We are going to Lucketts!!! {2013 Lucketts Design House}

Yes, that’s right !!! . . . .

lucketts-spring-market-2014_v2

~ ~ We (Kim and I) are going to Lucketts….can’t wait!!!

Looking forward to the many wonderful things they offer . . .

~ ~ and this year, my friend Kristen will be there selling her beautiful things.

I have never done this before, but I am going to re-post the beautiful rooms . .

~ ~ of the 2013 Lucketts Design House . . . I cannot wait to see the Design House this year!

For those who have not seen last year’s Design House . . you are in for a treat!!

And for those of you who know me well…

~ ~ you can probably guess that one of the highlights of the Market is…

~ ~ ~ ~ THE DESIGN HOUSE!!! . . . It is gorgeous!

A great group of talented people have decorated the Design House impeccably.

So armed with my “point and shoot camera” . . I proceeded to tour this fabulous house.

When I approached the front porch, you see this:

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!!..

And hope to attend next year!

AND I AM !!!! 🙂

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

Have a wonderful day!!!

    Hey, it looks like the designers could have used some of my muslin! My somewhat minimalist self is overwhelmed by all the “stuff” in the house, pretty though it is. Have fun on your next adventure.

    I have to agree with the post by another Linda. There are a lot of beautiful items in this show house but it’s way to cluttered for my taste. I hope that you and Kim have a wonderful time and I am looking forward to seeing the treasures you find. Safe travels.

    Yeah! I will enjoy “seeing” Luckett’s vicariously through your camera lens! I will probably never get to go so you will be doing a “public service” by sharing your experience with us on your blog. Thanks!
