March 2011 Design House Sneak Peek

I snuck into the Design House today and took some pictures for you all.  The full preview is on our website, but here are a few of my favorites. 

Remember the Design House IS open for Mother's Day weekend, May 6, 7 & 8th.  Stop by for some drinks, munchies, and of course, wonderful shopping.

The Old Lucketts Store Design House is about a shopping experience that tempts all of your senses.  And the May Design House surely does that.  Great products and original design ideas to tempt your eyes, handpicked scents that will transport you to a blooming spring meadow, fabulous textiles you'll want to run your fingers over, mimosas and tasty eats to tempt your taste buds, and great music to round out your shopping experience.

As you flow from room to room, our vignettes showcase our fabulous finds in a house-like setting to tempt your eyes.  I loved this bar setup on the first floor, with unusual metal light fixtures.

We're tempting your sense of smell with wonderful candles in fresh, springy scents...

For our horse lovers and lovers of great art, there are several over sized abstract horse canvases.  Make a statement for the entire room with just one great piece.

 You'll see lots of owl accents this month; in artwork, in pillows, and tableware (shown here).  Native Americans associated the owl with wisdom, foresight, and the keeper of sacred knowledge.  Hmmm, sounds like most of the moms I know!

These delicate necklaces with beads and findings are a feast for the eyes...

...while this sideboard with its delicate scroll motif houses curtain panels made of luxurious fabrics...so serene

Go ahead, try on our comfy slippers or touch one of our luxurious scarves. 

They add an instant touch of elegance to any outfit.

And of course, what is shopping without some drinks and food for your taste buds?

We'll have all of the five senses covered at the May Design House...we've even downloaded some great new 'tunes for your ears to listen to while you're shopping.

Oh, guess what?  This Thursday, we are hosting a private party for the winner of last month's Design House give away.  The winner of the April contest and 10 of her closest friends are going to have quite the Cinco de Mayo treat - a private shopping party at the Design House before it opens this Friday.  Lucky girl!  More pics to come...

Happy Mother's Day to all of our favorite moms!  Please visit us May 6th, 7th, and 8th, at the Design House.
