The Dowdy Studio Wagon: Part IV

We're getting closer! After installing the bench, cash wrap and a tee rack, we decided we should probably clean this Wagon up a little before making more displays. Sweeping isn't really the most fun part of the renovation, but it must be done. Hey, at least I'm good at it! Especially when it's only 72 square feet of space.

We are madly in love with the faux wood floors against the gray and white painted walls. The the springy green wall in the back adds for some extreme pop!

We hung some tees on the tee rack just to see how they looked with the new furniture displays. We looooove it, and think they look stunning in their new home.

Dylan installed lighting around the ceiling for when we're out in the evenings. It's so bright in there. We closed all the doors just to see if you could still see in darkness and VAVOOM yes! Score!

Our hearts are racing with excitement, and we can't wait to show you more of our adventures of building this baby!

We also hope you can join us March 12th at the Gypsy Wagon in Dallas for their first Handmade Market of 2011 happening once a month through May. This will be our GRAND OPENING!!!!! Hooray!!! Stay tuned to hear about more of our upcoming events.

Happy trails!
-Pamela + Dylan

The Dowdy Studio Wagon: Part III

Our Mission: Insert a low shelf - That's what we did!

When it came to designing the inside of the Wagon, we were torn on whether we should find some cool old beat up furniture and refinish it to put in there, or if we should just start from scratch and build everything ourselves. Either way we knew we would be getting our hands dirty and being super DIY.

Earlier this winter Dylan and his pops worked on a set design for a small film, and we were rewarded with tons of left over wood and supplies after the shoot. So what better way to use them than to build our own displays for the Wagon! This way we would build and design exactly what we were looking for and not have to rely on finding the perfect vintage piece.

Lulu took a break from building the display furniture. She doesn't do that kinda stuff, and it's not good for her fur or something like that, so this kitty sunbathed instead.

The Low shelf was built, and placed in the Wagon. Perfect. Just one more thing to do....paint it.

Ohhh la la...white!

Once it was painted, we secured it to the wagon. We decided the best spot for it was on the window side, since we build an installed a hanging tee rack on the other wall. Dylan also built a small bar height cash wrap on the back wall.

Dylan putting the finishing touches on the cash wrap.

And we have been enjoying random paint on our faces.
