one clever, beautiful display in the booth. See more of their booth and products on their website- you can even buy online.

Coming Soon! Salvage Secrets Design Website

Questions I get a lot are…Do you do interior design? Styling? Workshops? Presentations? DIY projects? Staging? Answer is yes-to all! I guess my blog doesn’t really show off my services. So with the help of some amazing people -including my twin sister, Rosanne Palmisano, Sarah Jane & Company , Creative Waters and many pictures taken by Susan Teare and other amazing photographers including Jim Westphalen, I’m putting together a very simple website that will list my services, portfolio of work and still have a blog for you to follow.  Salvagesecretsdesign.com, will be the new site, and I’m sure the look you see below will change a few times, but I’m thrilled to let you know it is coming soon (think October).  Can’t wait!  If you need to know more about my services before the site goes live,  just email me at [email protected].  Chat soon! Joanne
