It has been a BUSY day! We have gotten so much great stuff done, upstairs and down! (For those of you who may not be familiar with our setup, we have our showroom downstairs and our offices upstairs. For the BIG REVEAL, we are going to have both downstairs AND upstairs on display! Guests have never been able to go upstairs at a party before, so we are working hard to get things presentable up here!)
Hot Mess upstairs...
Elizabeth and Laurel refolding fabrics like there is no tomorrow!
After lots of TLC, the fabric library is looking much better!
Katie and KC weeding out lots of old books. We found one from 2004... WOW!
Take a peek at what all has gone on downstairs! While we were rearranging furniture, we ended up needing to put some outside our back door. As luck would have it, the weather decided to change from very pretty to very nasty. So we had about 3 minutes to move LOTS of stuff inside… Thankfully, the only stuff that did get rained on was wrapped in plastic so there was no harm done. But how bout that for a quick jolt!?
Hot Mess downstairs...
Hot Mess Part 2
Part of our new built in shelving unit! We are so excited about it!
The new built-ins!! Not painted yet, but looking beautiful nonetheless
The new wall stencil behind the front desk is looking AWESOME
The Modern Room is starting to take shape. SO exciting!
There is a chance that this’ll be the last update until Tuesday… We will try to squeeze in one more but no promises!! Remeber to mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 14! THE BIG REVEAL is going to be so much fun! Food and wine by Viking Cooking School, and lots of great donations for our drawing. Thanks to Calistoga Wine and Spirits, The Everyday Gourmet, View Gallery, Fusion Coffeehouse, Kosmos and Faces for all your support! 
Hey everyone! We wanted to share our face lift progress thus far! This won’t be our prettiest blog post, but after looking at these pictures, hopefully the end result will be a real treat! We’ve got the 80′s tunes blasting, some good food downstairs, and lots of excitement! The painters are working hard downstairs as we clean out the resource library and spiff up our offices upstairs. Our faux finishers should be in tomorrow to get started on the wall behind the front desk!
Here is what the store looks like right now… It will be WAY different by next Tuesday!
One side of our front room looks like this...
...And the main wall in the front room looks like this!
Everything pushed to the middle so the painters can move around!
The middle room... So sad!
The gallery sure does look different with no art!
The bottom half our our new built-in shelves in the back. This will be the new home of extra pillows and bedding.
Katie is working hard going through the library and getting rid of old/ugly stuff.
DON’T FORGET! Everyone is invited to our grand re-opening, THE BIG REVEAL, on Tuesday 9/14 from 5 to 7! Viking Cooking School is doing the catering, and we’ll have some great door prizes from our neighboring businesses! A special thanks to Calistoga Wine and Spirits, View Gallery, The Everyday Gourmet, Faces, Kosmos and Fusion Coffeehouse for the contributions!

Ok, it is officially time to announce our big news!
Since we are nearly 5 years old, which is 50 in design years, we have decided to get a little work done… We have reached the point where we are in need of a face lift! We are going to make a few little changes around the store that are going to make a big difference! With that being said, we are going to have to “disappear” for a few days.
We will close our doors late Wednesday night, September 1 after regular store hours and won’t re-open until the morning of Tuesday, September 7. During that time we will be working hard on our update! Our doors will be locked, but you will be welcome to come peek in the windows and check on our progress! We will frequently post pictures on the blog to keep you updated!
To celebrate our new look, we will have our BIG REVEAL on Tuesday evening, September 14 from 5-7 p.m. You, your friends and your family are all invited to join us as we celebrate our new look. Bubbles and bites will be catered by our wonderful neighbor, Viking Cooking School, and we will have a couple of drawings that you won’t want to miss!
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 14 from 5-7 and be sure to bring friends! Please feel free to come in before we take our little hiatus so you will be able to fully appreciate everything once we re-open! We look forward to seeing you!
Tuesday, we gave you a little sneak peek of some of our new merchandise. Today you get to see lots more! These are just a few pictures of some of the beautiful new stuff we brought over Tuesday and yesterday. Do you see anything you absolutely love? Don’t hesitate to call the store and ask a designer to get you more details– We are here to serve you!
We are getting such a great response from all of our new Dwell bedding!
Beautiful new accessories!

Here is just a quick little sneak peek at the showroom update that went on today! Tomorrow, once everything is finished, we will post more pictures of all the new stuff. Stay tuned!
OLY lamps, Bungalow 5 Polo Chest, Mitchell Gold Nikki Chair and Shine prints make this space so pretty!
Our new Dwell bedding has finally arrived! We are so excited about it, we can hardly contain ourselves! Check out a few of their many patterns here:
This is the new peacock pattern we have been hearing so much about!
The oh-so-popular peacock pattern in a more subtle colorway.
This great graphic also comes in black and white.
This pattern also comes in charcoal and white.
We have this duvet cover on the showroom floor for you to see for yourself!
This taupe trellis pattern is so handsome in person.
Check out our new Vanguard Hastings bed with some of the new bedding! Katie and Marty did such a great job of getting the bed together. And accessorizing was part of initiation for our new designer, Elizabeth! Good job, everybody!!
Katie and Marty making sure the duvet cover is JUST right!
Katie and Marty working diligently.
Such team work!
The finished product. Gorgeous!
We were recently asked by VIP Jackson for a room to photograph for an upcoming issue. Since one of the teen rooms we recently did turned out SO well, we decided to use that one! Here is a little behind-the-scenes sneak peek of the shoot:
Katie is showing off her flower arranging skills. Flowers always make a room photograph better!
Here is Laurel, preparing one of our props: A bowl of popcorn! We put cute Izze drinks out, too, so it looks like a party!
Allison Mazurak (photographer) and Erin Cogswell (VIP Editor) watch as Katie does a little rearranging
Allison working her magic!
The colors in the room turned out so pretty!
We absolutely loved how the window seat turned out. The button braid detail on the drapery is the best part!
CHEERS! That's a wrap!
