For the Love of Animals!

What a spectacular day!! On Saturday, July 13th, Fifi O'neill acclaimed author of "Rescue Me" visited us for a book signing. She was SO gracious, warm and inspiring, not to mention very stylish! We had a blast!! All the proceeds from her book sales will directly benefit animals in need.

Dedicated volunteers from Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA), a no kill shelter,  also joined us bringing several furry cuties in search of forever homes. Pictured here is Fifi, (on the right) with Patti and Tanner. Just look at that face!!

Lath Boxes and Table Tops!

It's that time of year once again! Friends and family gather sharing laughter, love and yummy traditional foods around the table. We here at Beekeeper's Cottage in Leesburg, Virginia offer a wonderful way to create fabulous table-scapes using lath boxes and hobnail jars.

Our lath, which means thin wood, is reclaimed from tobacco barns and fashioned into various sized boxes from 12" to 32". Standing just 5" tall and 7" wide, they provide the perfect foundation for all kinds of rustic elegance! Here we've added votive candles tucked in hobnail jars with epsom salt bottoms. Then to bring out the season, we've dressed the box with sprigs of holiday greenery. So festive!

The Joy of Lining Vintage Drawers and Cabinets

For the love of vintage drawers and cabinets, we're always on the look-out for glorious papers! Whether new, pages from a well-worn book or vintage sheet music, we here at Beekeeper's Cottage in Leesburg, Virginia are passionate about adding finishing touches to nightstands, dressers and cabinets.

When we're getting ready to line a drawer or cabinet we always do the following:

Step 1: Use a mild fresh cleaning solution to thoroughly clean the surface.
Step 2: Prepare the chosen paper by trimming and checking sizing.
Step 3: Butter 1 or 2 pieces at a time with wallpaper paste. Press pieces into place with plastic trowel.
Step 4: Leave drawers and cabinet doors open to dry.
Step 5: Brush on a clear sealer to finish.

Boho Chic!

Reclaimed Wood

We're thrilled!! We've just finished a stunning 42" round coffee table with French hook legs for our client, Kathy.

You dream it, we build it!! Take a peek at our Reclaimed Barnwood Collection on line at www.beekeeperscottage.com Here's a picture of Kathy's spectacular coffee table.http://www.pinterest.com/beekeepers9006/
