Sunday Down In The Holler

Decorating the tree this morning
 in the pouring rain and thunder!

The Sago Palm is one of Steve's Christmas presents

Two out of six Amaryllis blooming.

The plants seem to like these low light/damp days.

This Amaryllis has a gigantic bud.

I love the red toile tablecloth under the tree. I ordered this from Dunroven's House back in the days of the old shop and have used it in so many displays and table settings. I throw it in the washer and dryer and don't even iron it!

Making room for unexpected guests next to the fireplace.

Cozy, cozy.

"Harbor Slip" or "At Anchor"

 are some of the names on the list.

500 sq ft all in one space.

"Harbor Slip" will have a small galley kitchen with open shelves and maple counter tops. Steve has some ancient tractor seats out in the shed that he will build kitchen bar stools out of!

Painted paneled walls and detailed window treatments will pull the one room unit together.

The smaller the bed footprint the better, thinking an iron headboard attached to a queen hollywood bed frame would take up the least space. Maybe a tiny little conservatory will expand the sitting area. 

 

Thinking thinking thinking...the architect brought the finished floor plans over today and I can't stop imagining the finished design.

Enjoy your weekend!

This Time Of Year

There are only twenty five more days of retail this year!

Then I blow it all out so I don't have to pay Uncle Sam income tax on the inventory that is left.

So I take all the remaining pieces and make a sweet vignette to try and move the last of the 2015 merchandise.

Add some flags to the grapevine wreath for an Americana decor.

Pull it all together for one last sale.

Come in and take advantage of the discounts on the remaining home decor, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Think of it as my Christmas present to all you loyal customers.

Merry Christmas to you!

Pattern and color caught my eye this week.

 Love the richly layered patterns where no restraint was used!

Eight more hours until "shore leave".

 Going to bring Christmas down into the Holler.

Let me catch my breath!! Finished working in all the new pieces from my buying trip this fall. The truck was so full that when Steve stepped on the brakes, hard, nothing moved!!

Please come in and have a stroll around.

Holiday hours; Monday through Saturday
