Upholstery with Linen

The Simplicity of Linen-

The Beauty of the Antique/Vintage Frame with all it's chippy & broken trim.

The Appeal of Knowing there is Such History Behind each one of these Old Sofas.

The Detail in this Carved Piece..

The Inviting Nature of the Over Stuffed Cushions.

Charming Mix-Match of pillows.

And I Dream of the Elegant style and perfect lines.

We try to always have a linen Sofa or Settee in shoppe at all times- Just feels like home & so Inviting..

A Fancy for the Buffet/Sideboard

I'm Just in Love with Buffets/Sideboards..

French, Vintage, Antique or even modern ones.

Carved edges-Darling Legs/Feet-Amazing design..

Whether all in white-cream-worn-weathered..

So Many Uses for these Beauties..

In an Entry way with photographs- Along a Hallway stuffed with linens- The Dining room to showcase china- Behind a Sofa- or as a Changing table in a Nursery..

Maybe even as a T.V. Console Piece..

What Character that would bring to a Space.

One of my favorite things about furniture-especially Vintage pieces- is the many uses you can use for one item.

After Months of searching for an original Claw Foot Tub, My dream came true.. With a Lil stipulation of having to dig her out of a debris pile full of muddy water-twigs-brush-Lil creatures, I finally saw her buried away-As we rescued her out, My Love grew.

How Charming she is.

We Rented a Heavy Duty Power Washer-Used a Belt Sander and scrubbed as much as we could-

Then Sprayed her a new Clean Coat of Pure White.

Now all Clean-Beautiful and in Her Glory-
Resting in the front window of the shoppe for Display for all to admire, Filled with shades of Green Hydrangeas, Original Feet, Darling Wood Framed Tray-Apothecary Jars filled with french milled soaps, A Chippy Ladder to hold the towels, Vintage Crystal Chandelier to finish off this Romantic Bathroom..

The Tub says it All.
