We're in full holiday mode here at the store and believe it or not, we've been decking our halls since the end of October when we geared up for the giving season. It's always so fun to get the store ready for our holiday shoppers. We stick to a silver, gold and white theme with little splashes of Tiffany blue, green or even pink and our talented buyers and merchandisers … [Read more...]
Not Your Grandma’s Brown
I attended a fun wedding last week and reconnected with some friends we haven’t seen in a while, whose children, like ours, are in their twenties. Many of them knew about our Home store and mused that we go to France all the time to buy “one of a kinds” adding that they wished their children had an appreciation for beautiful, classic furniture. “They think our furniture is … [Read more...]
Home for the Holidays at the AH & L Showhouse
One of our favorite annual events this time of year is Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles' Christmas showhouse, Home for the Holidays. It's alway a fantastic showcase for Southeastern design talent and every room is a feast for the eyes. This year's house runs through December 9th and we're praying we get an hour's reprieve from the retail madness at Huff Harrington to pop by and … [Read more...]
Introducing Ignat Ignatov
We are overjoyed to introduce a remarkable new artist to the gallery: Ignat Ignatov. We first came across his work via an email to the gallery which prompted a late night flurry of activity between the four of us, each raving about the work, loving his back story and wanting to be the first to contact the artist. Linda won the honors, and within 24 hours, they were best … [Read more...]
Pretty as a Vintage Portrait
There's no denying it: we have a soft spot for vintage portraits. And the older and crustier, the better. We love the direct gazes, the shy smiles and even the uptight glances and uber-formal postures of old portraits and their subjects. Portraits capture a real person in a specific moment in time and it's fun to figure out the clues to an era: is that a hoop skirt? … [Read more...]
A Slice of Heaven is for Sale
Have you ever dreamed of owning a slice of heaven in Paris? I did! And if you've been following us for a while, you may remember this historic first renovation in Paris, several years ago. It came after a long and exhaustive search which we shared with you on the Artful Lifestyle, and you witnessed the roller coaster ride of making offers to apartments from across the … [Read more...]
House Beautiful creates its Whole Home project – right in our neighborhood!
A couple months ago, a lovely little project fell happily into our laps. It all began with a text from Michael Ladisic, a well-known custom home builder in Atlanta, asking us if we could pop by a house he was working on. They were getting ready for a photo shoot and might need a piece of art or two for House Beautiful's Whole Home Project. So, we dropped what we were doing … [Read more...]
Huff Harrington Trips to France
In 2009, when the world was upside down and people were barely buying art or home furnishings, against everyone’s recommendation and probably our better judgment, we decided to embark on a new adventure and offer trips to France! Why not, we thought? People are still traveling and we go to France anyway several times a year. It'll be just like our own trips with seven or … [Read more...]
Kelli Kaufman Solo at Huff Harrington
A new body of work that captures the beauty and magic of the Louisiana wetlands is headed to Huff Harrington Fine Art this Friday, October 19th from 6 to 8 p.m., thanks to artist and Louisiana native, Kelli Kaufman. We've worked with Kelli for a few years now and we quickly saw a trend: the minute we'd get new work from her, it would fly out the door, leaving us with no … [Read more...]
Take the Huff Harrington Tour
Do you remember the first time someone (probably a teenager) showed you Google Earth? How fun was that! The idea that you could see it from above and then zoom in at street level was utterly mind boggling! Did you spend hours looking at your house from above, taking in the neighbors’ yards, and possibly stalking some real estate listings? I know some of us did! And so that … [Read more...]
