"Spring Celebrations"

The best part of market is when all the new items finally start to arrive and we get to dive into the boxes that are piled high in the warehouse. With peanuts and paper flying everywhere, we ooh and aah over all the wonderful things we ordered and try not to take everything home with us. As we each declare our favorites, we can't wait to show them to our customers. We've decided to share a few of our favorites with you for the season, and we hope you will be inspired as you plan for your Spring decorating.

 

 

Come and see us soon because there is something new around every corner!

"Celebrate The Holidays"

Last year I hosted a huge Holiday Open House, inviting thousands of guests to come over and tour my home dressed for Fall and Halloween. The home tour was a huge success and people keep asking when I will be doing this again? Well the time has come and our Annual Open House is coming again and I'll have my house open again this year. The house will be all decked out for Christmas this time. Open house is fun and free and simply the best way to kick off this season of magic and majesty.

"Bring On The Pumpkins!"

            Now that the dog days of summer are almost over and school has started back up, it's time to do a little decorating to welcome Fall. 

Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year. As the leaves and acorns begin to fall, the morning air feels a little crisper and sweaters are required, I let the rich hues of the season dictate my colors for decorating.

 I get plain giddy for pumpkins, I love to fill my home with these bountiful beauties. Large black urns planted with purple, yellow and orange pansies are topped with a large pumpkin. Porch steps are lined with clusters of pumpkins in an assortment of colors and sizes -stems intact of course- and lanterns are tucked in here and there for a warm autumn glow at night.

 Now my home is ready for Fall, and I am drenched in the autumn colors I am so drawn to.

 So now is the time to stop in and visit our store because we are dressed to impress and ready to give you wonderful new ideas for dressing your home for the season.

Hanging Artwork

Artwork undoubtedly adds instant color, and personality to your home. Collecting artwork takes time and patients. I do not believe artwork should be about the artist or its increase of value, but about what it means to you. Here are a few simple tips to help you display the art in your home.

When deciding how to hang your pictures, remember balance is very important, as well as knowing when to Lette eye rest. A tall space over a buffet or an entryway may call for a single large painting, but that wall that goes on forever over the sofa can handle a large grouping of artwork. The artwork should be different shapes and sizes, but with similar themes, like a collection of botanical mixed with landscapes, or English hunt dogs alongside hunt scenes.

Don't be afraid to mix different frames either; its ok to pair black with gold and burled wood. You can even add wall scones, antlers or plates in with your artwork to add more interest. But whatever you do make sure to have fun with it and that it is something you will enjoy looking at for a long time.

" Prints Charming "

Mix and Match Prints with Bold Solids

Little prints. Big prints. Bold prints coupled with softer florals. This season prints are all grown up and yet still fun, whimsical, and always friendly.

You will notice exotic patterns that speak of far off lands - to little, sweet princess prints mixed with bold swatches of color. Mix them up and create your distinct medley of style and tone.

 Bring in furniture with clean modern lines to add a little contrast for a very refreshing look this spring and summer.

"Birds Of A Feather"

      Flock Together Feathers are everywhere this season. From feather clips for your hair, to high end fashion-feathers are flying down runways.

 And what are feathers without birds? The world is bursting at the seams with all things aviary.

Peacock to finch, large and small-feathers are fun, natural and just a bit mysterious.

Our feathered friends are firmly represented this season with soft rugs made with the lightest looking feather patterns.

 Keep the natural aspects and couple this with spring greens, copper, warm gray colors.

" Poppy Talk "

           Show Spring Who Is Boss Crisp, fresh, and just in time for Spring; poppies are everywhere. Whether it is just the poppy color paired with a print or the poppy pattern, they brighten up everything-and fast! Get really girly and mix red/pink graphic floral prints with orange. These colors in combinations are warm, inviting and spontaneous. They brighten small spaces and rooms that have little natural light. Gone are dark dusty reds-in are the hotter, more vibrant, zingy-red hues. These new red/pink colored flowers are seen everywhere from bold graphic prints to softer water colored fabrics and pillows.
