Pin it Wednesdays #4 - a place for everything

For the type A's out there, or for everyone who just loves looking at a really organized space...we bring you our Pin it Wednesdays week #4!

This week's Pin it Wednesday is all about putting everything in its place.

We're featuring clever storage ideas that made us wish we could see the rest of the house.

March Design House - sneak peek

The house is repainted and redecorated for March.  We cannot wait to open the doors on March 2, 3, & 4 for everyone!!!

In this post, we have a sneak peek of the March Design House and four things you need to be on the lookout for this month.

What's in store - knobs

Want to instantly add character to a dresser?

Need an inexpensive punch of color for your furniture?

Want to remake a piece of furniture without having to refinish it?

The quickest and most inexpensive way to redo all of the above is with knobs.  And yes, The Old Lucketts Store has them in spades!

Store to Abode Fridays #3 - pulleys

For our "Store to Abode Fridays" post, we try to find something we typically sell in the store and then show you how you can use that item to decorate your home.

This week, we're featuring pulleys!

I found a very pretty wood and metal version around the store last week and totally underestimated the weight of it when I went to pick it up! 

Come and see a few ideas on how to incorporate these beauties in a decorated room...

Movie star cocktail

Rim a 12 ounce glass with a mixture of brown sugar {1 Tbsp} and ginger {1/8 tsp}.

We're featuring crisp whites in the bathroom this week for Pin it Wednesday.

From romantic and earthy to modern and chic, we're featuring very different baths that all make use of crisp whites.

Picking the palette - March Design House

I'm so excited to show you the March Design House {open March 2, 3 & 4}.  March for me is all about adding elements of surprise with paint and color.  Whether it's images on the wall, furniture, or accessories...all I can say is be ready for something new!

In this post we'll show you our palette picks for the March house.  At the end of the post, we'll even give you our palette cheat sheet so you can get the same look for your space.

What the...what? (#9) revealed!

 

We recently posted one of our items for our ninth installment of "What the...What?"

We had several responses and it seemed like everyone was on the right track.  

Store to Abode Fridays #2 - demijohns

For our "Store to Abode Fridays" post, we try to find something we typically sell in the store and then show you how you can use that item to decorate your home.

This week, we're featuring demijohns.

Here is a vibrant green demijohn sitting outside in one of our wire baskets.  Come and see how these look in a decorated room...

Pin it Wednesdays #2 - inspiring kids rooms

Pin it Wednesdays is a new feature we'll be doing weekly.

This week we've pinned a few kids rooms that we wish we'd grown up in.  Great color, great storage, and so much imagination.

See a few favorite ideas that involve major construction to pull off a theme and a few easier ideas that make use of what you may already have around the house.

This is also a Link Party, so link up your blog posts with your favorite pins from Pinterest this week.

What the...what? (#9)

We have a special phrase around the store when we find things in our travels that are particularly unusual, odd, confusing, or sometimes hideous.  When we come across one of these items, we like to use one of our favorite Lucketts-isms, "What the... What?"  Here is one of those items from the store.

See if you can guess what this is and leave us a comment if you think you know!  We'll reveal the item's true identity and purpose later this week.

Have you seen Jack?

We love to see where our finds end up.

Sometimes we get pictures back that share the item in its new home, other times we just hear our customer's ideas and have to imagine how the piece will be used.

Either way, it's always fun to see Where it Went...

Store to Abode Fridays #1 - antler decor

Here's a brand new feature we like to call "Store to Abode Fridays."  Each Friday, we're going to find something we typically sell in the store and then show you how you can use that item to decorate your home.

This week, we're featuring one of our favs - antlers!

Here is a pair sitting on a table at the store two weeks ago, come and see how these look in a decorated room...

Pin it Wednesdays #1 - kitchens with a pop of color

Pin it Wednesdays is a new feature we'll be doing weekly.

This week we've pinned a few of our favorite kitchens that are great examples of how to bring pops of color in to your kitchen.

See a few favorite ideas that use temporary accents as well as examples of the more permanent ways you can commit to color in the kitchen.

This is also a Link Party, so link up your blog posts with your favorite pins from Pinterest this week.

Two new features start this week!

We'll be starting two new features on our blog to give you more inspiration and a chance to link up and share your blog posts.
