Frilly Lilly

I have been eagerly anticipating this post for a while now. I am SO excited to finally share these pictures with you! Ok first off... a bit of background :) A while back I was contacted by a lovely woman Alana. She was opening her very own Frilly Lilly store in Yaletown. She had seen my furniture on my blog and wanted a couple pieces for her store.


Frilly Lilly is such a dreamy feminine shop! They offer waxing, tinting, manicures and pedicures, beautiful jewelry as well as bath products that look and smell so yummy, you may be tempted to eat them!! This place is true heaven for any girly girl.

Here is one of my pieces! I swear I was like a proud Mommy looking at these photos. I was so excited to have some of my pieces in such a neat shop. I love the stand with all the products too; it reminds me of a cake stand.


Here are some of those yummy bath products I was talking about. I just love how all of their products either look or smell like dessert!

This is the pedicure station I believe. I saw this before any of the tiling or pillows and it turned out so perfect! I would definitely get a pedicure here :)



I painted the china cabinet above. I used a creamy white paint and finished the back with light blue and cream paisley wall paper. I only distressed this piece slightly to keep with the overall theme of the rest of the furniture in the shop.




It looks so great with all of the products in it! I included a before picture of the china cabinet for you all to see.
I owe a big thank you to Alana at Frilly Lilly. It is such an honour to have my pieces in your shop. If any of you are ever in Yaletown, make sure to stop in! Oh...and I would also like to say a BIG thank you to my friend/delivery girl Krystal. We packed up her husbands truck with all of this furniture and she drove me over on the ferry to Vancouver for the delivery! What a good friend.

I totally saw this shop when I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago! I didn't go in because I was in a bit of rush, but couldn't believe the gorgeous shabby pieces. So excited to see they were created by you Jessica!

Congrats Jessica!!! How fabulous. I am certainly spreading the word around Victoria. Ian just delivered the bedside table you finished and it is FABULOUS! Now I just need your "eye" to be able to pick up some accessories.
You are very talented and I am pleased that you are being recognized.
Good luck.
PS... thanks for painting the mirror. It looks much better.
