Home Show Display
ok, i know i have this picture in 2 other areas, but i am so psyched that it's together and that the home show started! i thought it was a little much, but whatever, it was worth it... this is my first ever home show, it started today, and it's in morristown. i just wanted to come out shooting big guns if i was going to do anything!! i wanted to add a coffer ceiling for the back half of the room, but ran out of time... maybe next time
tell me what you think... is it too much? i have more pics and the whole process in my profile gallery... check it out if you can and please give me some constructive feed back. thanks |

Re: Home Show Display
That looks really nice - until I saw the table, throw a red sheet or something over it
FYI - The signs, don't look right to me & your name is hard to read on them You might think about adding a window in there to show how those are handled (with a picture behind it of course) or mount a flat screen in the center & have it loop through pics of your work with your logo on it |

Re: Home Show Display
the window sounds like a great idea... we are already trying to figure out how we are going to handle this for next year. i ended up placing a sample board in front of the table, next time i will just build and paint a matching table.

Re: Home Show Display
Looks very nice and professional. I do agree with cover up the table.
Were you able to set the whole thing up yourself? The last trade/home show I was involved in we only got thirty minutes to set up. After that the union had to be used.
