After hours

Second floor of Lucketts Store before renovation.

Earlier this month, I promised a little spooky story about our building.

Once a Post Office, a general store, and a family home, The Old Lucketts Store has seen a lot in its 150+ years of existence.  This time of year, we are asked if the building has any ghosts lurking about.

I'll tell you one of the stories, and let you decide...

Valley Homes & Style Autumn 2012

A great big thank you to Katherine Cobb who wrote a wonderful article about our Design House for the Autumn 2012 issue for Valley Homes and Style!  {click here for the article}

Suzanne and Amy are featured on pages 26-30.  Awesome!  Thank you Katherine!

The next Design House is this Friday through Sunday (October 5, 6 & 7) from 10am to 5pm at 42350 Lucketts Road in Leesburg, VA.  Here are a few pics from the October Design House preview.

Makeover time!

Our beloved store is getting a makeover this week!

Since work on a 100+ year old building is never complete, we are hard at work again on the exterior of the building before the cold weather sets in.

Store to Abode Fridays #22 - Fall Entries

For Store to Abode Friday, we take inspiration or items from around The Old Lucketts Store and our Design House, and give you ideas how you can create something similar in your home.

Fall is officially here.  The days are getting cooler, and now is the perfect time to set up a vignette with pumpkins and mums for the fall.

Five minute tray and mirror makeovers

Heather and Lynn scored a bunch of old trays and candlesticks on a recent buying trip.  

With so many mismatched finishes and styles, they decided to get creative and repurpose the items.

The result was three projects that took less than 5 minutes and cost only a few dollars.

Here's how it all turned out...

New in the Shop this Week

I wanted to quickly share some new pieces that are in our Leesburg shop this week.

All of these items are available for purchase at The Old Lucketts Store, which is located at 42350 Lucketts Road in Leesburg, Virginia.

While I was editing these pictures last night, I realized that I was taking pictures of lots of neutrals ---- greys, off-whites and natural wood tones.  So I guess that's the theme for this week. 

Inventory Clearance & Online Store Update

Retail $65, now $45 on Shop Lucketts!

It's been a while since we gave you an update on our online store, Shop Lucketts.

It's true...we haven't mentioned much about what's going on behind the scenes as we navigate online sales, shipping & fulfillment.

Maybe because it doesn't produce pretty pictures {smile, I'm going through UPS invoices!}.  And it's honestly a little boring to write about.  But it's a necessary cog in the machine...so here goes...

Store to Abdoe Fridays #21 - Doors

source:  YoungHouseLove

It's Store to Abode Friday, where we take something we sell at The Old Lucketts Store and give you a few ideas on how to decorate with it in your home.

This week, we're featuring repurposed doors.  For all the DIYers out there, you already know that there is so much you can do with a door besides rehanging it.

Take a look...

Where it goes....now we know!

{Primitive & Proper}

Thanks to all of our creative customers who shared their photos, blog posts, and links with us on our Facebook page last week! 

Here are a few more images of items purchased at the shop and what you did with them when you got them home.

Thanks again for sharing!

Milk Paint Q&A

Marian's milk paint line is here! It's been fun hearing from everyone about how they will use the paint ---- a demilune in Mustard Seed Yellow, a child's dresser in French Enamel, vintage frames in Ironstone... to name a few.

This post is devoted to some common questions we get about Milk Paint, and yes, you can purchase it from us online now!
