Sunday Snow on PEI

So far this fall we've dodged the bullet until today. I woke up this morning to our first snowfall. Everything is covered in a fresh layer of snow and all of a sudden it feels more like Christmas time. So for todays post I have some images of the interior of Moving Designz Home & Cottage from last week. The shop girls, Anita and Ashley have done a fantastic job of setting up the store with beautiful holiday displays.

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind comments on our new tv ad. And yes, the voice is mine. Also as one reader pointed out, Saturday was actually Dec 05 and not Dec 07. We drew for the cover late yesterday afternoon and the winner for the Christmas cushion cover is Maria Killam of www.colourmehappyblog.blogspot.com . Congrats Maria! Maria also has a fantastic website filled with beautiful images of her design work. www.mariakillam.com




As for the progress on my house... I've got it pretty much back together. I still have a long to do list including hanging artwork but things are slowly coming together. I have the drapery panels hung up in the livingroom but not the diningroom. The drapes for the diningroom were not ready in time for this picture.





This is the lovely display as you enter the store to the right.



Ashley made this JOY plaque using individual letter we sell in the store, a large red felt snowflake, and foamcore covered in black fabric. Well done Ash!



In this area of the store we combined red and chocolate brown with the jewel tones of teal. It is very pretty.




I love this wire bowl filled with faux pomogranites. In fact I think we sold the last one on Friday.


The bed is dressing in white, pale blue and red. I never thought I would put these colours together but they actually work together when paired with the chocolate upholstered headboard.


A new addition to our artwork are these large DIY frames. They come in various sizes with either a white or black frame and white matting.

We all love these white ceramic penguins.


One of my favorite decorating ideas is placing Christmas themed vingettes in clear glass vessels. The white filler in the vase with the red cardinal is actually epsom salts.


Thanks for reading. Have a great week!

I won!! Yaay, I've never won a giveaway before :) That pillow will look just fabulous on my living room sofa because i already have white cushions (and yellow ones) and my sofa is the same colour as the tree!!

Thanks :)

Oh, lucky Maria!! Those cushions are so pretty.

Thanks for sharing pictures of the displays in your store :-) I love the penguins too :-)

We had our first stay-on-the-ground snowfall overnight and into today. I had my first spin-out driving tonight -- I hope that doesn't become a regular event this winter!!
