Hi there! Phew….. what a week. I must say it was a lot of fun pushing the publish button on my new store. It was a little impulsive as originally we were thinking in a few weeks, then I figured its basically done, so what the heck…why not! I then debated about doing this on a Saturday vs. a weekday but again threw caution to the wind and announced its opening. Well, I cannot tell you how overwhelmed I was by everyone’s kindness, generous words and support. I got quite a few sales…honestly it was somewhat unexpected but very exhilarating! So….thank you to each and every one of you.
I can be impulsive with things but I was so eager to share my favorite things and I figured this was a great way to get myself back into the design world and I get great joy in helping others make their home pretty! So…..I take it one day at a time, I know there will be glitches, and hiccups as I like to call them (part of the journey) and hope you will bear with me and be patient, I promise I am working hard to make things perfect!
I was also so pleased and truly touched when I saw a few of my blogging friends gave me “shout outs” (this would make my son cringe just my using this very word) but it warmed my heart to see that they spoke about my new store and I want to say thank you to this truly extraordinary, incredibly generous wonderful group of women who I call friends, each and every one of them…so thank you ladies!! (Please stop by to say hello to them if you have a minute)
Part of my mission in opening this store is to show people that you don’t always needs an entire new room of furniture to transform your home. I am a big believer in the power of accessories and creating beautiful little vignettes all over your home to create pockets of beauty and luxury. It is amazing the transformative qualities that they have over us.
Life in general today is so fast paced, hectic and stressful that walking into a beautiful home, big or small at the end of a day is the icing on the cake. Whether its lighting a candle, or being greeted by a gorgeous orchid planted in a beautiful pot, stepping into your bathroom and seeing all your pretty little things displayed on an elegant tray…… it is all these little touches that mean something. I wanted to show you a few favorite goodies about to be added to the store and how I like to use my own goodies here at home.
Hope you will stop by and take a peek, and thank you everyone for your unbelievably kind words and wonderful encouragement.Click here to visit the store. I am having fun being busy busy busy but Its all good……..
Don’t think I need to tell you how much I love porcelain and especially blue and white but this red (very Herend-ish) looking planter has me seeing red!
I looooooove blue and white planters/footbath, fill one of these babies with a beautiful orchid or a big pot of hydrangeas..and bam its instant elegance added to any setting!
I cannot tell you how much I love my silver……….
And some more fabulous needlepoint pillows which everyone seems to love….
And how I like to use some of these things in my own home……and to show that I practice what I preach!
How about a pretty white azaela tree in blue and white!
Orchids and blue and white are a perfect pair!
Love small rolled guest towels placed in a pretty little planter for a guest bath
And pretty little hand soaps placed in a beautiful crystal dish
And why not place your kitchen essentials on a beautiful silver tray….gives it an old world feel and I swear everything tastes better!
And…if you don’t like to cook, when things look pretty you might be more inclined to give it a go!
Love orchids planted in a great big blue and white container
Even like putting tea bags in a pretty little dish…..
Pretty lemon leaf topiary…..
Another orchid in a pretty blue and white planter
Love my bath lotions and powders on a elegant silver tray…makes everything look prettier!
In my bathroom love having my monogrammed towels rolled and placed in this gorgeous silver planter…
So how do you like to use your favorite objects? Like what you see? Stop by and visit me at The Enchanted Home shop….click here! Have a wonderful day!

Will you carry that crystal dolphin bowl? It is so beautiful. I love the new additions too. Oh oh that means more shopping.

So happy for you Tina- your shop is a perfect reflection of your elegant style! I am in absolute agreement that the details really are everything- adore the look of orchids in those beautiful blue/white containers…and bar bottles on a silver tray…have done the same in my house- LOVE the look!!
Sorry I missed your store anouncement, I was away for a few days. Congratulations!!! This looks wonderful, your energy is contagious and you have put together a fantastic selection of goodies. I wish you much fund and every success, you are such a great communicator that I know it will go well. Sharon x
As much as I absolutely love blue-and-white pieces I find those silver trays stunning! Tina, are you just selling online for the moment? Any plans to open a store in NY?

I love the silver items I saw as well as all of the pillows, etc…Best of luck to you! I will keep stopping by to see what goodies you have in store for us! Hope you are doing well! Carolyn Bradford
Oh yeah!!! I love all the ways you use your pretty things for everyday uses. It brings it up a notch, and it is sooo easy to get this look!! Why doesn’t everyone put their pedestrian utilitarian items in pretty cache pots or on silver trays?? Its lovely. I love your store, and those new pillows with the soft blue are sooo pretty Tina!
Tina, once again congratulations. Your store is wonderful and full of gorgeous items. I could not agree with you more, it is the little details that make a house feel like a home. I always love a beautiful container and you certainly offer lots of these. I wish you lots of success.
I love seeing your items again here Tina. Everythiing is so beautiful, but I especially love your collection of silver, and I really think your prices are so reasonable. I think your store is going to do great! Stacy
Absolutely love the silver trays with the kitchen and bath essentials! Love the teabags in the blue and white porcelain too! It’s all very lovely! I’m so happy for you and your store beginning success!
Using beautiful pieces, like these, make for a beautiful home. Storing every day items in special ways, whether it’s cotton balls or tea bags, makes me smile, every time I use them!
I’m hoping to get back to the shop, when I have some down time tomorrow. Best to you, Tina!
Congratulations on your new shop! Such beautiful things here. I love the silver trays used throughout your home and the blue and white. One of my faves too. Wishing you much success!
Hi dear Tina, I visited your enchanted home shop and congratulations, you did such a great job! What a stylish and elegant shop! I really like it, especially all the special pillows! I also love the photos from your home today!
You have done such a fabulous job with the entire enterprise Tina, the things you have selected for inclusion in the store are just beautiful. And like you, I believe that sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest differences in a room! Off to peek at the store again!
Tina, I’m so happy for you and for the wonderful response your store has received. I will be shopping soon. I’ve seen several items I want, just have to pace myself (not easy). 🙂 Karen
Congratulations Tina, on your new store opening! Your inventory looks like what you have in your home and is just beautiful. I love how you display the store items throughout your home. Smart to show how it can be used and how it looks in the home. Great accomplishment, not to mention you did this in the middle of a huge move and after building a gorgeous home! Happy Spring Tina.
I literally love every single thing! I cannot wait to get my pillows. These are also so beautiful and I love the creative way you have taken certain objects and used them in such unique ways. The silver is the next on my list!
i so agree about the silver tray! i’m thrilled your shop is off to a brilliant start as i knew it would be. sending positive energy your way as you step into this new role!
Tina poo…I am just so proud of you and know you will be amazingly successful with this venture. Such beautiful things at wonderful prices. I’ve collected all my life, and now I know I purchased things which can be resold if I ever need to condense down. Makes me happy. xx’s
You definitely have the finesse in putting things together in a beautiful way. Who knew a tray of olive oil and spices could look so elegant! I have visited your lovely store (which is so beautifully designed) and drooled over all the goods. We are in transit now, moving in May but rest assured I will be back once we are setteld to go on a shopping spree. I did tell my sister about it though and she bought a dough bowl and a silver tray. Keep up the great work that you are doing. I love your blog and now your store too.
Absolutely adore a silver tray with pretty bottles and treasures…and an unexpected inspiration for using one on the kitchen counter for oils and such- I like it!
When something’s feels right and the right time to do it then pushing the button to launch was what was best for you and all of us since you have some beautiful things to share!I wish you the very best Tina.
This is SOOOO exciting…congratulations!!! I adore those needlepoint pillows, the silver and the b&w…there is a blog post in the works. Your kitchen is breathtaking…I also keep my oil and vinegar on silver! xx
Wow this is incredible. I love all your elegant ideas, and love that you can transform spaces with small things like you suggested. Your plants potted in the blue and white planters are so gorgeous. I am sure your store will be a huge hit, your taste level and offering the things at such great prices is a winning combination. So glad you “just went for it”. Something to be said for just going for your dreams!
Tina, Congratulations on your new shop! After I write this I’m heading right over!!!! Your style is just perfection. I love all your beautiful touches and upscale traditional details. Thanks for all your great ideas! I wish you so so much success… I’m sure everyone will love it! xo Yvonnne
So many lovely items! You just made me have an “Aha Moment.” I never thought to use silver pieces in the bathroom, but I’m loving that look. Duh… Thanks 🙂
A good eye for design and items encourages others hunt and gather elements needed to complete their space and make it a special home…their own. Lovely!
I’ll take one of everything! Love the blue and white pots and the silver tray of olive oil? I never would have thought of that and it looked so elegant and posh… and the tea bags? Oh my, I love the little touches that make you peek inside. I do wish I had more of the interior decorating gene. I guess mine is only for baking and cookies.
BTW, your comment made me laugh out loud! So sweet! 🙂
Good morning gorgeous! Well, there is a special feeling when we finally make up our minds about GOING FOR IT and putting ourselves out there. I too have decided, thanks to a BLOGGER PAL, that I am a designer. I have declared it. We must assume the role and move on. You have done so much this year dearest, and I am so proud of ALL OF YOU WOMEN that have decided that we are going to shape our lives. LOVELY MY FRIEND! Anita

My favorite room is your breakfast room! Thanks for sharing your life with us all.

Much like you, I use all my pretty things! No sense having something if you can not use it. I love using trays and pots for organizing smaller items.
I keep meaning to stop by and tell you how fabulous the store is. I’ll have one of each pillow, please and thank you!
