Following a designer from start to finish...

This past week I had the pleasure to meet Kelly Brown of Kelly Brown Interiors, as she came to pick up some chairs for the Richmond Symphony House Designer Showcase.  We have a bunch of items going up there this year, and the house sounds like it's really going to be something!  Anyway I thought it would be nice to show the room as it progresses.  Kelly is a talented interior designer who is a recent transplant from the west coast. She brings with her a timeless modern look and eco friendly sensibility.   

Here's a beginning shot of the room...  The room already has good bones which is a major advantage, plus it's a perfect place for Kelly Brown's talent of transforming space.  She's bringing the outside in, and with windows and a room like this it'll feel like living amongst the trees.  In her design she is using a large cross cut oak table with a raw edge, 6 original Hans Wegner chairs, 2 living walls, and a lot more.  This room should be a highlight of the show.  Most interior designers tend to go all out and make rooms too busy to live comfortably in, however I think this room will be both elegant, and comfortable with tons of style.  I don't want to give away all the secrets quite yet so check back with us and see the progression.  Please visit her website or visit her facebook page for more information.

Too Busy

We have been busy. We are in the process of selling two pieces to the designers at Kelly Wearstler and another piece that is scheduled to be in an up coming magazine spread. The nice thing about being on line is that you get to be on the edge of exciting things and meet some really nice people. Lewis has also been very busy traveling all across the state and we have alot of new things coming in. We have a shop that is 8,400 square feet. I never thought that we would be able to fill the spot. We originally started out as an Antique mall. Almost seven years later we are a single owner spot with only a few friends in the shop. We are literally bursting at the seams. The latest pieces that we have acquired are 6 early Hans Wegner "Y" chairs with the burned in signature and a dining room table. Those wishbone "Y" chairs are really beautiful and classic.
