Another Door Opens for the Huffingtons

If you’ve been following our blog lately, you may have noticed that we’ve been hinting about something big that’s in the works for us.

Six years after opening our little blue door at the gallery, we’re still having the time of our lives. We are passionate about art, adore our artists and clients and consider every day a pleasure. But we’ve noticed that our interest has been piqued by other elements that marry so nicely with art. In the space of two and a half years, one of us has either torn down and rebuilt a home (Meg’s new living room pictured below):

…or in Ann’s case, embarked on the search, discovery and miraculous transformation of a Paris apartment.

Despite the tears and temper tantrums that go hand-in-hand with rebuilding, renovating and designing interiors, we both realized how much we enjoyed the processes…and it got our brains whirling.

What if we kept the gallery but opened another retail store that featured all the other stuff that goes hand-in-hand with art?

What if we filled it to the brim with all the things we love – and can’t live without?

We started thinking about the furniture we’d carry – lots of crusty Louis XVI but a splash of new, bright and modern, too:

Who can resist the sexy lines of Louis XVI? We can’t…especially when it’s paired with something really sassy.

Then, we thought about lighting….chunky crystal chandeliers hanging side by side with industrial chic pendants:

What if we filled the space with baskets, books, candles, champagne flutes, fine linens, throws and hard-to-find, one-of-a-kind accessories that we knew we could scour from our favorite sources in France?

We know these would be gorgeous covered in a pale gray linen and we’d snap them up in a heartbeat.

And, clean and new: who couldn’t love this elegant upholstered sofa made here in the United States?

We remembered Linda’s fabulous photo shoot and her fun wine jugs. We could carry those, too. (We found five big ones that we loved and you should have seen Linda and Meg trying to get them in the back of her Suburban…)

Wouldn't it be fun to have a little section called La Pharmacie and carry French soaps, lotions, and creams (and yummy candles)?

And linens galore…

And, wouldn’t it be so great if we find a fabulous, high-visibility location near the gallery?

To all those questions, we happily can answer YES, YES, YES – and we proudly and officially announce that we’re opening Huff Harrington Home on November 11, 2011 at the swanky Buckhead address of 102 West Paces Ferry Road.


Our space is gigantic (to our eyes!) and oozing with industrial chic: concrete floors, huge ceilings, flooded with light and a long, long expanse of glass windows that will be perfect for showing off our wares. And, we plan on infusing our new space with our favorite french music, friendliness and fun.


We’ll keep you posted on the fun before and after pictures…but for now, we just can’t wait to open our new doors.

Ta Ta.
