It has been 1 month since we opened our first brick and mortar location in Northport Village, NY. Hydrangea Home began 22 years ago and it has always been a dream of mine to have my own store. After 22 years of craft shows, home shows, selling in various shops on Long Island, Etsy and my own website, I finally have a physical location (no more basement!) to work, create and display. We signed the lease on 1/28/17 and opened the doors on 3/11/17. It was a crazy 6 weeks of construction, display work and creating. Everyone in the family helped out and dedicated their weekends to getting the store ready. I honestly could not have done it without their help! The support from family, friends and the Northport community has been overwhelming. We are so happy to be here.<br />
<br />
Here are a few photos of the store:<br />

We make a lot of the products in the store including florals, art, photography, and wood items. I have also found a long list of makers creating beautiful jewelry, soaps, candles, pillows and linens. So excited to support other small businesses and artisans. We added a counter with stools in the store that overlooks my workspace. Come sit, browse a decorating book or magazine and see what we are working on. One of my favorite things about having the shop is interacting with my customers. I truly enjoy the conversations! If you are local, I hope you will come see us!<br />
<br />
My son put together a short video clip showing the transformation of the store.<br />

We are in the process of renovating our living room which used to be my work studio. It's a pretty large space so I picked out quite a few pieces that I would love to see in there.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
When choosing a media console, I thought the easel was so unique and of course since I'm a painter and this room is where I used to do my work, this piece was so meaningful.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm not a rule follower when it comes to decorating. Choosing items that I love and have some meaning or usefulness for our family is what I'm thinking about when decorating. The colors and pieces in this mood board are just the perfect palette for a peaceful room to hang out in. That muted teal is one of my favorites and I love the slate blue tabletops. The room I'm planning is more of a casual family room so I picked items that weren't too formal but I think the round coffee table and end table add the perfect touch of elegance I was looking for. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was so simple to find something in every category at Arhaus. Their products are just my style! </div>

stems in alum (found in the spice aisle) before placing in water. I also
did this each time I gave them a fresh cut every few days. Works for
me!

Ready for tons of Christmas inspiration? I'm talking DIY projects, home and garden tours! This year's hottest blog party is hosted by <a href="http://hometalk.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Hometalk.com</span></a> and <a href="http://countryliving.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">Countryliving.com</span></a>. I have one room to share today. Hopefully you will get some ideas from my dining room tour which is the only room I have decorated for Christmas so far. I'm pretty busy working on orders in the studio at this time of year.<br />

The centerpiece on our farmhouse table is very natural and simple. I tied some honeysuckle vine into a wreath and placed it on an old silver platter. Tuck in some greens (I used preserved eucalyptus). I placed a burlap candle in the center and filled the space with pinecones, dried pomegranates and dried artichokes. Simple, natural and rustic. I've put together more centerpiece ideas using rustic planters and trays <a href="http://myhydrangeahome.blogspot.com/2014/11/rustic-planter-box-ideas-and-sale.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span></a>.<br />

My favorite addition to the dining room is the chair I just made over in Provence. It was a curbside find and I wanted it specifically for a vignette piece to add a pop of color to our dining room. Here I wrapped an old dictionary in "birch" wrapping paper topped with a basket of collected wine corks. Did we drink all of that wine? </div>

The corner tree is done pretty natural this year with grapevine, crystal branches and cotton stems. It's topped with a silver glittered snowflake which now has the perfect vintage patina.
Our distressed tray is ready to serve wine and a few accessories make it festive. My favorite vintage seltzer bottle gets a green velvet bow and some old silver is simply filled with some preserved greens and hydrangea.<br />

This little table is always good for a little vignette. I painted this rustic tree on some framed boards, and added some preserved greens and birch twigs to an old cast iron urn. A preserved Christmas floral adds a pop of red and another birch wrapped book adds a little height. I like to use battery tea lights around twigs and greens.<br />

One of the bedrooms is pretty small at 9' x 9 1/2'. It has always served as a home office. We had a pretty large desk/wall unit in there that 3 people could easily work at. Instead it was a dumping room with piles of books and supplies on the desk...always a mess. And where did the kids (all 4 of them) end up doing their homework? They would work on the couch, kitchen table, dining room table or their bed! Which meant more backpacks and schoolwork spread all over the house. So, I had an idea to put the small couch from the playroom in the office and relocate the desk....creating a study lounge. They love it!<br />
Come on in!<br />

Since the room is so small I will rotate the photos around the room. A lounge is not complete without a TV...only for when HW is done:) <br />

I will show you inside the closet in a minute. I think my honey did a great job on the window molding! We may get around to changing the door molding too, but the window was new so we were working from scratch. One of my favorite vintage folding chairs is a perfect extra seat. Also LOVE the color of the blinds. I will share all resources at the end of this post.<br />

We went with a rustic theme in this room. There are tons of tutorials for plank walls. We used 1/4" plywood ripped into varying widths and lengths and just nailed them up. We did paint the wall behind the planks a much darker grey so any spaces between the boards would not be so visible. I used a combination of stains and paint to achieve the weathered finish.<br />

Not enough room on either side of couch for an end table so we built a small shelf on each side made of pallet wood. <br />

I had fun with the gallery wall. A combination of favorite vacation photos, and inspirational words (it is a "study" lounge). But I also wanted it to be a room the kids could relax in. What's nice about it is that they can come up here, close the door and get their work done without being in the middle of the house during dinner prep and all the rest of the chaos going on downstairs. And for the ones working late at night, we can go to bed and feel better about the kids being upstairs while they finish up their work. <br />

It took a while but we found the perfect picture for over the couch. There was a fine art photographer next to me at a recent art show I participated in. We had a view of this photo the entire weekend and couldn't stop looking at it. The one we saw was about 4ft x 4ft and $3600. We were happy to find a much smaller print of this peaceful shot of a crab farmer in China. My husband made the perfect frame for it and I think it helps to give that relaxed feeling in the study lounge.<br />

I still felt it necessary to have a small desktop for when the kids wanted to work on a computer. The closet was a perfect spot for this and to store all of the supplies needed for getting homework done.<br />

This room has been amazing. We finished it just before school began and they've been enjoying it ever since! The couch also opens up to a bed so this room also serves as a guest room. Couldn't do that with the big desk in here before!<br />

Yay! My favorite season! I don't know which I love more, the food or the decorating. So I want to give you some styling ideas for a fall inspired tablescape. This one is set up for a cocktail hour. So fun to create and very simple.<br />

I used a box of butternut squash soup for these mini tasting bowls. I love the little spoons! I added a dollop of greek yogurt and sprinkled a little berbere spice for color and a kick! A grey linen napkin tied with jute and a sage sprig makes the perfect cozy for a loaf of french bread.

So that's the food, now for the decorating. I always start with my layers...trays, platters, platforms, crates. I lay it out keeping the flow in mind and the reach. You want it all to be easily accessible. </div>

Now for the the fun stuff! Flowers and props! Keep it simple. I have one large centerpiece down the center and I just coordinated everything else with the green/burgandy preserved hydrangeas. These pears were the perfect color and I love decorating with produce. You can eat the decorations after! These artichokes are dried however, so no consuming.</div>

There are so many social media sites to keep up with and I obviously am not that great at it. My favorite and where I post most often is Instagram so if you want to keep up with us I recommend looking for @myhydrangeahome on IG. It's quick and easy and very interactive so you can see why I love it there.<br />
Ok, back to the recipe.<br />

Roasted Cauliflower "Steaks"<br />
<br />
Roasted Cauliflower "steaks" over lentils with a little fresh parsley. A great meatless dish.<br />
Cut
cauliflower into slices at least 1/2" thick so they stay together.<br />
Brush
with olive oil and season with s&p and your choice of spices.<br />
I
used an adobo spice blend from <a href="http://www.tainosofrito.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #76a5af;">Tainos Sofrito</span></a>.<br />
Roasted in a 425 degree
oven 20-30 min (flipping once half way through). <br />
Would have been nice with a bit of plain Greek yogurt
too. Yummy!<br />
Lentils were just prepared as indicated on package. I added a little adobo seasoning to the finished lentils too. 2 heads of cauliflower served 4 people with a bunch of loose pieces of cauliflower leftover. When you are cutting the head into steaks, you only get about 4 good size pieces that stay intact. I also seasoned and roasted the loose pieces on a separate cookie sheet.Dawn-Hydrangea Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316120900135112187noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34635037.post-56471599232192516892015-06-25T09:23:00.000-07:002015-06-25T09:24:13.361-07:00Dining Room - Source listMy brother and sister-in-law spent a lot of time choosing the materials for their new dining room (formerly a covered patio - see previous post <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://myhydrangeahome.blogspot.com/2015/06/and-aftercovered-porch-dining-room.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">HERE</span></a>)</span>.
