Design House Sale - June 30th

I went through the Design House today to get a sneak peek of what has been marked down for the sale on Saturday.

There were some killer oversize furniture pieces and mirrors, a great mix of old and new accents, and great art.  Most items are on sale, and Kim was still making additional mark downs today. 

The Design House sale is June 30th, 10am to 5pm.  The Design House is on the same property as The Old Lucketts Store ---- 42350 Lucketts Road in Leesburg, VA.

See you there...

We got to move it, move it.....one day Design House sale!

We are not making this up....the Design House is having a first time ever, one day sale on Saturday, June 30th from 10am-5pm.

Store to Abode Fridays #16 - Frenchy blue furniture

Today we're showcasing Frenchy blue furniture on Store to Abode Fridays.

These serene pieces are a great way to commit to a color, without going bright. 

If you love to do-it-yourself, Marian has a few colors in her new milk paint line (available at the Lucketts Store in July) that lend themselves well to this look.

Update on the "Whyte Estate"

The scorching weather has the boys (you know Henry, he is everywhere) and I over at the "Whyte Estate" in small doses this week.  We are going through the house and picking out the original items that we are going to keep and implement into different designs.  This is helping me narrow down the list that seems to be a zillion lines long of what I need to will to gather in the up coming months.  

Pin it Wednesdays #15-Card Catalogs.

For this week's Pin it Wednesday, we are featuring card catalogs.  We love card catalogs for a couple of reasons; they come in all materials, all sizes and can be used in any room. 

Here are a few of our favorite inspiration images:

Welcome to Store to Abode Fridays!

Time again to feature an item from The Old Lucketts Store and include a few ideas for how you can incorporate our finds in to your home.

I adore vintage suitcases.  They're beautiful and functional - great for stylish storage!

Coming soon a lobby near you - Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint

Two weeks ago, I posted a few pics about the switcheroo going down at that shop. In July, we'll see some changes downstairs as well with Marian and Pete switching places.

I wanted to do a quick post to introduce a few of Marian's - Miss Mustard Seed's - new paint colors that will soon be displayed in The Old Lucketts Store lobby.

Pin it Wednesdays #14-Decanters

This week we are featuring decanters!  Now that summer is upon us, we thought it would be fun to show cool ways to use the popular drink containers.

Update on the "Whyte Estate"

Last week we gave you the full scope on what is going on with Amy and Chateau Blanc.  I bet when you read that we would be giving you updates, you were expecting a complete before and after this week or maybe some demo?  Well.....first things first:

But when a girl finds an easier and more stylish way to do her laundry, sometimes she just can't help herself...
