To Play More

New Year's Resolutions -- that's what started this whole crazy shoot. In the soul-searching that I always do at the end of December, reflecting back as well as looking ahead to another year, evaluating what to keep doing, stop doing or start doing again, one thing I resolved to do was to use more of the energy and creativity I pour into home decor, photography props and costumes, on my own children. The goal was to not simply use my creativity to dress them up in scratchy costumes, have them sit on vintage props and bribe them to smile at the camera -- that I have mastered. The goal was to let them play, and simply capture their fabulous imaginings as they unfolded. So, in an endeavour of this scale, I needed to call on my fabulously talented friends, Angie of Button Up Boutique, and Julianna, of Red Rubber Studios, who just so happen to have children as delightful and creative as themselves. I gathered all kinds of things I thought our children would love to play with, and then we stood back and giggled as we watched them imagine and create. It was such fun to watch as a basket became a hat, a girl's top ended up as armour on a boy, a skirt became a veil. And Julianna captured it all so beautifully as it happened. It was amazing just to watch them play, to watch them build stories and forts and slip into their very real imaginary world.

A Bit of Sparkle for Your Wedding Day

Found Decor Company is not the typical wedding rental business -- you need those for your tablecloths, your stemware and the things you require 15 of. In my little domain, there is often just one of each special treasure, hand-picked with high hopes that it will bring a bit of sparkle, maybe some warmth, and certainly a smile to you and your guests.
Found Decor Company best serves those do-it-yourselfers, who want to pull in some "WOW". I specialize in unique, French-, shabby- and industrial-chic pieces with a splash of homegrown. I love the element of something a bit unexpected and pleasing, like pairing very rustic with fabulously ornate.
Found Decor pieces offer high impact for low investment. My large furniture pieces, like my Sideboard as your dessert table, instantly make a hall feel classier and warmer. Or rent one of my Loveseats for pictures, and then set it up in a little nook at your reception with a side table and some flowers. Think of me as creating and collaborating with you in planning this amazing day. Congratulations and let's chat! Becky, Found Decor Company
