SUMMER HEAT

IT SEEMS THE HOT TEMPS ARE NOT JUST IN THE LOWCOUNTRY THESE DAYS...EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 100-DEGREE WEATHER! WELL WE'RE NOT GETTING BEAT BY THE SUMMER HEAT! FUN AND EXCITING THINGS ARE STILL HAPPENING IN THE UPPER KING NEIGHBORHOOD; LIKE SEVERAL NEW RESTAURANTS OPENING ALL AROUND US! SPEAKING OF FOOD, THOSE COOL FOOD TRUCKS ARE INCHING THEIR WAY CLOSER TO KING STREET - HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED THEIR DELICIOUSNESS SERVED UP IN THE MORRIS STREET PARKING LOT ACROSS FROM DAVE'S?! A BIRDY MAY HAVE BEEN CHIRPING ABOUT SOME COOL NEW SHOPS OPENING, TOO! WE SHALL SEE...

FREIDA, JOE, & CHRIS JUST GOT BACK FROM ATLANTA MARKET, AND AS USUAL, THEY BOUGHT SOME REALLY NEAT STUFF! SOME OF IT IS ALREADY STARTING TO ARRIVE :)

TAKE A PEAK AT WHAT IT'S BEEN LOOKING LIKE HERE IN THE STORE...

GO RETRO?

    
            

How Big Is Your LOVE?!

Red and Pink...Hearts and Kisses...Red and Pink...Hearts and Kisses...Red and Pink...

Still trying to find the perfect expression of your deep, undying love? Just want to creatively divulge those gushy, mushy feelings? Forgot all about the big "V" Day last year and need this years gift to outshine even the most enormous box of Godivas? 

 When Cupid has you cornered, we have your back!

Check out these cool pieces handcrafted entirely from salvaged wood. The quotes are timeless, and just think... You can lay all of those complicated emotions on the table without even saying a word!

And this word never gets old. Especially with a little Philly inspiration!

Then of course, there is the option of expressing love to infinity with a gift certificate ;)

XOXO

A Holiday Special!

It's DECEMBER 1st!

Wow, how time flies! As Al so cleverly just stated, "We are in the first day of the last month of the end of a decade!" Geeez!

It's hard to believe another whole month has escaped the blogosphere! Apologies indeed. The holiday season is upon us, and the elves have been hard at work getting all of the fun new goods onto display! Cinnamon and pine linger in the air and that gentle white light glow is peeking up from the most unexpected places!

The crazy Charleston weather has even teamed up with Winter - Brrr! It's cold out there! - and those temps are expected to get even lower as the week moves along! What a perfect excuse to come in and curl up on one of our comfy sofas...of course you will fall in love and have to take it home! 

 

While you're here, be sure to ask for some holiday parking passes so that you can continue your downtown holiday shopping without worrying about those feisty meter officers - this is no time for parking tickets! The passes are courtesy of the city and give you two free hours of parking - anywhere! Don't forget to park in our customer parking lot off of Reid Street when you are shopping with us though ;) 

And one more thing... Watch out for Buster - he likes those shiny things on a string! 

BAD dog!!!

THE TRANSFORMATION!

We're still busy as bees around here, and here are some updates on what we've been doing!

If you have ever come through our side door, you know how it unfortunately became the catch-all. Everything from UPS deliveries, to random sale items, to mismatched outdoor pieces were strewn about the awkward entryway. And who could forget the awful white peg board?! The crime scene was growing more and more gory, so we said, "ENOUGH!" ...and an amazing transformation got under way! This fairytale fix was led by our design team, and the hard labor seemed effortless as our warehouse team downed that old peg board and swiftly filled the space with gorgeous furniture fit for Cinderella herself! Here's a look at the process, but to really appreciate this makeover...you must come in and see for yourself!

Now let's talk about the patio room! If you've taken a walk down King Street in the last week, perhaps you took a peek at the new vibe we've been creating in this outdoor haven. Burlap is the main ingredient and hanging white lanterns are the icing... and of course, TEAK is the main character! The  textural ambience and comforting warmth really make this room one of our new favorite spots to hang!

Last, but certainly not least, is the NEW ROOM we BUILT on our third floor! We really do have a crew of all trades around here...and once we get an idea in our heads, there is really no stopping us! This room only took our warehouse team a few days to construct and complete - they threw up drywall and broke out the paint brushes like total pros! New outdoor pieces and Debby's Chicago Market-inspired visions brought the newly redone square footage to life...come in and take an elevator trip to this peaceful outdoor oasis!

MARKETS, PRE-MARKETS, AND SALES...OH MY!!

Hello everyone! So sorry for being MIA on the blogosphere - We've been busy around here! 

The buying crew has been checking out all of Fall's hot designs at pre-markets, and the bounty is rolling in on trucks left and right! Debby made Morris Sokol's first appearance at the Outdoor Market in Chicago, and came home to the Lowcountry with lots of fresh inspirations. The floor is shifting and changing by the minute...in fact, you may not recognize the place once we've finished!

  

We've also been making some pretty noticeable additions and  even performing a few  simple "facelifts" all over the showroom... check out the new glow in the front window!

Our Colors of Summer campaign wrapped up in September, and the winner was announced a few weeks ago... we can't wait to see what they choose! Keep your eyes open for more exciting offers and new campaigns. You will also be seeing Morris Sokol delivering a presence in the previously uncharted waters of skirt! and appearing in Style & Design as well as Home & Design.

Sales have been popping up faster than the weeds! In case you missed it, the HUGE sale event put on by Lux Arts Sales and held in the old Meddin warehouse building across from us was very well received.

We had 2,700 sq. ft. of floor space filled with discounted merchandise. Our accomplices in the sale included GDC,  ESD, Circa Lighting, Lulan, and more!


October is here! Which means two things; Halloween is heading right at us and it's Breast Cancer Awareness month! Fantastic job to the shops on King who have adorned their windows with clever signs of pink appreciation!

We unveiled our pink doors and window boxes to all (Morris, the dog helped), thanks to our very talented artist in residence, Chris!

Stay tuned for more updates and inside peeks at what's happening with the store transformation.
We won't leave you in the cold...promise!
