Wicker, rattan and bamboo

February 25, 2019 by Huff Harrington

Wicker, rattan and bamboo

One of our favorite trade shows  is the tony Maison & Objet Salon held twice a year outside of Paris.  This show is like none other.  Despite the vast space of 7 football-field sized pavilions linked together around a courtyard, and the enormous crowds of professional shoppers on a mission, there is a quiet buzz that permeates the entire area,  punctuated from time to time … [Read more...]

Not Your Grandma’s Brown

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...]

Top Ten: Our Favorites to Follow on Instagram

Whether we're waking up in Atlanta, Paris, or any other locale in between, there's one app that keeps us connected and coming back for more. Instagram and its lovely little squares have us double tapping a "like," hitting the "save" button and leaving lots of love in the comments on posts that pop up in our feed. New work from favorite artists, gorgeous design projects, and … [Read more...]

Armoire a Cadeaux

Armoire a Cadeaux

A friend of mine once told me about her mother’s "Armoire à Cadeaux."  I was surprised with the term, given that she is not French (although being from Ladue Missouri, she probably has some French running through her veins). But I loved the concept of a closet filled with gifts for the “je ne sais quoi” events that inevitably pop up during the year. At the time, we lived in … [Read more...]

Paris Perfect Sheets

Paris Perfect Sheets

We are passionate about sheets.  In fact, sheets are such a big deal that we’ll often pick a hotel based on the quality of the sheets (and it’s the first thing we talk about when we meet up in the morning).  We’re so picky about sheets that although we’ve wanted to carry some good ones in our store, we couldn’t find any that fit all of the Huff’ington criteria:  Super soft, all … [Read more...]

How to Live with Antiques

We're waiting on another container full of French goodies that should be arriving just as you're reading this.  We LOVE getting our containers and as we unload, unpack (and sweat or freeze depending on the season), it's like greeting long-lost friends.  We love seeing elegant 18th century commodes marched into the store side-by-side with our favorite crunchy "etablis" (work … [Read more...]

Living the Artful Lifestyle

A BFF, who will be moving into a new home shortly, called me over the weekend to say she'd fallen in love with a painting at the gallery, and wondered if it would work in her new place.  I responded, "If you love it, it'll work anywhere!"   I thought about sending her an interview we did several years ago for an arts publication that hammers that point in fairly strongly.  But … [Read more...]

10 Tips for a Successful Renovation

Is there a fixer-upper in your future?   If so, we wish you bonne chance and a soupçon of patience, plenty of good luck - and the golden ticket: a good contractor. We love a renovation and the extreme satisfaction of taking the before to the after.  There's simply nothing like it.  We know renovations are serious hard work - you're dealing with years of other people's taste … [Read more...]

How to style a coffee table

We're just back from a very fun and exciting installation in Paris (stay tuned for more on that soon, with photos), where we had the pleasure of designing a lovely one-bedroom apartment with a killer view of the Eiffel Tower.  We had done most of the heavy lifting in the fall - specifying the floor, hard surfaces, plumbing cabinetry and paint - so our weeklong stay was … [Read more...]
