Do-Over

Ever wish you could push "reset" and start over? Have you had the experience of blurting out a comment without considering the damage or consequences? Or perhaps you ended a failed relationship and wanted a clean, fresh start.

It's easy on the computer! Just press Control-Alt-Delete simultaneously and everything shuts down and re-boots in minutes. Too bad life does not organize so easily. We make commitments and break them. What satisfied us one day does not the next.We break things we can't easily replace.

Truthfully, that is the charm of moving from one of life's challenges to another. A full life equals many different experiences and adventures. Often things don't go the way we expect and we must be flexible and alter course. The chance for a do-over, while sometimes painful, can be exciting! Push out the old dusty relics, clutter, and thinking...... bring in the shiny new things.

Visit Trove today to begin your do-over... Our sales personnel will be happy to assist you in creating your new environment. Talk therapy available gratis.

Confessions of a Trovie

Can I confess to you that I love the little store on Tenth and Gilman called Trove? It is truly a treasure trove filled with beautiful items anyone would adore for their home.

Did I mention that I love the store? I could seriously live there!

It smells great when you walk in the door... they tell me it is the candles. The scent reminds me of wonderful cold days spent baking delicious sweet cakes. No calories with these aromas though. They also have a great collection of luxury linens in gorgeous fabrics and styles and lots of pillows to match. There is even a screaming deal on this bed-in-a-bag. Only $39... can you believe it? Diving deeper into the store, there are brightly colored table linens, dishes in funky designs with gnomes, and glasses adorned with goldfish or dragonflies. My all time favorite are the hand blown Mexican glasses in the turquoise blue of the Caribbean Sea. The last showroom holds the selection of furniture and it is not just everyday boring, traditional stuff. There are lots of special pieces that would work in any contemporary environment.

I saved the best part for last... everything is discounted all the time... from 40-70%. How could you possibly go wrong? I will soon be taking up residence on the Brownstone Fontaine leather bed with the Shamiana chocolate brown and copper spread in the back. See you there!

John Robshaw Pillows

I just adore John Robshaw and these pillows are so yummy... They're the softest silk and I am in love with the colors. Perfect thrown on a bed to give it a bohemian touch! (And so affordable, you don't feel bad about buying multiples. These in the photo are $36 each- $26 for the cases and $10 for each down insert.)
