It's a new dawn, it's a new day

Okay baby, it's a new dawn…it's a new day..its a fresh new year and we can do absolutely whatever we want with it..

I signed up for a yoga class (that I actually went to.. normally I think about it, sign up, don't go and wonder why I’m never in shape….started a journal that I have already written in four times…. Again, I usually buy the pretty book, fill in a page or two and up on my shelf it goes.)

But this year I feel different, I seriously feel like I want to follow through on my intentions.

A few favorite {and helpful} interior design posts of 2012

Here are a few favorite 2012 interior and design posts from around the Internet. 

We chose these five posts because they have a wealth of information to help you decorate your home.  You can also find all of these posts linked on our Pinterest board.

Pay it Forward...

It is 4:00 pm, December 26th...

It is yukky yukky yukky outside...(but my backyard sure looks pretty)

I am still in my pajamas   (lucky!)

Last minute use what you have holiday decor

Happy Holidays everyone!

I just wanted to share some beautiful pictures and a few last minute projects you can do quickly to decorate your home for the holidays.

Where it went

A few more quick stories about where some favorite Lucketts Store items ended up. 

Also, be sure to stop The Design House this weekend {Dec. 7, 8 & 9 10am-5pm}.  It's the last event of the year and the girls are having a sale on Design House items ---- 25% off all holiday decor and 15% off all other Design House items. 

Mercury glass for the holidays

We love mercury glass around all year, but especially for the holidays.

Mercury glass pairs so beautifully with greenery and adds sparkle to your mantles and holiday decor.

We're really excited about our new mercury glass finish items available online.

Here are a few favorite holiday looks with mercury glass and a sneak peek of a few of our new online mercury glass items.

Advice for a milk paint first timer

We see a lot of first-timers in the shop ready to take the plunge.  No, I'm not talking about marriage proposals, I'm talking about the first box of Miss Mustard Seed milk paint.

Many have a sheepish grin, and start off with very little confidence. 

New gift ideas sure to please

Over the next two weeks, we'll be adding several new products to our online store, Shop Lucketts.

Here are a few of our new favorites that are perfect gift ideas.  They'd be really great hostess gifts too!

56 drawer cabinet before and after

Customers just love large industrial-looking pieces.  Here is a beauty we just put out on the front porch....drool! 

This lovely cabinet looks like it was used in a library or large office at one time. 

I just realized I had a picture I can share when it was literally right off the truck.

Pin It Wednesday #23 - Holiday Mantels & three new products

For Pin It Wednesdays, we like to share some pins that have made it on to our Pinterest board over the last week.

This week we're focusing on simple DIY fall and holiday mantels.

Oh, and I have a sneak peek of three new products that just landed in our online store, Shop Lucketts, at the end of the post.

Holiday Design House & already thinking about Spring {Market that is!}

When Heather wasn't helping customers or being attacked by glitter during the Holiday Open House, she was plotting the theme & decor for the 2013 Spring Market.

We also finalized the dates for the 2013 Spring Market...yes, we are already planning for and looking forward to May!  The Lucketts Store's 2013 Spring Market will be May 18 and 19th (10am-5pm) so mark your calendars now!
