JUST A REMINDER!!

We hope you all come out to see the wonderful job the decorators have done to their "cottages" and especially hope to see you at our cottage!  Ann of ReArrangements has decorated it "Brocante Style" using furniture and accessories from Brocante Home, including many new items that you have not seen at the shop.  The Showcase will be open next Thursday, June 4th through Sunday, June 7th.  You can purchase tickets at Brocante Home, or at the door.  

Also, our next design class, Mastering the Mix of Vintage and New will be held at our design cottage on Friday, June 5th from 4pm-5pm.  Call for reservations.

MASTERING THE MIX


Our next design class, Mastering the Mix of Vintage and New, will be Friday, June 5th, from 4pm to 5pm at the RW-C Decorator Showcase cottage that is being decorated by Ann Carpenter of ReArrangements using furnishings and accessories found at Brocante Home.  Ann's philosphy is to use the things you already have as a basis for your new look.  By rearranging and adding a few new items, paint color and maybe rugs, you can change the entire look of your home.  We love this idea at Brocante Home since we specialize in mixing vintage furniture and accessories with new ones for our unique look.

To learn more about the Decorator Showcase, please visit our website, "www.brocante-home.com" .  We have tickets for sale at the shop or you may purchase them at the door.  

PS - If you can't make the showcase, please stop by Brocante Home on friday afternoons to meet Ann and learn about our home makeover services.
