Today, I crammed another HGTV.com project in when I had the chance and I made the trip down to Wild Rose and Chartreuse. I enjoy both of those shops every time I walk in the door. I could just wander around and look at the displays and beautiful decor.
Today was the holiday open house at Wild Rose, so it was all decked out for the holidays.
Lynette does an amazing job arranging things to make every one’s stuff look good. Isn’t this sign by Molly amazing?
I popped over to Chartreuse and something big was missing from our space…
Yes, it sold. I was happy and sad at the same time. I hope whoever bought it really loves it and will give it a good home. Sniff.
I forgot to share one exciting thing from our Swanky Junque Swap last weekend… I was interviewed by Stephanie from Dial M For Minky, who is an iVillage correspondent. The feature is about upcycling furniture and it should be posted in a few weeks. I’ll link to it, of course, when it’s up!
Tomorrow is going to be all about laundry, packing and last minute projects before we head out for Raleigh on Monday. Both sets of grandparents will be there, so it should be tons of fun.

Oh no, but oh yeah! I am so happy that it sold, it really is beautiful and will make one lucky lady or gentleman very happy!!
I wish I was closer to see everything in person but your beautiful photos are the next best thing.

Is this the site you were going to say more about in the future?

Sounds like you had a wonderful day. How exciting that you have NC connections and will be coming to Raleigh for Thanksgiving. I don't live that far from there. Enjoy your trip and have safe travels. Happy Thanksgiving! Love & blessings from NC!
I just knew your settee wouldn't last long…..I'm sure she is happy in her beautiful new space.
Don't you just love the part you play in helping people make their homes "theirs" without breaking the bank? Great feeling.
I hope you and your family have a love filled Thanksgiving in Raleigh.
Best to you Marian,

Well I won't even pretend I'm not the least bit jealous of all your wonderful business endeavors. In fact I'm sure I've turned every shade of green at this point! I'm so so greatful you blog about it and share all the fabulous details!
Congratulations on your interview! Oh, the settee I was in love with sold! I hope she went to a good home, too. I'm sure she did and will be well loved. That settee was gorgeous. Have a great trip and Happy Thanksgiving to you, Marian.

Congrats on the feature! Everything looks perfect, as always.
How much is the dress form?
Safe travels and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Have a terrific visit, and so glad that you're getting much deserved recognition!
I think it should be a rule that when someone buys something you (and we) love so much they should be required to blog about it's new home and keep us updated on how it's doing. 😉
Everything looks gorgeous!! I'm not at all surprised that your settee was snapped up so quickly!
Oh how I Wish I lived close enough to shop there. Everything looks gorgeous.
Beautiful images!
You settee is beautiful. I wish it was going into my home!

Hi Marian – The shop looks so good. I'm not surprised that the settee sold so quickly…it was beautiful!

I finally made it to Chartreuse on Friday…one word…AMAZING!! I was standing right there when two ladies carried your settee out of the store…sigh. It was gorgeous and as soon as I saw it, I knew it must be yours! I had my 3 year old AND my 8 month old with me though so my stay was very short lived. I'm going to go again next month when my husband isn't working so he can stay with the kids. I need to go back ~ I'm dying to find a cool Frenchy style shelving/storage piece for my craft room!
Have a wonderful Sunday,
Kathleen
Just Beautiful- I love the creamy white ornate bulbs. The open House looks like the perfect way to spend a day shopping
I still have a hard time putting my restyles up for sale, so I completely understand.. sniff..
I just love the color palette in the shops!
Raleigh, NC? My neck of the woods? If you are in town for awhile you need to check out Clines in Mt. Pleasant. He will be open on Friday at 8am with a bunch of new stuff he said. I just may hit it up myself.
