"Mourning After"

These vintage glasses are a scream.  Titled "mourning after" they feature many scenes of the dreaded hangover.  Done in gold and black...definitely a conversation at the cocktail party.  I have never seen any like them before.

Ice Buckets, Trays, and Glasses...oh my...

We have some very nice vintage ice buckets...the two with lids are Georges Briard (one with matchng tray)...and a nice leather covered champagne/ice bucket (new).  The snack sets in the foreground...becoming popular again... are wood and cork.  There is always a good selection of glassware in the shop.  It is so much more exciting to entertain when you have interesting or unusual pieces to use!   We have what you need!  And they will last for a long long time!

Have a stylish FLING with SPRING!

Vintage lounge chair with great striped cushion is comfy and adjustable....side table is new...with gold painted top, and red cart is great for rolling beverages onto the patio or deck.  Spring is such a great time of year...take it in while it's here!  And do it in style with something from the shop.

Remember These?

Snack sets....YES. Vintage and making a comeback.   The amber ones, I have had in clear as well as the current amber...and these have the cups, which many don't.  The wooden and cork ones are different than any I have seen, and how fun for an outdoor or casual party.  The cups probably originally were for coffee or punch, but could easily be replaced with a cocktail glass.  The vintage vibe is so fun to incorporate into any decor or party scheme.  Try these for your upcoming Spring Fling!  Everyone will want a set!

It would seem that SPRING may finally be here!  We have lots of new items in the shop for the season.  Just did this floral arrangement....LOVE all the colors.  There are some really cute small planters in the form or birds and owls...and  baskets that make great moss lined planters too!  It is so nice when the furnace and air conditioning is off..and the front door can be opened.  We had a lot of traffic this past weekend  (not so many buyers :(  but lookers).  Seems a lot of rain will be coming through the end of the month..but maybe not total washouts.  COME SEE US!!

Add some VINTAGE to the mix

I'm sorry, but I seem to be unable to post photos onto the blog right now.  Please visit our facebook page where there are many photos, etc. 

A bit of vintage, antiques, or passed down treasures can add just the right touch to any decor.   Sure we want to have a "look" in our homes...but like cooking where the right seasonings and combinations add a dimension and layer of taste...  in decorating the addition of unique and/or found items add the right "depth" in decorating.   The end result is still a consistant one, but there is interest and a bit of variety.   I like to say the result is  "not like a truck pulled up out front and unloaded everything from the  same store". 

Many of the items in the shop are those pieces that can give an existing look some "pop".  Perhaps an accent table, a bar piece, a lamp, a mirror.....not major players in the decorating game, but certainly those that make for a winning look.

Of course if you need help achieving the look..or knowing what pieces to add, I can consult with you in your home. 

Think about homes you have seen that you really like...pictures in magazines that appeal to you, items that you are attracted to--and then strive to incorporate them into your own personal style.

Wecome, March!!

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I'm glad February is over!  Funny how the shortest month is often the least favorite.  March brings hope and brightness to our lives, and we know even if there is snow--it can't last too long.  March is also a good time to look closely at our homes and see what needs to be freshened up, replaced, or rearranged.  We have many suggestions in the store...from small accents to furniture, art and lamps.  Gallery hop is next week and hopefully will be a busy one...with the Arnold Fitness Expo in town!  There are so many great things going on in Columbus--our wonderful growing city.  I know this post is rather disjointed...and I am not able to upload any photos right now.  Come see us and have some fun!
