Beautiful fall weather and time to come in and check out the shop. Storefront is being painted and the awning will soon go back up......a fresh look for fall.

September is here.....the leaves are starting to fall, and we look around the house and think.....hmmm, "I want a new look"!! Without spending a lot, you can achieve that new look by sprucing up what you have, maybe rearranging things, and purchasing a new lamp, pillow, piece of art, some barware...or a piece of furniture. I am here to help you do just that.....come in and see what may be the answer to your fall decorating...and still have money left for dinner and a new outfit!

Such a gorgeous day today....there are sale items on the sidewalk outfront...25% off. Come see!!

With the heat and humidity most people are just trying to stay cool........Remember the shop is air conditioned, and there are selected items marked down. Stop by and take a look. Be ready for fall with a new addition to your decor. Maybe a new lamp, or a table...even a new decanter for the bar, and oh yes some cocktail napkins for entertaining or a new serving piece. The possibilities and selections are here!!

Just a few more days to visit the Parade of Homes in New Albany...and see all the great ideas, and of course items from the shop in the Tuckerman Group home!! A rainy, steamy day here in the village. Quite stormy out.

If you vist the 2010 Parade of Homes in New Albany, be sure to pay close attention to the Tuckerman Home Group home. T. David Collection has several items in this home chosen by Michael McKibben, decorator. A beautiful antique marble top table sets the tone in the entry way. Other accessories include a stunning ceramic Tang style horse on the cocktail table, and wicker items in the children's room. So fun to see the merchandise in this setting, and Micheal does a fabulous job of putting it all together. I hear the home is already sold! Enjoy!

With this hot weather, come in and browse in the air conditioning....upper 90's today. If you are going to the German Village Art Crawl tonight, stop in before 5 and say HI!

Lamps do well in the shop, and these new ones are quite unique and good looking.

Here are the new lamps...each interesting......one with wrap shade, one with patterned shade......The tassel style is a pair, very nice and heavy.

Several new lamps in the shop...stop in and check them out, and maybe have dinner at Lindeys or G. Michaels during restaurant week, this week (great specials at good prices). July is almost half over....wow!

Guess the dog days are here early..in the mid 90's here, but of course the air is on in the shop.... it's nice and cool, and selected items are 25% off.

When painting, especially in a small space think about a monochromatic look--painting trim, walls and ceiling the same color. Suprisingly details still show up, and the space will take on a more modern look, even larger. Then add pops of color or one color in accessories to bring it all together and add personality. Taupes and neutrals for the walls and your favorite accent colors for the accessories...even change them seasonally to keep it interesting and new. A touch of black is always a nice addition as well.

Great looking contemporary mirror in brown leatherette with silver stud detailing. Wonderful shape and size, only $425.

Decorative shell balls in three sizes, $20, $16, $12. Great grouped in a bowl or as a single conversation piece.

Tall mid century lamp in orange painted metal. Orange is a new hot color in decorating. Priced at only $140.

Three drawer bowfront chest with burl, priced at $725...great for a living room or even as a server in a dining room

There will be a few pieces from the shop in the Parade of Homes in New Albany in July. I have never done a home before, but am working with Michael Mckibbon, designer of one of the homes, who has chosen some things to use. The wonderful Victorian marble top table will be featured in the entry.

Thanks to all who came out on Sunday....great sale, great tour. Some items are still on sale, at 25% and 50% off. Also will have some items in one of the parade homes this year in New Albany.

Don't miss the sale this Sunday, June 27 from 11-6!! Some things marked 51% some 20% off.....a great chance to get some seasonal decorative items, or maybe even some furniture. Great items, great prices. HOPE TO SEE YOU!

Beautiful Armoire with black painted detailing and lots of storage inside, with pull out shelves and drawers. A statement piece, and fully functional!

Great looking yellow gazed Italian horse...in the Tang style, mid century. NICE ACCENT to have!

A new accent piece in a room can give a whole new look....perhaps a new lamp, or a grouping of decanters on a tray, or something more unexpected like a grouping of small mirrors instead of one large wall piece. Without spending much at all the room is refreshed, and your spirits are lifted. Even just rearranging some furniture pieces can give new life to an old room. The shop is full of items to inspire the imagination and creativity of the novice home decorator...and I'm always willing to share my thoughts and ideas too...for added inspiration.

Notices have been sent out now for the upcoming sale! Hopefully many of these great items will sell...a couple already have. There is a nice selection of sterling silver and stone jewelry in the shop right now...at really good prices. It is contemporary and stylish, not to mention unique. Definitely worth the looking!

Sale....Sunday June 27th....one day only!!!

Saturday at the shop..a rather slow day and certainly not a pretty day outside. So let's just look at some of the great things in the store right now!!!

Sold one of my favorite pieces yesterday...a small English chest that is perfect beside a chair. It is going to New Hampshire. I guess it was love at first site for the customer. It was (is) a beautiful little piece. There are not many people out shopping today. I am continuing to get things ready for upcoming sale at the end of the month. Stop in and say HI!

Today am starting to get together photos of items that will be on the upcoming sale, June 27, 2010...the day of the 51st Haus and Garten Tour in German Village. The items will be 51% off, in keeping with the theme of this year's tour....and there will be some very good deals. This will be ONE DAY ONLY!! It will include furniture, art, garden, lamps, accessories and hopefully can be done as a street sale.

Just getting started with this blog, and hoping to have it visible to those who search. The shop is filled with many unique and wonderful antique furniture pieces, a variety of lamps, mirrors, and lots of accessories that complete a room decor or make great gifts!

There are some pieces of Fostoria glass and ruby flash in the shop, imari, rose medallion, and silver plate....and many new table top items.

This weekend I attended a new antique show in Columbus at the Bridgewater Banquet and Conference Center. It was a very well put together show, with vendors from many states. This particular one was a benefit for hospice. Then I went to several shops in the Powell area to see what was going on in that part of town. All in all a busy weekend in Columbus with the Arts Festival downtown, Murfield Tournament in Dublin, and Gallery Hop in Short North. Columbus can be very exciting!

Today is a day at home to catch up there, and back to the shop tomorrow, Tuesday. Hope to see you in the shop very soon....remember the Haus and Garten Tour is coming up the last Sunday in June, and T.David is planning a sale in honor of the 51st year of the tour. Details to come!!
