While walking through the Village of Seville's annual yard sales today, my mom and I decided to pop into the
Funky Junk Boutique. They have just recently (about 4 weeks ago) moved to a different and much larger location just across the street from their old location on Main Street. Their new location used to be a gas station, but they have spruced the place up beyond imagination. I didn't want to leave the store. Everything was so beautiful, I couldn't stop staring. I am obsessed with anything vintage or antiquey, and I love to re-purpose old things (or as the girls at Funky Junk call it,
upcycling). This place is drippy in shabby chic, and I seriously LOVED it. I'll definitely be going back. There are so many different things for sale: upcycled/vintage furniture, pillows, clothing, jewelry, candles, and lots of other random locally made items and vintage/antiquey things. I wanted to buy everything! I was surprised at their prices (in a good way). I find that usually places that upcycle old furniture and such end up charging you an arm and a leg for the finished product. I didn't find their prices to be too bad, honestly. If you're into shabby chic, and finding the beauty in old things, I definitely recommend making a trip to this delightful little gem. They're located on Main St in Seville, across the street from the Seville Sweet Shoppe.
(I apologize for the poor quality of photos, I was only armed with my iPhone.)
They carry a full selection of
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (amazing - check it out if you haven't), and have a huge color chart for mixing things up to create your own special colors. My mom and I wanted a pale minty blue for this hideous yellow dresser we want to paint (I will be making a blog post about the transformation this summer), so we opted for
Duck Egg Blue. We thought about mixing
Provence with Cream, but decided maybe we could just mix
Duck Egg Blue with the white (I think it was
Pure) we already have to make it a little more pale.
