Shedding some light on sheds
A shed is a small building that stands alone on a property. It is the “jack of all trades” when it comes to storage solutions. Some folks use their sheds for work, others may stock pile them with odds and ends that don’t have a home. We recently renovated the shed that came with our property and boy does it look fabulous!
Our shed was just about gone. The roof had caved in three years prior to our living here and the rain water and elements had wreaked havoc on the inside and the outside walls. We nearly lost her, but with patience and time we were able to revive a living treasure.
Outdoor accent: Stone walls
So many great things have happened this summer that I have not had much time to write for Tchochkes. But, the bright side of this is that I can share my new stone walls with you, which are a powerful addition to our yard.
Lighting: Country Gear LTD.
New “Old” style lighting by Country Gear LTD puts a nice spin on unfinished metal fixtures. The ceiling lamp featured above has “search light” qualities about it that I absolutely love. This companies line offers unique lighting options for those that want something out of the ordinary.
Home furnishing trends, can we talk?
After visiting the International Furniture Fair at the Jacob K. Javits Center a few weeks ago, I have come to some conclusions regarding the latest, greatest themes in Home Furnishings.

Colorful product by New Caribbean Design
New Caribbean Design is not just a product line but a concept. This company, which I stumbeled across at the ICFF in New York a few weeks ago, is innovative and colorful and has products that inspire. I love companies that are brave enough to utilize bright colors in a professional way.
Nature inspired lighting by Jeremy Cole
Nature, nature, nature… the most popular theme in design today. Many of the products seen on the market now are a reflection of years of concentrated work by young artists of our time. These delicate lights made of bone china are inspired by the aloe plant. Created by New Zealand born Jeremy Cole , each lamp illuminates and decorates in a fantastical way.
Colorful product from Corita Rose
Utilizing color in design can be a challenge, but Corita Rose, a young home furnishings company from England has got it down to a tee. I found this company at the ICFF, which was a real smash this time around. What caught my eye in the last row of the fair, was this brightest-of-bright couch that you see above.
