Ralph L….. The Hamptons….. Beach House
Clearly another obsession of the classic navy and white look. It’s timeless, crisp and fresh. Check out the new chalk boards and other accessories on our facebook page!

Organic Display for Jewelry in CHARTREUSE!
I’ve been dying to create this display….. along with others…. One down and many to go.
I grew up in the mountains and fortunately had parents who loved to take us away through the summer. I felt I had the best of both worlds….. a great life exploring the hills of West Virginia…. mixed with trips to the Smithsonian, antique shoppes, etc. Clearly all these experiences have had an impact on my personal taste…. and this display case is a perfect example of that!
Can’t wait to fill it with our new lines of jewelry! Remember to catch us on facebook and keep up with daily updates on new pieces in house!

Here’s a sneak peak of Chartreuse…. Wilmington!
It’s almost midnight….. very long few days…. months! This is the eve of Chartreuse’s opening in Wilmington, NC! Appropriately…. It’s also my Mother’s Birthday!
Happy Birthday Mama! I love you!

Antique, perfectly patina'd church pew!
This is old church pew is perfect for seating at a table, on your porch, entry way, etc. I love it! I just scored this way out in the country and it won’t last long! Check out our “in house” album on facebook for more photos of this week’s finds!

Hepplewhite Sofa in need of love!
Another beautiful find! Most people would pass this right by without noticing it…. or they might laugh and think, “why”?
I, on the other hand…. fell in love! This is a seriously, sexy Hepplewhite sofa! The bones are in perfect condition and the potential is endless! I have a few ideas of what I’d like to do to it. I’ve had suggestions of white on white and that is where my dreamy thoughts tend to go…. but I think it needs to be modernized a bit, making it a little more friendly in a few different design settings. French Country would be the obvious…. but Bohemian Chic or Rock-n-Roll Glam……
Either way, it’s going to be fabulous! I’ve already had some interest on our facebook page (where you can see more finds on this trip) and this will probably end up being a custom job!
I’ve had so much fun on this treasure hunt and can’t wait to get back and reveal all the finds! Also, the new Wilmington, NC location is coming together as well. If you live in that area, check out the sale album on our facebook page and see some beautiful antiques that are marked 50% off right now in order for us to clear it all out to renovate.

I see a mermaid!
I’m having so much fun on the road and I’m finding so much inspiration all around me! I have some new places to check out and I’m going to a new auction house next weekend. It’s looks pretty fun and I expect a lot of “southern style” !!!!
Please feel free to call or email me while I’m on the road……. I’m probably gonna need a semi to hall the lute back! But there’s always room for one more piece…. even if I have to strap it on top of the truck!
