I just love Betsy Burnham and her team at Burnham Design! Betsy's designs are so fun, unique, lovely and detailed, not a single inch of a room is overlooked. Burnham Design uses so many great prints, bold wallpapers, great color, antiques and modern pieces making each space one of a kind.

When Darryl Carter took on this Miami Condo, he took on some very special clients; his parents. The condo has gorgeous views all over and Darryl kept the home furnishings simple and classic with some antiques thrown in. (check out the antique cellar door he made into a closet door! LOVE!) Love, love this condo.... I bet his parents do too.

This weekend we are setting up shop outside and placing a canopy in front of our store. What for? For all those antique pickers in the greater Houston area. This Pickers Sale will have an assortment of worldly antiques to sort through and hopefully there's a little treasure to be found for everyone. Be like the American Pickers and find the greatest value in what was once someone elses. This vintage antique sale will be one to remember! You never know what you may find.  Your treasure awaits! 

The sale starts this Saturday through Monday (09/01/12 - 09/03/12).  Quantities very limited.

I always wonder how people use antique pieces in their home. Finally, I have found some photos on Miss Design's blog that really exemplify how one should display these antiques. It's a really great inspiration to be able to look at how someone created something that may have been useless and now it's very useful to them. Looking at the photos below, it is like playing an eye spy antique's game that is extremely entertaining.

I really like Ellen Pompeo's house! Her home (which she shares with husband, Chris Ivery) looks like such a relaxed environment that's great for having friends and family over. I love the mix of antique-y, over-sized and classic furniture. She uses lots of different prints and textures which adds some fun.

The HF team was hard at work last week merchandising a truck full of antiques.  The pieces are old.  They are heavy as hell.  And they are just divine.  Check out some of the great pics that were taken.
