Tom Bishop Show Purchases






Please click on the photos to enlarge them.

These are a few of the things I bought at the Tom Bishop Show in Chicago. I am thinking about replacing the two armless chairs to match the ones with arms. It didn't matter to me at the time I bought them because they had already sold the matching ones. I really loved the chairs and wanted them for my kitchen. The wood is beautiful. I am not sure you can see that fact in the photos. I am either going to make or buy a farm table to go with them.

The lamp and sconce (by Scott Hughes) I also plan to put in the kitchen with the chandelier I made (seen in a pervious post). I think they will go very well with it.

The spice chest drawers all open and are made of the same wood as are the shelves and chairs. I also bought the coat rack with shelf from them. The table I am sure you recognize. I just bought it for photo shoots. I have no idea if I will ever use it in my dollhouse. I rather doubt it.

There is more but it will have to wait. We are having a gorgeous cool day and I have to get back to planting my garden. I bought six flats of flowers and I have lots of seeds to plant.

All the furniture is from... http://smallerthanlife.com/

Happy Mothers Day Everyone! XXX

  6. Susanne,

    I am sorry to tell you, Scott Huges does not have a website or a catalog.
    For my own sake It may be a good thing he hasn't. I LOVE his fixtures. So there is another good reason to go back to the show next year. :-)
    I have one more of his lamps I will post it in a few days. It is lovely!!!

  9. Dear Catherine. Your purchases are beautiful, no frills ("fronzoli" in italian). Very very beautiful lamps, will stand well in your kitchen.
    I'm really curious to see the work started, I really like the taste in things you use.
    A hug (at this time you've finished gardening, while I put my baby to bed and dined my husband, on this side of the world)

  19. Catherine, no wonder I hardly saw you at the show! You were too busy buying some wonderful things, and with your excellent taste!

    You're planting? I thought you said you kill everything you plant. I expect pics of your garden before you kill everything! LOL!
