Late on a warm Sunday afternoon. Golden light fading, rusty leaves hanging from the trees. Meet a best friend. Head over to a favorite shop. A Holiday OPEN HOUSE was in full swing, mix of soft jazz and Christmas music. The first of several gatherings I plan to attend as the holiday season begins.
I love the offerings at Revival.............antique and vintage furniture, restored, re-purposed, recycled, refinished or repainted (don't you love all those re-words), and turned into stunning pieces, often at affordable prices. One can visit the warehouse where furniture is stacked to the ceiling, awaiting some TLC.
Furniture seen earlier this year at Revival shop and warehouse.
The accessories here are awesome. Some are old and one of a kind, others handcrafted more recently.
This buffet from the 1920's was really beautiful.
The back drop behind the coffee station was a vintage hand-painted velvet panel - a country snow scene with a border of holly leaves and berries, absolutely stunning.
Tonight I'm off to historic downtown Hillsborough, NC where their Ooh La La - Ladies Night Out will kick off the holiday season with an evening of fun and friends. Perhaps I'll start to get some Christmas spirit - time is getting short.

Wasn't this Open House amazing? I loved all their displays and furniture, the music was pleasant, your companion - PRICELESS!! I really had a great time with you dear! Can't wait til tomorrow! Love, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteLoved the buffet and the wall hanging. I went to downtown with my daughter looking at Christmas decorations in the nice stores. There was music and apple cider. Now that was a good motivator. Did buy anything, came home with lots of ideas.

Yes, this sounds like a lovely Sunday afternoon - I just love antiquing! One of the best open houses I ever attended was at the home of author Gene Stratton Porter. I just might have to do a post about it sometime as we head into the holiday season.

ReplyDeleteOh I am such an old furniture junkie, this is like offering me CRACK on the street. it just winds up my addiction all the more!

Happy Thanksgiving!

No Christmas spirit for me yet. I'm still enjoying our unusually warm ND fall.
ReplyDeleteAnother place for my aunt and I to visit. She was just here with me for a week, but we were unable to do any shopping this time. I can't wait to check out all of these places!
