Next week, we're exchanging our bonjours and ballet flats for howdys and cowboy boots. Yes, we are packing up a giant truck and bringing our Huff Harrington goodies and one-of-a-kinds to Round Top, Texas for six fun days of selling at the famous Marburger Farm at the Round Top Antiques Fair. Are you a Round Top newbie? That's fine - because we are too. We first heard … [Read more...]
Who wants to come to Paris?
It’s fair to say that we love every part of our job. But if there’s one thing that gets the heart racing a little faster than anything else, it’s our buying trips to France! There’s something about wandering the stalls of our various markets, eyes peeled for that diamond in the rough that will shine in our store or in our clients’ homes. There’s the surge of adrenaline … [Read more...]
Before and After

Adopting a Provence Pet Project
Some of us can’t walk by a needy pet in the window of a pet store without immediately bringing it home to feed it, nurse it, love it and adopt it as the newest member of our little family. And some of us can’t walk by a needy, crumbling, 17th century house in the south of France, without thinking of ways to feed it, fix it, water it and adopt it … as the newest member of our … [Read more...]
How To: Pretty Up Your Porch
Late spring in Atlanta is just about the prettiest time of year anywhere. Everything is blooming like crazy, the air is balmy (without the blast of humidity that's right around the corner) and toute le monde heads outside. Restaurants with outdoor seating are packed and best of all, porches, patios and loggias get dusted off and put back into action. And here - with a little … [Read more...]
Paris: We Came, We Saw…and We Shopped.
Ohhh la la…we’re just back from our Huff Harrington Paris buying trip and our heads are spinning with Louis, Louis and more Louis.

Begging for Biot
The best thing about our business is, and always will be, the people we work with. We’re a funny little eclectic family who love what we do, get along great, and each bring a different je-ne-sais-quoi to the mix. Not a day goes by that we don’t thank our lucky stars for this darling group of people who support us, engage us, enlighten us, sometimes boss us, and always seem to … [Read more...]
Just Back from Paris….
We’ve been in Paris all week doing what we do best: scouting new trends, finding new product and shopping till we drop. (We were the lucky ones who completely missed the awful snowstorm that hit - and paralyzed - Atlanta. At about 7 p.m. Paris time Tuesday night, we told our dedicated Huffingtons to close up and head home and they did, although it took some of them hours and … [Read more...]
