Brad Stephens Found Objects

Well finally, we got our friend Brad Stephens to Blog a little.  Brad is so much fun that his blog has got to be great.  He takes life to the extreme.  This year he has taken on the project of completely changing the color of his home from ho hum to a wowing Pumpkin.  I  just had to see that.  So, last fall I got my Mother into the car and took a ride down the sedate road in Rural Irvington Va. to see the Pumpkin house.  It was awesome.  The trees behind his house showed an array of fall colors and his home sat nestled in among the foliage.  What a great choice!  His home is now the jewel of the street even though it is not the grandest.

Today he brought in Photos of his newly decorated home.  He recently acquired a vintage black leather sofa from our shop.  This was the catalyst that began the transformation of his living room and his dinning room.  It has been a year or so since he entertained us in his home.  It was an experience.  Everything has changed since then maybe several times.  Brad is a collector of found things.  He arranges them artfully.  His home is a showcase of items that he loves.  Fortunately for Brad he is married to Angie, who must be an Angel to put up with the constant rearranging with which her husband participates.  Although every time he redoes his home, it gets better and better.  He sells his wonderful finds in order to be able to redo all over again!  We all have our addictions.  We are addicted to the Hunt.  There are always new treasures to be found. Check out his Blog!

Bad Brad Stephens All Folked Up

I have been blogging about the shops in Kilmarnock, VA. One very prominent persona in town is the fabulous Brad Stephens. Brad is a man of many talents. He is a published playwright. He is a talented artist and folk art collector. He can take all sorts of odd and unusual items and put them together to make something out of this world.
So it is of no surprise to us that when we brought in a doctor's examination table from the thirties that Brad went absolutely crazy over it. You will have to visit his Blog http://bradstephensfoundobjects.blogspot.com/. Brad works for Comer and Co. if you'd like to meet him in person.
