New Fall Look

With the change of a season we try to do some major revamping here to make things look and feel appropriate for the coming season and holidays. With fall here the staff and vendors at the Old House have done some revamping and reorganizing. If you are looking to decorate for the season come on down and check out what idea's and items we have to help you out. Painting windows is a great way to create your own custom decoration for any season. Paint a pumpkin, spooky cat, or a creepy night scene on one for Halloween. See the image above for an example.

We've been going for the more open approach to how we are organizing things on the main floor right now.

It's brought a nice feel to the place. Of course you still will have to hunt around to find the goodies. We like to use the colour and arrangement of the vignettes to bring a feel to the House. So we have started using the darker colours and setting up the dinning room tables to bring the feel of the holidays into the air.

Fall also means back to school of course. Kids are now back in school they've got most of their school supplies classes are getting into the thick of it.

If you are a college or university student trying to set up a new living space and need a few things come down and check out what we have. You may not think of an antique store as a place to find your furniture but we have some great old pieces and we like to keep our prices affordable for everyone. Not only does the older furniture have more character but it is sturdier and will last you longer then just your time at school. It will be a piece you can take with you into your first house and your last house. Something you can sit around the fireplace and tell your grand kids about.

Not only have we been having fun down here on the main floor but upstairs the vendors have been having some fun too. There is a new vendor on the second floor with some awesome stuff she has now set up her space and got most of her stuff in. The space is lookin great with a bit of a retro vibe.

We had another existing vendor do a major revamp of her space with a new cupboard and lighting set up that looks great.

Of course as soon as we take these pictures the scene tends to change so come down and check out what's new for yourself.

Last but not least I always like to have a piece of lighting in here as it is our specialty and I love it. This weeks piece is a combo light and stained glass made by our own Dick Turnbull. It's a wonderful piece and the hours of work he poured into really shine in it's exquisite nature.

It's a great way to enjoy stained glass without having to have sun shining through it. The design is just wonderful and the colour pallet is awesome. This light would go great in a foyer or front hall, living room or dinning room. Pretty much anywhere everyone will see it.
