That's a harsh title for this video but it's true. I like all the items in my antique inventory individually or put together in little groups but I struggled to make the whole space look as cohesive as I would have liked. It's the best problem to have in this business but when a key reset item sells I rarely have an obvious backup item to fill the gap, sometimes causing me to have to pivot to a new layout mid-reset. The social media and recent sales seem to say other wise. Everyone really loves the all the color, the plants and the vintage Chinoiserie decor! I"ll continue to invest in it when it pops up but maybe not with as much tenacity as I did before. I also wanted to share some great advice from a fellow antique dealer out of GA, whose antique booth set up is always top tier. She has wonderful advice on how to start a vintage booth, gives great antique booth tips and always has beautiful antique mall booth display ideas so make sure to stay to the end of My LEAST Favorite Antique Booth Reset Video!

I love your booth. Stop being so hard on yourself. You have a real estate business, a vintage booth, and a relationship. There are only so many hours in a day. So you take a step back once in a while to rejuvenate, it is allowed. Keep up the great creativity!

So great to see you back posting. Life happens, things interrupt, others ebb and flow. It's all a process, so just keep doing what you do and don't beat yourself up over not accomplishing all that you had hoped or as soon as you had planned. You've got a lot going on that takes your attention to manage in different arenas, so if the antique mall booth takes a back seat for a bit, so be it. We all need a re-charge from time to time, and the fact that things continue to sell there and some items move very quickly means you're still getting it done. That in itself is a good thing. It's always a treat to see your latest re-set and hear about your process, even if you don't feel that it's working quite as you planned. It looks great!

Amanda ... Thank you for the new video & booth reset ... jumped right on it when it popped up --- You haven't lost one ounce of your mojo ... you have that inborn nack of knowing how to put things together ... classic yet modern, chic& timeless ! ( that's why the point on pieces sell ) Japandi/ Chin has always been a high end bridge between styles... You're great at keeping your anchor base colors & bringing in a new nip of shades & pattern-- Your booth looks so good and as something sells -- you bring in the new that continues to carry the "look" you're after ... that's talent ! ( your music & side-bar looks & close-ups are 👍... ) Sending some fan-love to you & yours !

The burnout is real but you’ve been doing amazing!!

For the last 50 yrs, my living room has been decorated in blue and white Chinoiserie, classic , never out of style, some of my vases are pricey, but when I started, they were cheap! Repainted one wall in indigo blue the other 3 walls white, I live in New England and my fireplace is huge, so I needed a large white mantle to decorate, and a couple of 4 ft Foo Dogs on both sides of the fireplace. Tansue chest, habersham bar, sofa table, and pagoda lamp, etc. I love you, and your sister, you are so creative, Mom and Dad must be so proud of their girls, I love your guy Mike, my kind of man.

If you feel your booth needs filler, buy good quality silk greenery and flowers, season groups such as Fall, holiday and Spring. Buy only modern, young looking silks that appeal to your age group. Fill your vases and crocks and lay on tables. Price them as they will sell too. Your booth is wonderful.

I love chinoiserie (shin wah siree).... it's very easy to suffer burn out in this business...just the physical aspect can wear you out...then the creative angle...keeping your booth attractive, trying not to over fill it but yet not have it look empty and of course, to keep your head financially above water you know have to keep going...Until you are in the business, most people have no idea how much work is involved, but your booth always looks very attractive!!! Keep up the great work and rest every chance you get!!!

Your booth always looks amazing Amanda!... it looks more like a showroom than a booth! Even when it's "empty"... I covet your space and wish hope and pray I find something like it .. I have a 10 x 8 space with a 10 x 3 x 3 upper shelf area that I cram (as nicely as I can) as much as I can up there just to showcase as much as I can using many layers with small table etc.... and luckily the owners let me spread out into the hall area where they keep bigger items which helps orientate people to walk around the whole flea market space. I have only had it for a few weeks now and have had to leave it in a mess a lot just to get everything in an organized. I still have 3 cabinets that I need to move in and I may try and get another space at another market just to try and move things I have had over the years. If I didn't watch your channel and just saw the finished "resets" I would think you were in a New York Loft apartment! ...I know this video was a while ago but honestly everything I have seen you do is incredible. I went to College for a 3 year interior / architecture course and you know all the design elements naturally... and you love it so that is half the battle~!

That one little corner where you said it needed something (I agree!) to give a little difference in heaviness next to those big tables and cabinets, I would do a fern stand topped with a good-sized cachepot (for sale) with a faux palm in it (NFS). Something very steady so that it won't tumble like a house of cards if somebody gets in there pulling the paintings and mirrors off the wall.

I was an antique store owner for 20 years and when I sold that store property 3 years ago I had tons of inventory left. I went into an antique mall two years ago and love the fact that I do not have to sit at a store.As of this Oct I will have had my second booth in the mall. It is still a lot of work to come up with new displays and merchandise to draw people in. But it satisfies my creative spirit. If you love what you do it will all work out.

That is just so weird! I literally just did a clip for next weeks video where I talk about having way to much on my plate and being burnt out. I filmed it just before I left for Colorado for a yoga/meditation retreat. I arrived feeling sore, tired, burned out and well just wrecked. During that retreat I found the solution. I have a store, two booths, I sell on all the major platforms and I have a KZfaq channel. I decided to only do a video once every other week, visit my booths only every other week and list online only 3 days a week instead of 4. Hoping that's the solution. I hope you can find your own solution. Not giving up KZfaq though because I love your videos! They are definitely an inspiration and part of the reason I opened my own up.

You need to do more videos. (Because I enjoy watching them) You really have a talent for videography and have a great eye for displaying inventory. I know the struggle of having a tiny booth (10x20). With a lot more space it's easy to forget about an area, but when you have limited space, many times you have to reorganize the entire space when bringing in only one piece. I have started my own YT channel and it's way easier doing a sit-down video than a vlog, but I enjoy making and watching videos when youtubers are out and about vs sitting in their basement every single video.

Welcome back-I missed you! The re-do of your booth looks great. The plants were a nice touch. In my opinion, I think the tapestry looks better vertically since it looks like a tree to me. Goes with the foliage of the plants.

So sorry that your displays are being messed up by SALES !!!!!!! (I'm yelling!) HA! I really got a kick out of that! You have put a lot on your plate, so burn out is to be expected. You're doing a great job.

I use to have a booth at the antique store and work full time. It is so time consuming but so worth all the effort. Family had to come first for me but I enjoyed every minute of the booth. Take the time you need for yourself, we support you in your decision. We just miss watching your creativity and effort you put forth. Have fun with it so it's not just a job.

Having more than one business myself, I can totally relate! As the one picks up the other slows down, my vintage reseller business is so slow because I am not posting, not getting the time. But i can find time to post one thing per week, I just need to schedule it

It was so nice to see your video pop up! Everything looks great…you’re a bit hard on yourself. I get it. I had an antique store in Petaluma, CA. I loved doing the merchandising & window design. You just have to buy what you love, rotate stock frequently, & continue on social media. Great job, Amanda!

Amanda you amaze my every time you make a video. You are so creative. My sister and I have a booth together and I know how you feel on getting burnt out. What bothers us is the prices we have to pay to get quality items. We struggle to keep prices low for our customers without hurting our profit. So hang in there and keep making working videos. I love everything you do.

Yay! New video! I first found you during last year’s Advent videos, so I became very spoiled and have missed you. Love your videos and glimpses of your life. 😊

I like this reset, it's different yes, but it will still make people stop and take a look, so in my book this reset is a win

I think it looks great. You did sell a few large pieces in the process of resetting your space, so you must be doing something right. Give yourself a break.... Actually, give yourself a literal break. Maybe some r&r, vacation, or staycation. You can come back with fresh eyes and renewed energy.
