<br />
This week we will have our final design house of the year (Dec. 6,7&8)…so to celebrate the season, say thanks to our customers, and just to straight up rock the house, all of our remaining Holiday items will be reduced by 50%, and we’ll be doing select markdowns on furniture.<br />
<br />
There are still loads of adorable Holiday items, from ornaments to candles and garlands, gift wrap and ribbons…We also have some great gift ideas that just came in……the house is packed with fun stuff. We can’t wait to see you this weekend, Happy Holidays and thank you for a wonderful year!<br />
<br />
Love <br />

Directions</span></span></h2>
<div class="fn_instructions" itemprop="recipeInstructions">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the
flour mixture. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a <a class="crosslink" href="http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/food-processor/index.html">food processor</a>
fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter
and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of
peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube
and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out on
a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in <a class="crosslink" href="http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/plastic-wrap/index.html">plastic wrap</a> and refrigerate for 30 minutes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a
circle, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the
dough to make sure it doesn't stick to the board. Fold the dough in
half, place in a pie pan, and unfold to fit the pan. Repeat with the top
crust</span></span></div>

<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Toast hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan until fragrant and skins begin
to loosen, about 6 minutes. Rub nuts in a kitchen towel to remove any
loose skins (some skins may not come off), then cool to room
temperature. </span></span></div>
<div class="instruction">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. </span></span></div>
<div class="instruction">
</div>
<div class="instruction">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Beat together butter and remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar in a large bowl
with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy,
about 3 minutes in a stand mixer (preferably fitted with paddle) or 6
minutes with a handheld. Add nut mixture and beat until combined well,
about 1 minute. Beat in egg and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add
flour mixture, mixing until just combined. </span></span></div>

2 sheets of wax paper (keep remaining dough chilled). If dough becomes
too soft to roll out, rewrap in plastic and chill until firm. Cut out
as many cookies as possible from dough with larger cookie cutter and
transfer to 2 ungreased large baking sheets, arranging about 1 inch
apart. Using smaller cutters, cut out centers from half of the cookies,
reserving centers and rerolling along with scraps (reroll only once).
Bake cookies, switching position of sheets halfway through baking,
until edges are golden, 10 to 15 minutes total, then transfer with a
metal spatula to racks to cool completely. Make more cookies from
second disk. </span></span></div>

We've been searching high and low to find items we love. We have many of these in our Holiday Design House, but they will sell out, so we've held a few aside for our online customers!<br />
<br />
We just love our signature wreath that we used in our advertising for the Holiday Open House this year. It's knit on styrofoam base with a pretty burlap ribbon accent.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
These distressed banners are perfect to fill a wall, add as a table runner, or add some holiday cheer! </div>

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UENDUbiAAMo/UnJTK2CMqXI/AAAAAAAAEOM/Vu1r2_7SGj4/s1600/skates+lucketts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UENDUbiAAMo/UnJTK2CMqXI/AAAAAAAAEOM/Vu1r2_7SGj4/s200/skates+lucketts.jpg" width="132" /></a></div>
Every year as we wrap up our Holiday season, we wonder how we can
possibly top what we've just done...how can we find cuter ornaments,
how can we come up with any better ideas for next year...no way...it's
going to be impossible!<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
Then we go to Atlanta for our major January shopping
trip,where all of next season's themes are figured out.... the blood
starts flowing...the ideas start coming, and the cute stuff starts
appearing before our eyes and Voila! We know it's going to be another
killer Holiday Design House.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought it might be fun to give a little insight into what goes into creating the house and let you know how its coming along.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J9nJE6zdMy0/UnJTQQRW3CI/AAAAAAAAEOU/3TaWs3MPvzA/s1600/lucketts+nest+gold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-J9nJE6zdMy0/UnJTQQRW3CI/AAAAAAAAEOU/3TaWs3MPvzA/s320/lucketts+nest+gold.jpg" width="320" /></a>This
year we bumped our opening back a week because its almost a nervous
breakdown trying to take apart the October Design House and take it to the level of our Holiday open house in three weeks. As
it stands, our families are not fed and no laundry gets done at home
until this puppy is done. </div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZHuMpfqAEFU/UnJTQweaeOI/AAAAAAAAEOk/87GVq1J2pXk/s1600/lucketts+santa+room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZHuMpfqAEFU/UnJTQweaeOI/AAAAAAAAEOk/87GVq1J2pXk/s320/lucketts+santa+room.jpg" width="320" /></a>As we have mentioned in previous <span class="il">posts</span>,
the ornaments, garlands, and such are all purchased in January. Amy and I
also start purchasing vintage auction finds, sleds, skates, tobaggens,
skis all throughout the year and stow them away for this event. The
boxes start trickling in in July. Kim and Diana try to keep up with the
unwrapping and pricing during the summer as they know all too well that
its like a slow moving freight train that's coming straight at them with
delivery after delivery after delivery.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
Next when it becomes apparent that the freight train is winning we
bring in the high school recruits all lined along long tables, laughing,
eating and pricing Christmas bears, balls garlands....</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-flHbdowS_IM/UnJTQ1BnzhI/AAAAAAAAEOw/3KLfUfuzexg/s1600/lucketts+tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-flHbdowS_IM/UnJTQ1BnzhI/AAAAAAAAEOw/3KLfUfuzexg/s320/lucketts+tree.jpg" width="212" /></a>Meanwhile
Amy is formulating her game plan and themes for all of the rooms. She
starts assessing her color palettes to see what tones work well
together, what walls need to be painted, what antique elements need to
be brought in and what other layers she will need to complete the look.</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
Some rooms are no brainers like "letters to Santa"...we found a
killer life sized Santa who sits at a desk and gorgeous ribbons with
letters to Santa printed on them....soooo cute.</div>
<br />
<div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XvdAOhMpYnI/UnJTQfoRs3I/AAAAAAAAEOY/EO4kkA7w_V4/s1600/lucketts+elf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XvdAOhMpYnI/UnJTQfoRs3I/AAAAAAAAEOY/EO4kkA7w_V4/s320/lucketts+elf.jpg" width="212" /></a> </div>
<div>
Once
everything is set, furniture, trees, lighting, the ornaments start
coming into the house...once they start rolling in Amy personally styles
each and every room.( because she is ridiculously good at it!) ..it
will take her one full day per room...which is two weeks!</div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UVXSV1cQ2ao/UnJTQps-6bI/AAAAAAAAEO4/qhSDrVmhW8Q/s1600/lucketts+news+deer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UVXSV1cQ2ao/UnJTQps-6bI/AAAAAAAAEO4/qhSDrVmhW8Q/s320/lucketts+news+deer.jpg" width="212" /></a><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
Holy Crap Batman!!! right about now we have a come to Jesus meeting
and she delegates out the spaces she will not be able to get to...such
as the barn, , front porch, bathroom, outdoor areas...and we start to
figure out how to get these areas up to par with the beautiful house. <br />
<br />
This year we will be hosting 60 extra vendors that will stretch from
Lucketts Store on over to the Design House so that should make all of
this even more awesome than usual.</div>

As we were looking working on the ads for this year's<b> Lucketts Holiday Open House</b>, we were going through TONS of old photos of the house and shop.<br />
<br />
We wanted to share with you some old photos 1) so you know what to expect during our open house on <b>Nov. 8-9-10</b>, and 2) so we can recycle these images that were long buried.<br />
<br />
This year, we are having an <b>outdoor winter market</b> with <b>60 additional vendors</b> outside so the 14 acres surrounding the shop will have additional tents with holiday and winter-themed merchandise outside.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from past years, enjoy!<br />

<br />
We're busy prepping for the <b>Nov. 8, 9, & 10 Holiday Open House</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Still lots to unpack and Suzanne just went to auction Sunday and scored another trailer load full of fun!<br />
<br />
We got a delivery of doors, shutters and windows on Friday. The boys were stacking them against the barns so Amy can take a look and see which ones are going where in The Design House. We moved some over to the shop's porch too.<br />
<br />
Our themes this year are developing. So far, our rooms have naturally morphed in to some great themes...<br />
<a name='more'></a>...an elegant room with just antique silver tones; a Dear Santa room where we'll have the scene set up to look like a real Santa is reading and responding to letters; a Ralph Lauren style holiday - elegant and refined all the way; a beat poet's Christmas - the star of that room is a green velvet mod-style couch; and the sun room seems to be showcasing our bright reds, greens and white decor. <br />
<br />
So much more to do and unpack and price!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Really adorable vintage style bears came in. I love the mini plaid boot ornaments too. We were smart and picked up sleds throughout the year and have a nice pile ready to stage. The killer doors and shutter shipment from overseas has been making us all ooh and ahh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're going to be putting a few holiday favorites online this year again. We just love the look of this garland. We were shooting this picture a few days ago and they should be available online by the holiday open house in early November. </div>

</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>absolutely love the smells of fall, rich damp black soil, warm fires
burning, fresh picked apples, earthy fallen leaves and the crisp
cool air. Could it just stay fall and skip winter, please.<br />
<br />
Autumn
is romantic and calm. It is my time to prepare for hibernation. I just
switched my summer and winter clothes along with the cleaning &
organizing of closets. I washed all my windows inside and out.
Entertaining moves inside, I enjoy rearranging the furniture to make the
rooms cozy and inviting.<br />
<br />
Most
importantly don't forget the kitchen, this sounds crazy but it is time
to clean, arrange and stock up your pantry. The winter is the busiest
time of the year in most kitchens.</span></span></div>

Hey everyone! I'm taking a quick break from prep for <a href="http://luckettstore.com/design-house" target="_blank">The Design House</a> (Oct, 4, 5 & 6) to share a few photos from my awesome workshop with Amy Howard.<br />
<br />
Suzy and I met Amy and spent time with her paint line a while back at an interior decorating trade show, but this was three days in a small group learning her philosophy and product line, and practicing her painting techniques.<br />
<br />
All I can say is that after 20 years of doing this, I was wowed all over again. I wanted to share some photos from the workshop and let you know a little more we we're carrying the line in The Old Lucketts Store right now!<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here was our crew for the weekend! So great to meet so many like-minded people and share with so many other creative shop owners!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T8fIMy3sAJ8/UkmE8sf1GBI/AAAAAAAAEBI/cIr6kAbH4TY/s1600/1240572_575807845812998_1447545216_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T8fIMy3sAJ8/UkmE8sf1GBI/AAAAAAAAEBI/cIr6kAbH4TY/s400/1240572_575807845812998_1447545216_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the workshop room. The huge tables were stocked with everything we needed for our projects. It reminded me a little of the Project Runway work room.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gvDnrlyXx-M/Ukl7YgXuAaI/AAAAAAAAEAI/sw6OGU7TfVY/s1600/amy+howard+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gvDnrlyXx-M/Ukl7YgXuAaI/AAAAAAAAEAI/sw6OGU7TfVY/s400/amy+howard+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our little workstations. We had a cute little apron and all our supplies waiting for us : ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a_GZ9MXisYE/Ukl7Yl_fhlI/AAAAAAAAEAE/SfcooJkCeLU/s1600/amy+howard+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a_GZ9MXisYE/Ukl7Yl_fhlI/AAAAAAAAEAE/SfcooJkCeLU/s400/amy+howard+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a closeup of some of the product line & Amy's Color Card.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E5lDZASrYFw/Ukl7Ywk4uBI/AAAAAAAAEAY/A4gNPx48fp0/s1600/amy+howard+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E5lDZASrYFw/Ukl7Ywk4uBI/AAAAAAAAEAY/A4gNPx48fp0/s400/amy+howard+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The One Step paint leaves a chalky matte finish. Amy Howard spent 20 years perfecting her formula, which is used exclusively on her design and furniture line. I love the price point - it's about $30 a quart instead of $40 per quart like other brands I've used.<br />
<br />
Another favorite was the mirror antiquing
solution, which we used with stencils for a unique look. She carries a solution you use with sheet metal to turn it in to antique zinc - yum. There is also a gilding kit, pigment powders, and fabulous Toscana paint. The Toscana has an 8 step process (the complete opposite of the One Step formula) to leave the piece looking as though it was painted a hundred years ago in Italy! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I am workin' it! : )</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgMgXMRU2qo/Ukl7ZCQpCcI/AAAAAAAAEAQ/2hCkOoOHCWo/s1600/amy+howard+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgMgXMRU2qo/Ukl7ZCQpCcI/AAAAAAAAEAQ/2hCkOoOHCWo/s400/amy+howard+5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Of all the paints I've used over the past 20 years on furniture the One Step is by far my fave! The coverage is superior and
the finish is smooth and chalky. And it sticks like glue...others can scratch off easily or must be sealed with a
wax. The One Step adheres itself to any surface and will not scratch.
The One Step is considered a green paint - it contains no methanol and no VOC's. <br />
<br />
The finish dries with a beautiful chalky appearance that is smooth to
touch. A glass of ice water will not leave a ring if left on a piece
painted with One Step. Waxing is optional if you would like to darken
the tone of the paint and it will give the piece an even smoother feel.<br />
<br />

The are spot on! They are saturated and rich in tone while maintaining a
fresh lightness...and that's hard to do! We currently carry a subset
of the complete line of colors. I selected my favorites and the ones
that I thought would be most useful to our Lucketts customers. My
personal favorites from the ones that we carry are the luxe grey and
French blue. They are light and fresh. But when used with the wax, take
on a rich old world feel.<br />
<br />
I just ordered three new colors that should
arrive the first week of October. They're warmer colors for the fall - Charm School (red), Kembel (mocha), & Windsor (green). (I posted the color cards at the bottom of the post)<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What we have in the store right now: </b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>One Step Paint</b> ($28/qt.) - I've selected my favorite colors from the line, but I'm open to what you all would like to see in the shop. We have the <b>spray enamel </b>(12oz. $18), the original <b>wax</b> (15oz. $28), and <b>dark wax </b>(3oz. $12). I've ordered the full line of products (antique mirror, gilding, antique zinc and toscana) which should be in sometime the first week of October. </div>

We want them to be an experience where you can forget everything else for a few hours and have fun playing and learning. I want to start offering workshops at The Old Lucketts Store in 2014! </div>

<br />
Kathy has been bringing her finds in to our farmhouse throughout September, primping and preening, getting ready for the October 4-5&6 <a href="http://luckettstore.com/design-house" target="_blank">Design House</a>.<br />
<br />
We've all been wondering what Kathy is going to whip up. She's decided on a style she calls mix 'n chic in a girly office. Kathy found a fabulous <br />
<a name='more'></a>Chinoiserie buffet with mirrored panels and faux bamboo and a pair of great bookcases. There will be glossy black
and white, which some yellow and orange accents, oversized houndstooth
pattern sprinkled around, upholstered pieces, and of course tons of
layered accessories. <br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BrHU2WJhL8U/UkV5ijH7rII/AAAAAAAAD-U/l128e4sdo4s/s1600/globes+in+urns+004+labeled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BrHU2WJhL8U/UkV5ijH7rII/AAAAAAAAD-U/l128e4sdo4s/s320/globes+in+urns+004+labeled.jpg" width="301" /></a><br />
We can't wait!<br />
<br />
Kathy has been shopping, selling, and staging vintage finds for more years than she cares to admit. She's had her own storefront, shared shop space with other vintage vendors, and participated in vintage markets.<br />
<br />
Kathy describes her look as eclectic. She buys what she likes whether it's vintage or new, traditional or modern, the mix always works. Kathy has her home is her canvas where creates her design experiments. Kathy's blog, <a href="http://allaboutvignettes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">All About Vignettes</a>, is where she shares the results of her decor experiments, vintage finds, and shop/vintage market events.<br />
<br />
Kathy's sun room is a mix of Chinoiserie, Mid Century Modern, and Craigslist finds and got her featured on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G47OHEI4RM" target="_blank">The Nate Berkus Show</a>. On the show, Kathy shared with Nate's viewers how she pulled together the room inexpensively with a high end result.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fxYuxo2FIWk/UkV5ibD7GLI/AAAAAAAAD-Q/lzDKsHUIjTg/s1600/Reflections+5+004+labeled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fxYuxo2FIWk/UkV5ibD7GLI/AAAAAAAAD-Q/lzDKsHUIjTg/s400/Reflections+5+004+labeled.jpg" width="265" /></a>Recently, Kathy's home was featured on Houzz as a Home Tour. Kathy said "I think it showed how much fun I have mixing vintage finds with new decor. And of course many of those fabulous vintage treasures have come from my favorite shopping resource, Lucketts Store."<br />
<br />
Here's what the intro to the <a href="http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/13809402/w/sid=1/list/My-Houzz--Treasure-Hunting-Pays-Off-in-Maryland" target="_blank">Houzz</a> article said:<br />
<br />
"Artfully layered accessories and patterns plus an eclectic furniture mix make for intriguing decor with vintage flair.<br />
<br />
Homeowner Kathleen Wall calls her style vintage with a twist. But what does she twist? Try Corinthian columns, faux snakeskin and layer upon layer of patterns and accessories. Her design experiments — as the retired teacher, interior design dabbler and blogger behind All About Vignettes calls them — take place in her family's 1970s Maryland home. <br />
<br />
Wall has used her style over the past two decades to transform an exterior once marked with minimal landscaping and a dated interior into a home that’s full of unique design. "My goal is to inspire you to think out of the box and break some design rules along the way," she says. " <br />

<br />
Kathy has done such a beautiful job, we can't wait to see how everything comes together for the October 4-5-6 Design House, a short walk across the parking lot at The Old Lucketts Store.<br />

Anne brought in a bunch of pumpkins and gourds of all sorts in to the shop this past week.<br />
<br />
There are a bunch of varieties and these are really beautiful. <br />
<br />
We just love what Anne is able to do with these gourds and pumpkins. She has so many great ideas for displays and vignettes for your home.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures from her space this week<br />

since the first Twinkle Bell dinner when I made the creamy corn
polenta, I am obsessed with freshly gristed cornmeal. I have to say it
is unbelievable more delicious than just plan store bought. If you have
the chance to find it at a farmers market or at a mill it is worth the
extra time & effort to track it down.</span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">

We have several new items in the shop this week, and we're super excited to be carrying Amy Howard at Home One Step Paints. <br />
<br />
After visiting a recent home decor show, we saw Amy's booth and fell in love with her story, the color palette of this line, and most importantly the quality & price point of this paint line. <br />
<br />
We just got a new shipment of paints in late this week, and we also have several other new finds for you to see this weekend!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Come help us bid farewell to summer and usher in autumn with a harvest festival. </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;">We are going to light up the sky and open up the mess hall with some locally sourced seasonal bo</span>unty. Our focus for your evening stay will include: building team spirit, constructing a teepee styled campfire, using old fashioned communication skills in making new friends, learning the do's and don't of glamping and of course becoming one with nature.<br />
<br />
So dust off your Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs knapsack and here is your camp check list: a flask of whiskey or BYOB, flashlight or lantern, your ugliest coffee mug, a deck of cards, a blanket to cuddle in, last but not least a long stick. We do have a strict dress code at Camp Luckybell so remember to wear something flannel, you know grunge, lumberjack, preppy, chic, etc. and we do recommend not to forget to wear your woolly socks. Tell the kids not to worry we do provide adult supervision. See you soon and thanks for your interest. <br />

<br />
There was trash, rotten wood, and some enterprising plants and wildlife that had taken up in the old general store.<br />
<br />
We found some more photos of the shop during the extensive renovation 17 years ago. Have fun looking at the before and afters!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Here is a view of the porch from the road during construction. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z-7YXAMiT2A/UhyjOP_BtyI/AAAAAAAAD1M/tsBiVLRyYeo/s1600/porch+in+process.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z-7YXAMiT2A/UhyjOP_BtyI/AAAAAAAAD1M/tsBiVLRyYeo/s400/porch+in+process.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The signature Lucketts green color you see in the second photo was added later on, and the brick supports and porch railings were painted white. We added the doors a few years ago to help enclose the porch more and cut down on the wind. We like to dress the doors up for the holidays too! Now focus on the two windows directly above the Lucketts shop lettering.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_JMENL0vDUo/UhyjnsjnegI/AAAAAAAAD4M/tp_AnmjfEmE/s1600/DSC_3885.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_JMENL0vDUo/UhyjnsjnegI/AAAAAAAAD4M/tp_AnmjfEmE/s400/DSC_3885.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is a view looking out of those second floor windows close to the road and just above the shop lettering.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wnb9OnUJgMI/Uhyjnst6o_I/AAAAAAAAD34/l03dvCdoNsI/s400/mantle+lucketts.jpg" width="266" /></div>
<br />
<br />
Here's another photo of the side of the shop that faces the road. Notice the small square windows on the bottom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c95rdrm6PDI/UhyjOyBiT2I/AAAAAAAAD1c/uMl4g0rThRY/s1600/roadside.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c95rdrm6PDI/UhyjOyBiT2I/AAAAAAAAD1c/uMl4g0rThRY/s400/roadside.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Here
is that same side by the road being resided last year. Notice the same
square windows that were original and a few longer windows added later for additional light. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak2MIbmjwBY/UhyjmxXDMGI/AAAAAAAAD3k/E6RHKjn2uSc/s1600/lucketts_09.30.12_6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ak2MIbmjwBY/UhyjmxXDMGI/AAAAAAAAD3k/E6RHKjn2uSc/s400/lucketts_09.30.12_6.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
Here are a few of the original details left over from the store's general store days. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r609HwYP4qY/UhyjPSBT3FI/AAAAAAAAD1w/1qQjRoQIRig/s320/stairs.jpg" width="211" /> <img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-isB-kT5GJvY/UhyjmhZh3DI/AAAAAAAAD3g/79bnxJH2WZg/s320/lucketts_09.30.12_2.jpg" width="268" /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
This room is on the second floor. It originally was next to the kitchen and was likely a dining room. You can see a small sliver of the huge built in cabinet in the right corner of the photo. Notice the cracks and missing pieces of plaster in the ceiling. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wUpP1NiOMho/UhyjNr-jvZI/AAAAAAAAD08/4Xi_VRZWZ3w/s1600/dining.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wUpP1NiOMho/UhyjNr-jvZI/AAAAAAAAD08/4Xi_VRZWZ3w/s400/dining.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is almost the same view today with the same window behind this settee. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y5Wii7M8zVs/UhyjPf59ntI/AAAAAAAAD1s/3gruL4mWxJI/s1600/settee.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y5Wii7M8zVs/UhyjPf59ntI/AAAAAAAAD1s/3gruL4mWxJI/s400/settee.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
During demolition, a staircase was revealed and removed. We think this was a separate entrance for people living upstairs so they wouldn't bother the family. You are can see in to the guts of the second floor, which was in the process of being framed in.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VWLSuWcaZSM/UhyjN8_G4tI/AAAAAAAAD14/ZjIMv9HnXwc/s1600/hidden+stairs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VWLSuWcaZSM/UhyjN8_G4tI/AAAAAAAAD14/ZjIMv9HnXwc/s400/hidden+stairs.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
<br />
Jennifer's room is now where that old staircase was.<br />

This old scary outbuilding was attached to the main house. Notice the doors.<br />

Here are some more recent views of this room, which had to be completely renovated. The light source off to the left in these pictures is from the same doorways which now have glass doors.<br />

We stumbled on a few photos, and thought, "wait, we HAVE that!"<br />
<br />
We found some lighting and really pretty photos from decorators and realized some of our items were inspired by these same looks. We also saw some lighting from higher end decorating stores, and guess what? We have something similar for less! <br />
<br />
Here are a few goodies we found out there {and we have too!}...<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This has to be one of my favorite entries. I love the black and white coastal look. This image is from <a href="http://muskokalivinginteriors.com/PORTFOLIO/Lillyvale/14/" target="_blank">Muskoka Living Interiors</a> and features some great anchor hooks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We got some great <a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/products/anchor-hook" target="_blank">anchor hooks in online</a> this month and they're $19 each! (<a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/products/anchor-hook" target="_blank">AVAILABLE HERE</a>)<br />

<br />
<br />Back to school time! Love this oversize map wall paper and the sunburst mirrors in this image I found on <a href="http://www.shelterness.com/21-decorating-ideas-of-using-sunburst-mirrors/" target="_blank">Shelterness</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yup, we have three mirrors online right now in our online store, <a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/search?q=mirrors" target="_blank">Shop Lucketts</a>, for sale that range from $24 to $198!

<br />
This cutie came in online Thursday and is $24! (<a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/products/gold-sunburst-mirror" target="_blank">AVAILABLE HERE</a>)<br />

<br />
These really beautiful cage lights were clustered together and made in to a light fixture (<a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/industrial-cage-work-light-chandelier.html" target="_blank">which sells for $489 here</a>). So creative with an industrial twist!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We have three styles of very similar <a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/search?q=hanging+pendant" target="_blank">pendant lights that sell for $39 each</a>. Couldn't you just as easily cluster them yourself to make a similar fixture? (<a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/search?q=hanging+pendant" target="_blank">AVAILABLE HERE</a>)<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This was a favorite whoa moment today. <a href="http://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod690053&categoryId=cat1701013" target="_blank">Restoration Hardware</a> has a really cool looking metal orb light fixture. Their 18" x 19" x 21" version is $595 (The larger one in the second picture is $995).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is <a href="http://shoplucketts.myshopify.com/collections/lucketts-latest/products/chandelier-1" target="_blank">our 20" round metal orb chandelier</a>. This pic was taken from a past Design House, but we put a few available for sale online. Oh, and ours is $189.

<br />
Maybe you'd like to customize a dresser and bring it back to life with paint.<br />
<br />
Some of our customers want to walk in our shop and find a piece already fixed up and prettied up. We also know others of you are big DIYers, looking to do your own rescuing. <br />
<br />
That's why we're adding a new Rescue Me section outside the shop to complement our new paint line <a href="http://www.amyhowardathome.com/" target="_blank">Amy Howard at Home</a> that should be arriving later this month at the shop.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />Look for these Rescue Me tags outside. The Rescue Me area is right behind the pavilions in the pea gravel area. We have set up a tent with pieces that we feel could benefit from some TLC.<br />

Oh look, here is some inspiration from our last <a href="http://www.luckettstore.com/design-house" target="_blank">Design House</a>. This similar piece was totally transformed with two colors of paint and some new hardware! <br />

<br />
We'll be posting some of our favorite inspiration pieces, ideas & colors on our new <a href="http://pinterest.com/luckettstore/rescue-me-furniture-diy/" target="_blank">Rescue Me Pinterest board</a>.<br />
<br />
We will be offering a new line of paint (hopefully starting this week) at the shop. It's called <a href="http://www.amyhowardathome.com/" target="_blank">Amy Howard at Home</a> and we recently discovered it in Atlanta and fell in love. The one step formula, really, really peaked our interest, but the color palette, variety of finishes, and price point kept our attention big time!<br />
<br />
<br />
So check out our Rescue Me section next time you're at the shop and look for the Amy Howard paints soon at the shop! {our Amy will be heading to some workshops and will be offering painting & refinishing workshops at the shop in the future using this line}Emily Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18010438254827824908noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732009186105339792.post-58229253868617581922013-08-19T11:16:00.000-04:002013-08-19T13:22:28.870-04:00Goldilocks and the Fall Design House color palette<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3CWpPbY5qQU/UhI2DESEREI/AAAAAAAADr4/qSpyWfk3GK0/s1600/DH+Sept+2013+colors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3CWpPbY5qQU/UhI2DESEREI/AAAAAAAADr4/qSpyWfk3GK0/s200/DH+Sept+2013+colors.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
Amy is obsessed with color. And she's really, really good at it. <br />
<br />
Amy can have conversations about the precise color at the bottom of a glass of iced tea where the tea and water begin to mix (true story).<br />
<br />
She can tell you why there are 45 different shades of off-white in the paint
store, how they're different, and when and why you would use one over
another. <br />
<br />
She can also tell you when all the colors in the paint store just won't cut it for the specific light and furnishings in a room. Enter Amy's custom color for September....a color she's calling Mocha Ya-Ya.<br />

<br />
Mocha Ya-Ya came about by mixing a few different paint colors that just wouldn't work individually. <br />
<br />
Mocha Ya-Ya had to be just right for the back porch and kitchen area...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pfMN-Rucn7A/UhIx5VYk0GI/AAAAAAAADrg/j__aSCwf6wE/s1600/DSC_6426.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pfMN-Rucn7A/UhIx5VYk0GI/AAAAAAAADrg/j__aSCwf6wE/s320/DSC_6426.JPG" width="213" /></a>...rich enough not to fade away in the morning light hitting the back porch <br />
...not too dark and oppressive for our kitchen which doesn't get natural light all day<br />
...neutral enough to work with our black & white art and full color art<br />
...complimentary to the wood tones of the new furniture<br />
...a nice transition in to the greens and greys in adjacent rooms<br />
<br />
When Amy found the right blend, she took a swatch to the paint store and she had a color match made. BAM! Custom color, here we come!<br />
<br />
We're happy our Goldilocks found a color that was just right!<br />
<br />
Amy even used Mocha Ya-Ya in her library and office at home. (Behr's Creek Bend, a beautiful grey, is also used in her recent <a href="http://luckettstoreblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Whyte%20Estate" target="_blank">completely renovated and rebuilt home</a>). <br />
<br />
Here are the rest of the colors Amy picked for the <a href="http://luckettstore.com/design-house" target="_blank">September Design House</a>. We're bringing in more color for the walls in the September House to add depth and warmth to the rooms for fall. (Think cozy, comfy, but still on trend).<br />
