Do you need......

Do you need a entry hall piece? Maybe this white carved chest would work? It has awesome swag detailing....just beautiful.


Or do you need a cute twin size pink bed. Maybe you are re-doing your teenagers room?


If you get the bed, you will need the pink vanity too!

Or how about this candy apple red chest ?
After doing all that shopping you will need this bench to place at the end of your bed and rest awhile. :)

Decorating with Bird Cages

We have all kinds of bird cages in our shop right now. I personally love decorating with birdcages in my own home. I love hanging them on the wall as a piece of art. I also like sitting them on a piece of furniture with bird nests, botanical prints, or sometimes a small lamp to make it glimmer. These are ones we currently have available.

Constant Painting Dilemma

I am always fighting off the battle whether to paint something or not. It’s tough to make that call on lots of really nice furniture pieces. It seems that in my store if something is not painted it doesn’t move quickly enough. Although I love the fresh look of white, the elegant look of black, the whimsical look of pastels and other colors, I also love the wood. Since I am on a wood kick today, I have decided to leave these furniture pieces alone. What do you think?

To all the local Ladies,

I am having a spring cleaning garage sale. I have cleaned out my home. The garage sale is being held this Saturday, April 18,2009. I have lots of treasures, including an ivory print damask sofa; slip covered loveseat with red floral & animal print; a rectangle pedestal table that came from the old Windsor Hotel; a big cowhide rug; a gold gilded settee; 2 Edwardian captain chairs; a painted red hutch and much, much more.

See you there !
