Visions of the beach cottage......

 A girl can dream.....

         If you listen close

 you can hear those waves

                   crashing into the shore              

                   

Do you smell the salt in the air?

I see the sunset of fiery hues...

                                                                                                   tastes of fresh seafood-simplicity of family together with no schedule

                                                                                                        flicker of fun memories

relaxing in beach cottage bliss

                                                                         CHEERS to the memories-

        

 trips do not always have to be literal-

 hope you enjoyed it as much as I did !

What's HOT at The Hen House besides our 90+ temperatures...it is painted furniture !

   I am having a love hate relationship with my old building right now. I love the history-the ambiance etc, etc...but these days and this heat-let's just say--the girl goes home at the end of the day feeling like some of our chippy painted objects. Feel like I am a bit "weathered" if you will. But...my wonderful customers and dealers keep me remembering why I love this business so. When I see a customers excitement over finding that perfect treasure and then when my dealers bring in awesome merchandise that just makes my heart melt (oh bad choice of words) - I become charged with renewed energy !

           Let me take a moment of a little show and share since speaking of painted hot furniture--take a peak at a few treasures just in at TFH...

How about this fabulous three drawer chest? All original paint-all five or more colors--is this fab or what!

Then we have this great Lilly Pulitzer inspired bookcase painted in a wonderful turquoise with lime green side panels and just this slighest bit of distressing-just plain fun!

OR...feeling like a dreamsicle (ohhh...does that sound good, cool and refreshing )-sorry ,it must be the heat! Check out this great vintage Duncan Phyfe table that had some serious vaneer issues so distressed dreamsicle tangerine was one dealers answer-how fun huh?!

Of coarse the fun rich colors are not all -fall in love with these -I know I sure have!

Talent abounds at Three French Hens ! We are filled with so many more fun finds . Now I find myself inspired  -cooled off-feeling like I want to get hot with a paint brush myself...you just can't ever make a woman content ! Oh well.....here is hoping you are inspired~

Historic Floods 2010...Three French Hens is BACK!

Well actually...we never left!

How odd that I would use a "water" reference in my one and only post ...then almost exactly one year later we would face historic floods in our great city. As a native Nashvillian it is a very sad event to endure. SO MANY of our people are affected. Some losing a few things to many losing everything. I never thought a hurricane could hit Tennessee but it may as well had-the results are all the same. While being incredibly sad I am also so very proud to call myself a Tennessean. To see our community join together to help one another-we come by our name as the "Volunteer State" very honest and graciously. We will overcome this ! Please keep our wonderful citizens in your prayers-the recovery will be long BUT we will recover. Thank you so very much.

As to Three French Hens we did have approximately one inch of water in many areas of the lower level of our almost one hundred year old building. Fortunately for us the old building is not level so the water receded about as fast as it came in when the rain finally stopped. We had a bit of a mess to clean up but did not lose anything so we were very fortunate.

Thank you for following and supporting us-you are very appreciated.

Above is a small vision of what Nolensville Tennessee endured.... no more water references from this hen!

Happy -beautiful visions coming very soon. Have a great day.

Three French Hens Grand Opening

Wow...hello world-Three French Hens is open for business........and blogging !
It is hard to believe I have gone from engulfing myself around beautiful blogs for a long time to now having our own. Follow your dreams and leave those fears behind-a moto I am trying to live by more and more each day and is today ever proof of that. I am not the most computer literate passenger on this boat of life so this if a bit un-nerving . I suppose you could say I have just jumped in without the life jacket-up the creek without the paddle but am happy to leave the fear on the bank to see where this current takes me.

Now let me tell you of my newest dream come true-the opening of a wonderful antiques-decorating and gifts store in quaint historic Nolensville Tennessee called THREE FRENCH HENS.

My business partner and myself set out on this dream on April 1 and on June 6th our Grand Opening came to fruition and what a huge success it was. Many thanks to our regular customers and new found friends that discovered our charming home away from home-it was a very blessed day.

A little history on our wonderful setting-the building was constructed in1921 by the Williams family and was a Chevy dealership. The building is two stories tall however the unique twist to the story is that the lower level was the mechanics area and the car showroom was on the second story. There remains a door on the back side of the building that is on a pulley system that would open and then a ramp was put up to drive a car upstairs. An amazing thought that I ponder each and every time I am in the great old building.

I look forward to sharing our journey at Three French Hens. If your ever in the area stop on by and give us a visit. Have a wonderful day-leave your fears behind-but if you see me floating wildly downstream could you throw me a rope???????
