It’s time for our annual Jaunary Sale. We are offering all art, lamps and florals (including custom) at 15% off until January 28th. Our new things from market are arriving everyday. Stop by soon for the best selection.

We are back from the Atlanta Market and have had a few days to reflect. It was a very different market than we have attended in the last few years. Pre-registration for the market was up 71% from the last market! The isles were full, the sales rep so busy we had to wait in line to place orders, and there was a big buzz in the air.

The BIG trend in virtually every showroom was neutral. Upholstery was linen or burlap on French frames with little or no finish on the frame. Lots and lots of interesting textured pillows were on everything. The accessories were mixed textures, too. Mirrored trays, crystal everything, sea grass, pottery, blistered finishes on metal, and terrariums in everything were on tables with little or no color to the finish. Gray wash was the exception on wooden pieces.

A lot of layering in accessories with glass jars filled with everything that would fit in them, neutral textured charger plates, ceramic jars, and black and white pictures or drawings, and unique statues mixed for an interesting look.

The color we did see was used in small amounts with the neutral backgrounds. Clear jars of oranges, silk pillows, and bundles of flowers ties with satin ribbon were used for “pop”. The other accent we did see was still teal. The shade is almost a peacock blue/teal. Very strong, but beautiful when used sparingly.

Some of our new things have arrived already. This next week should bring a flood! Pop by to see our treasures.

The beginning layout

For the last several weeks we have been updating you on the progress Mandy’s kitchen remodel. We are now back from the Atlanta Market, and a few days late in getting the final pictures to you.

The end!

Mandy and her family had an outdated kitchen and floorplan without enough storage for a growing family. She now has an open concept floorplan, entirely new kitchen and appliances, open back staircase, beverage center, built in china cabinet, new powder room, new upstairs hall bath, and new floorcovering on the entire first floor.

Today is the last day for out post holiday sale. Today all holiday inventory is 50% off.  Tomorrow “Let Inventory Begin!” Thank goodness it’s only once a year….. All of our new goodies are arriving.  Before the end of the week we should have our art shipments, and have already received lots of accessories, furniture and lamps.

Shirley has been busy in the floral department. We have several wreaths for your front door that will fill in post Christmas and pre-spring season. Stop by for a peek!

Happy New Year! 25-50% off gourmet foods to make quick appetizers for your celebration. We have a selection of Wind and Willow, Rothchild Farms, Plentiful Pantry, and Orange Crate Food Co. to mention a few.
