Beautiful Decor via Barry Dixon

Internationally renowned interior designer Barry Dixon has recently come out with a collection for Arteriors that we are very excited about!

We have several pieces from this collection currently on our showroom floor, with more pieces on the way to us!

To give you a little background, here is Barry’s bio as told by Arteriors:

“Acclaimed interior designer and author Barry Dixon has clients from around the world seeking his unique approach to design, mixing Southern sensibility with a distinctly global aesthetic. A childhood spent abroad and frequent international travels as an adult have cultivated his love of geographically and culturally diverse items. Dixon’s design projects are filled with one-of-a-kind objects that bridge the past with the present, bringing history into the future.”

Well said.

Now without any further adieu, we’d like to show you a few items from this fantastic collection!

The story behind this screen is actually Mississippi-related! Barry says, “I was able to salvage these from the belfry of a country church in the Mississippi Delta… I used them in front of a window in lieu of drapery. The screen, over 9′ tall, has the same crafted nuances as my originals.”

Isn’t the story behind these beauties just great? We love that Barry made a trip to our beloved Delta!

We also have Dixon's book for sale!

Although it’s not technically part of this collection, we also have Dixon’s book for sale!

This is just a sample of what we have/are getting. Be sure to stop in and see everything we have so far in person. Pictures do none of these pieces justice!!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year…

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year…

In the world of retail, Christmas comes early, and SummerHouse is no exception! We’ve recently put out some beautiful holiday items to make the showroom bright and festive! Vintagey jingle bells, snowy ornaments, sparkly table-sized trees… And it can all go home with you if you want it to! ;)

Stay tuned for pictures of the whole showroom in its full holiday glory. Coming soon!

Have any of you heard of Rue Magazine?  We had not until yesterday but… WOW… We were left completely speechless! Rue Magazine (www.ruemag.com) is an online magazine, very similar to our beloved LonnyMag (www.lonnymag.com).  It is paperless so it can be thumbed through with the click of a mouse, without having to take up any room on your counter! Rue is a little different from Lonny in that it seems to have more dark European insiriation mixed in.  It is all very beautiful and outside the box!  Here are a few of their many beautiful pages. What do you think?

Rue is only in its second issue, so we eagerly anticipate their coming issues!
