Let me start off by saying, Thank you to Linda for trusting me with her booth space for the sake of this video, to Sandy & Jeffrey for doing all of the awesome extra shelf work to the space when they didn't have to, Eric for helping lift heavy furniture, Bria Q. and the Vintage Booth Pro Community FB page that recommend this would be a good video to make and you guys for being so patient as I worked on this project. Ever wish there was a Bar Rescue show but for Antique Booths? Hopefully this video will satisfy that itch. I really enjoyed playing with someone else's inventory and stretching my creative styling muscles! This was exactly what the doctor ordered and maybe I'll do it again 😉 Would you let someone else give your antique booth a makeover?

Would you trust another dealer to give your booth a makeover??? 👀

@joannewatson4040 Месяц назад

Yes if they were as talented and considerate as you. I think she knows you’ll make it beautiful.

@juliecree8756 Месяц назад

If they are is good as you

@thepiddlingpicker6623 Месяц назад

If it is you!

@user-gt4yu2re7p Месяц назад

I would think that the lady that has the booths would be there helping. That’s a lot of heavy stuff for one person.

@ginj5375 Месяц назад

Yes, one person shouldn't move those heavy pieces! Great help from those men working next booth!!

@harlots_and_trinkets770 Месяц назад

I would watch this TLC show, “Antique Booth Rescue” where you travel the country doing exactly THIS!! 👏👏👏

@jenne3012 15 дней назад

I would feel much better if perhaps there was a piece of wood from Sandy across the top of the showcase to utilize the framework to help support that buffet cabinet top

@lisacestkowski1805 Месяц назад

You tamed the chaos! She has some lovely pieces in her booth, but they were buried in the clutter. It’s so much prettier and more shoppable now. A++

@b.l.wilson9724 Месяц назад

Amanda, I think you need your own television show on HGTV where you rearrange antique shops/booths, etc. You are very talented.

@sandraking1635 Месяц назад

Yes, please!!!

@debbiejessen410 Месяц назад

I forgot to mention what an amazing neighbor you have next to her. What a generous bunch of guys to offer to build you a support structure for your shelf. It gave her booth character and also a place for her baskets. They are truly the nicest people.

Like nite & day!

@pattyhannam2986 Месяц назад

@swingdancer49 Месяц назад

Amanda, I can't even begin to tell you how creative you are...I watched every second of this video and totally enjoyed everything you did and was amazed how you maneuvered everything around and had it looking like a totally different space. And the addition from the guys for the top rack AND the shelves for the bookcase were awesome...love this comaraderie between vendors. This made my heart so happy to see you help another vendor out and totally transform a crowded, haphazard looking booth into a beautiful work of wonder...hope she totally appreciated everything you did for her, as I'm sure she did, but this actually might end up being your calling...to help style other people's booths, but of course I still love your booth and getting to see you transform it. Thanks for making my evening much more enjoyable :)

@kats3969 Месяц назад

An hour long video from Amanda?!? 😍🖤

@amandasmercantile Месяц назад

Kat 🙌🏼 Longer videos will be here to stay!

@JShow78 Месяц назад

The owner of this booth has really fantastic items and now you can see them. Also, the grouping of items really drawls your eye into the booth. Lovely set up

@dianefrazier7789 Месяц назад

Oh Amanda you did such an excellent job of totally changing and organizing her booth. It was a cluttered mess before. You gave it a cohesive look. I hope she paid you handsomely for all your hard work. Thanks for the great video. I also loved how you color coordinated the books on the shelves. Genius. You have so much talent.

@dittedyret Месяц назад

I was gonna write the exact same. Doing another Space but your own really shows just How good an eye you have for this! Just lovely!

@monicahennessy5648 Месяц назад

I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been covered in the comments, but I want to say how much I savored every second of this video. I could watch you rework booths all day long. Love seeing your thought process, how you visualize in your mind, and how you make adjustments and changes. It's all so inspirational. When I first saw the booth, I thought I probably wouldn't shop it/not my style. After your transformation, I changed my mind. You can have really awesome inventory, but if it isn't staged right, the customer walks on by. You get bonus points for not only all the heavy lifting you did, but also for the meticulous cleaning, dusting, sweeping, and repair work you did. Attention to detail! Thanks so much for doing this video!

@jantidbury5973 Месяц назад

Please please please do another program like this. I loved what you did and it was great getting into this with you and having the longer program made it great to watch and I'm sure the owner must have been thrilled

@kaihandren9309 Месяц назад

Some people have a talent for doing this kind of work -- you definitely do ( regular fans knew that ) you took a lackluster confusing booth & transformed it -- now open & traversable/ like objects grouped / engaging vignettes/ wall art hung correctly .... 100 % better ! Bet she'll be stunned!( make a short & tell us what she thought )

@denisemcgovern2485 Месяц назад

What a difference!! You did a fantastic job on your friend’s booth. Now all the dealers at the Factory are going to want to curate their booth. 👏👏👏👏

@rosemaryguyton9835 Месяц назад

Wow, Amanda! You sure worked your majic. This both looks 1000% better. There is much better flow and cohesiveness. Designing is your gift for sure.

@rhondawillis3019 Месяц назад

Amanda you are so talented. That booth is 100x better. Bet she will want you to work your magic on her other booths. Great video.

@kaihandren9309 Месяц назад

I just started watching & will comment again ... First thought ... I hope you're getting paid for this -- you Now have a specialist consulting business !!!! I had a friend who was a decorator & a big part of her business was using the existing furniture & rearranging it & putting rooms together .... ( ideas !)

@rosemaryguyton9835 Месяц назад

I was thinking the same thing.

@b.l.wilson9724 Месяц назад

I think not getting paid and showcasing her skills with this one will get her paid more because of the vendors who are going to need her services and consultation. Great strategy ❤

@ginacrusco234 Месяц назад

INfinitely more approachable, readable, and magnetic! Every vignette is exactly what you want it to be and at the same time utterly unexpected.

@jennifercorso4055 Месяц назад

That lady has A LOT of stuff! You worked your magic! That was a lot of work. I wish I had your energy 😊

@emilyjull1102 Месяц назад

What an immense amount of work. I imagine her sales will be better than she has seen in a very long time. Very kind of you and the guys next door. 👍💚

@lisaiwanski524 Месяц назад

Gonna say it again we need talented people with stylistic vision to become Booth stylists for others, her sales are going to blossom

@pamelafox7677 Месяц назад

Wowza! I don’t know why I love watching you move stuff around and style it, but I do! It really looks great, the arrangements are so pleasing, full but navigable. Great work!

@user-sf5cd9ir8h Месяц назад

you need to watch the video of how she organizes her booth at a vintage event. Her husband is awesome also. I admire both of them.

@SprucedandGussied Месяц назад

@@user-sf5cd9ir8h OMG did her and Mike get married recently? Mike is an awesome and super supportive partner and we love that for Amanda!

@user-cn9iz5xl8l Месяц назад

I bet she’ll make more sales as her pieces are lovely and so much easier to see. You did a great job, very nice of you. 💕

@timhazeltine3256 Месяц назад

What a great transformation! The booth's layout is more inviting and easily navigated by shoppers. Also, you markedly improved its merchandising by removing the books and other "unprocessed" inventory, which is a really important strategy for increasing the booth's attractiveness to potential customers (to me, clutter and unpriced merchandise are big negatives).

@jeffvenables4845 Месяц назад

Amanda, you are a girl after my own heart-“But first, a peanut butter ball.” You did a fabulous job changing up Linda’s space! You made it so much more attractive and shoppable-in the excellent way only you can!!

@mjsimm Месяц назад

As someone that also works an antique shop plus stages for estate sales, I love what you were able to accomplish in only 5 days! Absolutely she hit the jackpot having you there. It's to bad she didn't have someone available to help you with those books! Anyhoo new subscriber, now onto the binge watch of previous videos! I'm a like things together colour sort myself!

@kevinalmeida6971 Месяц назад

What a treat on Friday! Thanks styling is definitely your element 👏👏👏

@premmens Месяц назад

I think she needs to commission you to do her other booths also...well done Amanda.

@kathleenlewis239 Месяц назад

What a wonderful service you've provided to this fellow booth owner! So inviting ... loved to see the shoppers drawn in! So much to see and it's so well organized in such interesting ways. Love the color blocking on the bookshelves!

@jamiepollard5726 Месяц назад

You are a miracle worker. I looked at that and thought no way. She has a lot of great items but you made it inviting.

@sharonhorsley4394 Месяц назад

Excellent makeover. You have a gift for staging. Maybe a part-time money maker for you. I'm so glad this was an hour video . Hope you found your tripod. I also enjoyed watching you love what you're doing. Hope we see you sooner than later. 🎉

@VickiChavis Месяц назад

I love what you did in her booth! I decorate the front window in our store every month and it’s like creating an entire booth in two and a half hours, but staying on a theme. It’s so satisfying to give yourself permission to create something beautiful out of a bunch of separate pieces.

@scotchgirl9727 Месяц назад

What an amazing transformation! Well done, Amanda!

@chattykathie7129 Месяц назад

I hope that vendor maintains her space. You did an amazing job. I’d like to know if this reset increases her sales, maybe she can track the items that don’t sell that are wasting space.

@ceciliapantalones Месяц назад

As a fellow Amanda in her thirties (who is also an occupational therapist), ya gotta use them ergonomics friend!! Bend with your knees not your back. Your back will thank you moving all those heavy objects next time. 💕 Okay now that that PSA is over, the space looks amazing!! Would love to know how quickly that booth's items move after the reset.

@brendawheeler2237 Месяц назад

This just proves it's not the poker hand that matters its the poker player and YOU are a master! Beautifully done.

@gildedgoodsvintage Месяц назад

These are my favorite transformations! I love watching your thought processes. I did a mini version of this yesterday with my coworker and it was amazing to see how much stuff sold today from that change. Would be interested to hear a follow-up from this one if she saw an improvement as well!

@robinbement1107 Месяц назад

Oh man! I'm exhausted just watching this 😂. May I suggest that you invest in moving pads. This would make moving furniture so much easier. You did an awesome job in this space!!! Congratulations! I hope she paid you well!

@60_cups_of_tea Месяц назад

If you had the time, this could've been three videos and teaching videos at that! That book nook could have it's own video - because it is so interesting! The goal was met in that her stuff is now "more visible" and showcased!!! Even though it was a lot of work, rearranging the stuff just brought in and priced, it is now a totally better space. She should have you do her other booths as well, now she will be making more money! Amazing video for me! A future request - please do a video on color in booth display. And please do a video on your vignette's with grouping items for display. TYFS!!!

@carlaking3459 Месяц назад

Such a great job you did on this project, Amanda!! Hope you were compensated well! Alot of work, but your little and big touches really show!! I liked how you respected her merchandise and ended up showcasing it well!! She must be very pleased as I'm sure it was an overwhelming job if she has multiple booths!!❤

@janetspies3078 Месяц назад

Looks so much better. I hope her sales are better🤞

@brendabowers2320 Месяц назад

As a fellow vendor that has been doing this over forty years, you have a talent that not everyone has. I hope you get to share your talent with a larger fan base. I enjoy watching you create with new ideas. What a great idea for a show! I’m with the rest of the gang, in that it would be a show I would watch. I already do! Your videos are full of inspiration! ❤

@user-sg4sx2pf3l Месяц назад

@cherylmclemore66 Месяц назад

Amanda, I just want to share my experience. I’m a retired nurse & I also owned an antique store in Sonoma County, CA. I’m concerned that you’re lifting & pushing so much heavy furniture by yourself. I’ve had 2 back surgeries so I know of what I speak. You’re young & strong but it only takes 1 move to injure yourself. Please be careful & get others to help you. Hope I’m not being harsh. 💖

@NdnUrbanCat Месяц назад

@jeanettejensen370 Месяц назад

Wow!! That was a LOT of inventory you had to work with! You have such a talent for staging!!

@lollywenzel7276 Месяц назад

I could have watched this for HOURS! You are a genius!! When you started rearranging those books on the shelf, I was like “dang girl”. And then the furniture placement, the smalls, the art… I don’t know what your arrangement with her was but when the stuff in that booth starts moving (and it will) you should get a cut - no, really. (Or pay for your next chiropractor visit ) And the neighbor guy was AWESOME too!!! One of your absolute best shows. Keep it up, girl.

@lollywenzel7276 Месяц назад

Ps - that foldable black metal piece at the end is a saddle rack for what it’s worth 😬

@giamaria580 Месяц назад

I absolutely LOVE what you did! ❤ It seems like the perfect job for me too. I don't want to run a booth, but I love transforming spaces with other people's things in their homes, so why not an antique mall where you are surrounded by the beauty of yesteryear? It doesn't feel like work. The reward is in seeing the results. You just created a work of art! Everything is elevated in value when it pleases the eye and draws you in to explore and find a treasure. Your client and the mall will be super pleased with an increase in traffic and sales because you just kicked it up a notch. I think an antique mall is sort of like an old neighborhood. As homes are restored, it increases the value and beauty of the neighborhood overall. And for people who cherish the things of antiquity, it's wonderful to meet others who also appreciate giving old things new life. Bravo! 👏
