Lucketts 2013 Spring Market Design House Tour

On my previous post about the Lucketts Spring Market…

…..I stated that other than the wonderful antiquing, I so enjoyed meeting fellow bloggers…socializing.

But for those of you who know me well…

….. you can probably guess that one of the highlights of the Market was…

…………….THE DESIGN HOUSE!!!

It is gorgeous…such a great group of talented people have decorated the Design House impeccably.

So armed with my “point and shoot” camera (did not bring the heavy DSLR with me) and proceeded to “the house”.

When I approached the front porch, you see this:

DSC00095

It says Welcome!

Can you see that gorgeous door against the wall?…

And on the other side of the front porch..you see this:

DSC00096

This area just makes you want to sit and have a glass of Sweet Tea!

DSC00097

I love the colors of this living room…

DSC00098

Each room was unique..Great numbered and lettered chests..

DSC00100

The Design House, as you can imagine was a bit crowded, so I took pictures quickly…

DSC00101

The dining room was located just off the foyer…beautiful!

…..and if you noticed, the same carpet that was on the porch is in the dining room.

DSC00104

DSC00108

As for many of the pieces in the house, this pretty chest was sold…

DSC00114

I thought that this bed in the alcove was so creatively done with the branches and bird cages hanging above…

DSC00120

DSC00116

DSC00119

So many great accessories displayed beautifully for sale in the house..

DSC00117

DSC00118

This chest is so wonderful and I know that many of you talented people out there could easily duplicate it!!

DSC00115

There were so many nooks and crannies filled with unique accessories.

DSC00126

One of the beautifully appointed bedrooms…

…..such creative furniture placement in this room.

DSC00127

DSC00128

Great “clock art”…

DSC00125

A view down the hallway of the upper floor…a pretty sitting area at the end of the hall.

DSC00121

A sitting room decorated in a garden theme…

DSC00123

DSC00122

DSC00124

DSC00131

Another stunning bedroom…

DSC00133

The furniture finishes were so fantastic…and I love how the light reflected on the ceiling.

DSC00132

DSC00129

DSC00130

DSC00110

There were four bedrooms in this house…

DSC00111

Even though I love the styling of this bed, in my mind, I was straightening the bedding and pillows!

DSC00112

DSC00109

Another cute area at the end of the hallway…

DSC00106

This chest was situated in the foyer toward the kitchen…I love that clock as it has “Charleston” on the face!

DSC00105

This room was located next to the kitchen…

DSC00102

The room appeared to be designed as a staging area/work room.

DSC00103

DSC00135

This cow head was huge!…it was located in the kitchen in which was used as a check out area…

DSC00136

As we exited the Design House, you go through an enclosed back porch area that was such a delight to see.

DSC00137

This was the other end of the porch…the weathered checkerboard floors were beautiful…

…..and it was hard not taking that dairy price sign home with me!

DSC00138

As you can see the table was sold..as so many of the items in the Design House.

…..the old restaurant sign was a real beauty!…

DSC00139

Well, it was time to leave this house….and too bad the clock was wrong, for if it was truly 10 after 10ish….

…..I would have gone out the door and back through the front to tour the house again.

Unfortunately, it was time to leave and begin our long drive home…

I am so glad that I was able to attend the Lucketts Spring Market, even though for just a few short hours…

…..for it was totally worth it!!..

Next year…I will be there for the entire two days!!!

Hope you enjoyed the Design House as much as I did!

Have a wonderful day!!!

    I kept saying to myself, “oh, this is my favorite room” then I would see my NEXT favorite room, so I really can’t choose a favorite. I love all the accessories!!!! I would have had a HARD time not buying ALOT of stuff!!! Especially the garden themed things. Love that “tree” that looks like roots at the bottom. The bedroom with the branches and birdcages was fabulous. Thanks for this wonderful tour. XO, pinky

    Shirley, can I just say WOW!!! That door on the porch is stunning, I would love that for my new house. The dining room is gorgeous with that rug. When I saw the bedroom, my jaw dropped from that bed and the chandelier. This was FANTASTIC tour to take us on. Loved it!!

    Thanks for bringing a little bit of Luckett’s to those of us that live too far away to attend…love the french postmark chest and I agree with you that it’s a piece that is sure to get duplicated in blogland…I also love the dairy sign – I think that’s on my list to recreate as is the restaurant cabinet…Thanks so much for the inspiration!

    OMG! Lucky you to get to go to that in person. I’ve only ever been able to see it online and didn’t get a full feel for it like your pictures convey. What a great place to shop! I saw quite a few things that sparked my interest. The light fixtures alone were fantastic! I love unique lighting.

    I would have been corralling people and herding them out of MY HOUSE!!! Man, this is cool! Everything in it is cool!!! Those bedrooms!!! That dining room! All those cool chests, clocks and lighting fixtures!!!!!!! I don’t think you could have pulled me out of there with the jaws of life! So many terrific details throughout! Sigh….I wish!

    I’m sorry you had to leave in such a hurry, but glad you at least got to see it up close and in person. I’m sure it was a rush!

    Wasn’t that design house amazing?! I’m attempting to restage my house and it falls FLAT in comparison! I’ll be furiously looking through the photos to capture the warmth it had.

    Lovely shoot, Shirley! And I agree, that market is definitely a two day venture.

    Never knew I needed a giant cow head until now – but I do! Lucky you – wish I could have been there – but just as well since I probably would have tried to buy everything in the place – with nowhere to put it once I got home!

    What a treasure filled house! Thanks for taking us on the tour, that must have been so much fun. All of the unique chandys really caught my attention and the dish filled hutch on the front porch was delightful. I’m with you, love that Charleston clock!

    Wow! Luckett’s looks like too much temptation/fun! I finally saw one other person asking where it is located and I also have no clue unless in High Point or nearby. Shirley, please share the info and if it is open to the trade only or not.

    Thanks,
    Helen
