Trade Booths

[vanillasushi.livejournal.com]

I know I've seen some posts on this here before but I can't find them to save my life.

I'm doing a trade show in the spring to show my jewelry and I want to start planning for my booth now because I want it to be really, really, really good looking. I've seen too many people who waste their entire booth space by plunking a boring table across the front and that's that.

The booth is going to be 10' x 10' (because that's all I can afford). I haven't decided if I'm going to get a corner booth (w/ just 2 walls) or a middle booth (w/ 3 walls) My colours are cyan and white. I've used them on my website, business card etc. And I'm really in love with the idea of having an all white booth. Maybe like a jetsons-style living room. I know for sure I want to hang funky white based drapes because the rental drapes are super ugly colours and look 10 years old. I did pick up some uber cool chip n' dip trays from walmart in my exact cyan blue which I thought would be kinda funkier then plain square jewelry trays. I also stole a really cool bucket style chair out of my neighbours garbage that I may spruce up.

So I have a few funky accent pieces but have no idea how I should display anything. Obviously setting it up like an actual living room wouldn't work too well because coffee tables are too low for people to bend over and look at but a regular table seems like it take up too much room and will be too cramped in the booth.

Anyone have any ideas to display my jewelry but still have my booth inviting to walk into?
