This antique industrial cart on wheels makes a fantastic coffee table with character. But wait! There’s more. Blue Moon plans to repurpose the cart into a kitchen island by adding a top of reclaimed wood . Recycled and upgraded — we call that upcycling! Oh, and that colorful framed print? That’s a vintage poster from Paris, dated 1954. Tres chic!

The table’s on sturdy wheels and is affixed with four rare hickory sticks that were once used to guide the cart around some old factory. Just picture it!

These three lovely lucite chairs are so retro and original. The fabric is cool, but they could also be recovered — maybe in something solid and bright. Day-Glo pink, perhaps?

Oh, and did we mention they’re on wheels? So cool!

Doesn’t this hearty wooden table just call for a Sunday brunch? Pick out a colorful brunchtime outfit from Fresh Threads’s oodles of new merchandise.

Loving these new Michael Kors flats!

Check out this vine-clad lamp. It’d make a nice centerpiece or look great atop a side table, hm?

This cabinet is made of wood from industrial workshop carts. The chippy, driftwood-esque paint job is custom craftsmanship from a good friend of Blue Moon (thanks, Amy!)

And speaking of driftwood, check out our lovely little display of all kinds of seaside treasures!

These sailor beer bottles are authentic — and date back to the 1800′s! We’re not kidding!

Wouldn’t this helmet shell look fabulous ANYWHERE? What about as a unique bookend? Or perhaps as part of a centerpiece for a summer beachside barbecue? Are we invited?

Check out these gorgeous hand-painted Italian flameback chairs. Upholstered in blue-and-white vintage French ticking fabric, they’re perfect for welcoming spring. And they’re comfy too!

Brunch anyone?

Last month’s event was so much fun, and we’ve been looking forward to February’s ever since. Come visit Fresh Threads and Blue Moon for snacks and drinks and fabulous deals from 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11! By the way, 10 percent of Fresh Treads proceeds will go to the charity of the month – The Ronald McDonald House of Tampa Bay. As if you needed MORE motivation to stop by!

We’ll see you then!

Check out the cool detail work.

Picture it as an accent piece or as a coffee table. Beautiful and functional!

There’s nothing like one-of-a-kind!

The thing about lighting is that it makes a big statement in a not-so-obvious way. It’s easy to notice a bright couch or big piece of art hanging on the wall, but the right lighting is like the right make-up application — so perfect that it’s inconspicuous.

That’s the great thing about crystal chandeliers. They blend with a room’s other styles and colors while providing a POP of something special.

Slap a dimmer switch on these babies, and you’re in business!

Thursday, Jan 7, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Fresh Threads customers will get 10 to 40 percent off purchases and free drinks and treats. There will also be a giveaway for a free closet consultation.

As with all Fresh Threads sales, 10 percent of all the proceeds will go to charity — this month’s is the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and North Florida.

Hope you’re looking forward to Thursday as much as we are!

Take this fabulous chippy kitchen island. Sturdy, colorful and full of character. What could be better than that?

How about the fact that this island was recreated from a big old door? Check out the front detail with the old metal hardware.

It’s all thanks to a Blue Moon friend who builds furniture out of architectural salvage, including custom work. Call Blue Moon to work it out.

Maybe this is the year you reinvent yourself AND your favorite furniture. Hmm?
