VISUAL MERCHANDISING

I stopped by ROLLING GREEN   to congratulate 

them for being a visual merchandising  

finalist in NYC's 'Gifts & Decorative Accessories:

2011 Retailer Excellence Awards. 

It is easy to see why they received the

nomination.  I was struck by this fabulous

display in the kitchen/entertaining

area of the store.  They have strung together
over 3000 tea bags.

It creates a very unique backdrop
for a large space that is sometimes
hard to cover.

It made me think of the huge brick
wall my house faces.  I started to
fantasize on what I could do with my wall
and knew this is the place to get some ideas.
I would love the tea bags but not
very practical for an outside space.

 

We use to have a beautiful wall of ivy

but lost that last year during a 

windy rain storm. 

Now we have a clean canvas.

I love all of these old windows
ROLLING GREEN  
 have hung overlapping each other.
 

 

A large window pane mirror is also a great idea

for a large wall. It could be an

interesting effect.

A vintage metal or wood clock
or even several in different sizes.
The older the better.

This could be a on going project,
collecting a variety of sizes and shapes
of bird houses.  I would have
to figure our how to secure them
to my brick wall but with all the
creative people I know that shouldn't
be a problem.

Thank you to ROLLING GREEN for
giving me all of these great ideas to think about.

This is Sophie another good reason
to stop the store.
