It's this old house with some outbuildings full of an ever-changing array of awesome furnishings & home accents. They change it seasonally & it's only open on weekends so it's always a treat. It's run as a specialty shop of Lucketts Antiques (the salvage yard/ antiques store I always rave about) which I'll be posting about soon. Here's the bridgeway into the Design House:
They have crazy things like this bird house just set up everywhere:
And this griffin guarding the entry:
This is the back entry into the house:
The colors are always changing. I took these pics right after Chrismas so it's all holiday stuff:
I love their kitchen (below). Howmuch fun are the stools?!
Cute b&w checkerboard floor:
This back entrance porch is one of my favorite rooms. I love the floors & pale blue paneling:
Here's a huge hutch in the kitchen that stands in the exact spot where I got my hutch! (I always have to check out what's there instead! :)
Here's the front entryway (below):
View in from another room:
Here are some of the rooms on the first floor:
Fun lamp:
Check out what they've done with this salvaged mantle"
Big, fun lantern:
Ok, this table is on my dream table list. It's reclaimed elm & is so rough & natural. LOVE IT. (Actually I'm very into the drum shade too)
Loving this bench & hide rug: (should I feel guilty??)
Quirky lion print= fun
The pretty Christmas mantle & flocked tree:
Such gorgeous old doors:
A console version (below) of my dining room table ;) ;)
I guess I'm into the cow hide right now because this is great to me: (More cowbell anyone??)

And you know I love decorative balls of all shapes & sizes! (These were some type of wood composite I think? Really light & hollow)
Cute snowmen:

Here's an upstairs room. They've got it set up as this crazy dining room right now:
There are so many rooms!!

Here's another upstairs dining room:
How fun is the armoire in the background below? (Would be a great project to try!)

Here's one of the bedrooms. This one is usually full of darker colors:
This bedroom is so light & airy:
Pretty bed. I'm really into the wall colors. Just so fresh & happy:
And you know how I feel about raw wood. I need one of these mirrors:
Or this mirror (below)... & the chair is great upholstered in a rough burlap-like linen:
More mirros & that lamp is really tall! It's just a great place to find pieces with some real character for a bargain:
Haha, yes, I definitely loved the feeling in this bedroom so here's one last picture:
Here's the bathroom where they have lots of great little gifts:
Here's the upstairs hallway with the ever-changing art wall:
More fun balls:
These tables (below) are great! (Haha when I was designing a line of furniture a couple of years ago I SO thought I made up this concept until I walked into a store & saw it! :) But I really do love it when designers takes a furniture piece that is traditionally wood & switches it to metal or vice versa.
Below, a little too curvey for me peronsally, but they still do such a beautiful job of displaying & there's really something for everyone:
Such unique pieces:
Here's this really cool bar. If my basement didn't need to be my living room, I'd totally go for this baby: (One day! ;)
These shell pieces below are AMAZING. (They always carry a few of these) The carvings are just so beautiful. I think if you had a room with simpler lines this could be a really beautiful contrast:
This bedroom is so light & airy:They really do a great job squeezing in a ton of merchandise without it feeling too terribly cluttered:
Some great inspiration for older pieces:

And now back downstairs to one last room:
There's not much more I can say, but that if you are ever in the area, you have to stop by!!!! (And they also always have treats in the kitchen!! Good stuff too- like hot spinach & artichoke dip!!)
