I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be doing a One Kings Lane Tastemaker Tag Sale the week of August 18th!  One Kings Lane is online marketplace that launches daily sales (most lasting only 72 hours) where designer & luxury items are sold at deeply discounted prices (up to 70%!!)   To shop, you actually have to sign up and become a member.  In doing my own house (and clients’ homes) I’ve found some amazing deals on really unique things that I couldn’t have found elsewhere.  Their Tastemaker Tag Sales consist of selling designers’ personal collections of furniture, art, acessories, etc.  for the 72 hour period.  Like many designers, I have amassed a collection of things that I love and need to part with.  Whenever I come across something I love for a great price, I buy it.  Many of the things I buy get placed in clients homes, are used for photoshoots, in my own home, or in showhouses…

But nevertheless, with our recent move, it’s time to have a bit of a moving sale & say goodbye to some of my loves.  (And I’m parting with many of them at rock bottom prices to make room in our storage unit. 😉 In the room above from the DC Design house, we’re selling two of my Madhatter Chairs (I designed these wing chairs from an old Victorian chair I found and changed the lines of… I’m also parting with the antique model chair itself) which both have a Jasper floral on their backs (Retails at over $200/ yard) … pillows, curtains, accessories, and the gorgeous vintage Moroccan lantern that hangs in front of the window.

I have photoshoot props, like these amber glasses…

…and these massive glass vessels…

 

Much of what we’re parting with used to live with us in our last home…
Remember the Albrecht Durer wall mural we hung in our dining room? (below)
We carefully removed it & attached it to fresh wax paper before moving, hoping we could find a spot for it in our new home, but we don’t have the room.  I get emails about this piece at least monthly so I’m hoping it will find a good home with one of you.
We’re also parting with my comfy living room chairs, whose fabric I had upholstered on the reverse for a soft, relaxed feel:
I’m also saying goodbye to the antique gilded chair with the bird’s feet (on the left of the pic above) upholstered in green velvet along with many of our accessories and art work.  It’s bittersweet.
I have lots of botanicals…
{Crystal chandelier too!}
…furniture….
…mirrors…

 

{okay I’ll be honest, this one’s still a ‘maybe’…  I’m looking for a place for it 😉 😉  The gorgeous pillow on the bed is for sale. It’s practically brand-new as I pretty much only ended up using it for photos because I was afraid the babies would ruin it.  I “stored” it for when they were older, but we keep having more babies haha)
Our beloved vintage kitchen table and chalkboard will be included in the sale…

 

…Along with the white ware & ironstone that I don’t have room for…

 

 

I have tables, birds, urns and lamps…
…And of course, more botanicals…
This week, we’re busy having pillows sewn in my fabrics too!!! 🙂

 

One Kings Lane is sending a photographer to our house to shoot everything this Thursday and Friday so we are up to our eyeballs in moving furniture and cleaning, polishing & shining everything for its close-up!!  I’m honestly not sure how we’re going to get everything done in time, but I know somehow we will.  Please send good thoughts our way;  I’m pretty close to being overwhelmed right now.

One last thing I want to mention: If you refer a friend to One Kings Lane, you get a $15 credit towards your next purchase and they get a $15 credit towards that same purchase. (!!!)  If you follow this link and join One Kings Lane, and eventually make a purchase,  would both get credits towards our next OKL purchases. (!! SO sign up so I can feed my addiction shop!! 😉   Referring friends will do the same for you once you sign up.  (And I should mention that you can adjust privacy settings so you’re only being emailed when you want to be.  I have a MAJOR email problem with over 100 emails coming in a day, and One Kings Lane is not one of them.  I resisted joining for so long because of my email overload fear but now see it wasn’t an issue.)

I’ll keep you posted and will be sure to share a behind-the-scenes peek at the photoshoot this week.  I’m actually off right now to another photoshoot at our clients’ home!! Have a good one.


 
 

 


Ps- If there’s anything you see in the pics that I didn’t mention that you’re interested in, please let me know.  Thanks!!
