New website, Same Blog

 

Howdy folks!  LIVE OAKS will be back pretty soon.  The new site is www.liveoaksinteriors.com/blog. Hope everyone is well!

We couldn't have asked for better weather on Sunday at the Candlestick Antique Fair. Although not as large as the Alameda Antique Fair, or as varied as the new Treasure Island Antique Fair, the selections were fun!  My favorites: 60s groovy outfits, antique mirrors, cool pins and brooches as well as military hats.   

Georgeann Kenoyer Antiques had a really nice selection!  Space H6 at Alameda Point

Lampshade Change

I found a blog tutorial on refreshing a lampshade.  Thought I'd give it a try.

Oakland Flower Mart

I need flowers for an event so instead of going to Whole Foods as usual, I decided to check out the Oakland Flower Mart - the source for many local florists.  It is open to the public but those with reseller permits get the wholesale discount.  

What to do with all this bark?  Hmm, I bet there could be a great craft project in the future with this bark!

Hubby took these pics with some app that made them a little blurred.  The rooms with the flowers were cold!  Brr!

Urban Home Consignment

I was in the area and finally explored Urban Home Consignment.  It is located on the Eastshore Highway in Berkeley.  Good mix of styles.  Hubby was eyeing the bubble chair.  There weren't as many accessories as I'd hoped but lots of good quality furniture and lighting.
