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...]
Meet the Artist: Ellen Rolli
We recently welcomed a new artist, Ellen Rolli, to the gallery. Ellen's clean and simply composed abstracts immediately caught our eye so we wasted no time inviting her to join the family. We're so glad we did. Take a few minutes to get to know this talented artist and take a peek at her gorgeous and edgy abstracts. HHFA: Tell us a little bit about … [Read more...]
Paris in the Fall: what to pack
Is there anything more magical than Paris in the fall? We're gearing up for three trips that begin next week and we've been inundated with questions from our campers, like: "What should I pack?" "What kind of shoes should I bring?" "What kind of coat do I need?" "What do I wear every day and do I need heels for the evening?" Rest easy, trippers. We've got you covered with a … [Read more...]
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...]
France is calling! Check out our 2019 Trips.

For 2019, we’re excited to offer a selection of trips that cover everything from hardcore scouring for one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories … [Read more...]
Obsessed!
I always love Mondays. Because, for ¾ of the year (until October 1st, when the retail landscape shifts into overdrive), we all have Sunday’s off, and our loyal family of Huff’ingtons, rested and relaxed, come peeling in to work on Mondays with tales of the weekend and new discoveries made along the way. It’s a great way to kick off the week, and we’re always thankful that we … [Read more...]
Introducing artist Gail Foster
We always feel like we hit the jackpot when we find a new artist whose work we're crazy about. We have to click a couple boxes before we sign on the dotted line: we have to love the work, we have to have a good vibe with the artist - oh, and they have to like us too. Such is the case with the lovely Gail Foster, whose work we spotted at a fun artist/dinner event at Serenbe … [Read more...]
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...]
