*Please note, these are in no particular order. Don't make us choose!
Starting off the list is one of our all time favorites; silver! This is a staple in the store, and the older and unpolished, the better. We love teapots & water pitchers for flowers, trays for serving, as well as displaying, and cream and sugar cups, just because!
Another constant favorite of ours are curtain crowns. We get them in the store from time to time but they are hard to keep in stock! Our customers share our love for these. Great for little girls' rooms but can be transitioned into gorgeous master bedrooms. Obviously you need the perfect curtain to go with them, but we can help you with that too!
Copper; a new favorite around TWR! We haven't found much yet but we have our eyes out. Use it similarly to silver; decorate and repurpose it for this and that. But do not use it as a replacement for silver. Number one rule at The White Rabbit: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO MIX!!
Okay, when I said not to ask us to pick our favorite of the 10, I wasn't thinking about this one. This just might have to be at the top of our list. And really, no description is necessary.
There she is, in all her glory. We found her a week ago and it took three days to clean. It was worth every minute.
The next of our favorites could be an underestimated gem. Books. It's as simple as that. Old books can be used to create height within a display or bring color or texture to any nook in your home. We have them around every corner at the store!
Some may think this next one is seasonal, but we think shells can be used all year round. Why wouldn't you want to? It's that small reminder of the beach. Who doesn't need that from time to time? Currently, we are loving sea fans. We will be ordering more due to the fact the first shipment sold out within the week. In addition, we love coral, and obviously starfish.
Now we want to make this clear, nothing will ever replace our beloved Cottage White paint. It's been our most popular paint color for YEARS. Lately, however Perfect Taupe by Behr has been a top seller around here. The color is very neutral, with just a hint of gray. It looks great next to unpainted hardware, like the pull of a drawer. It also brought new life to one of our china cabinets. Needless to say, both of these pieces are sold.
Each employee at the store has their own unique style when it comes to home decor. With one exception; we are OBSESSED with anything gilded. I do not say this lightly. "I saw it first" is a common statement heard at the store. Mirrors are something we all collect, but any little trinket with a bow, heart or cherub will really get us going.
Another item we are looking for lately has been rugs. They are harder to find because the older ones are not in the best condition, but sometimes, when we're lucky, a perfect one will come our way. Vibrant colors, intricate patterns; we can't say no. And don't think for one second that you just need one rug per room. NO! Layer, layer, LAYER!
*PS: These pictures are from two of our employees houses. Can you guess which employees??
Rounding out the list are peonies. Both fresh and dried, we have no preference. They are great in any arrangement, in any part of the house. I mean really, what makes you happier than flowers??
We hope that our list brings you some inspiration. Come into the store and we'll help you create your own Top 10 List!
