We have always loved the Sonoma Wine Country but have not been for a visit in awhile. Our children gave us a weekend in Healdsburg at the beautiful Le Mars Hotel for Christmas lucky us!!
We stopped in Sonoma on our way up on Friday and dropped in on a couple of our favorite haunts. I always love visiting Sonoma Country Antiques. The shop is packed full of antiques, architectural items and home accessories. I always find some thing interesting for myself or one of my clients. I wouldn’t think of going to Sonoma without stopping.
They do an incredible job with their displays. I loved this arrangement with the oversized Santo.
This deer head hanging on old shutters was calling my name. I think I am going to try this little vignette at my lake house!
Look at all the fabulous goodies they have stacked on top of this oversized cupboard. They make it look so easy don’t they?!!
They always have tons of wine related antique and vintage finds. Aren’t these gathering baskets great? I would love to take one of these home to hang in our wine cellar.
Inside CornerStone is one of my favorite haunts Tesoro Home and Garden.
I worked on a house in Silverado a few years back and I always stopped and visited their tiny storefront in St. Helena. They have now moved to Cornerstone where they have the room to display display the artistry of floral designer Paul Stokey and Staff. They too have wonderful inspirational displays and unique decorative accessories for the home. For more information and how to find them go here http://tesoroflowers.com/
I thought this display was extremely clever. Simple square floral vases in three sizes filled with tea lights. I could see simple greens wound around for a less contemporary look as well. I loved this!
Next stop Artefact Design and Salvage also located within the confines of Cornerstone.
This photo from their website says it all. They specialize in architectural items, and decorative objects crafted from salvaged materials.
You can see the variety and depth of the objects offered. Many things are very large scale creating maximum impact. The displays and designs are the genius of owner and founder Dave Allen. Notice the spoon chandelier in my photo below.
If I were to walk out with one item I would have nabbed this fabulous Santo

How about this French Train Station Clock? Wouldn’t this make a fabulous statement piece in your home or garden?

I am crazy about this long oval table (sorry about the horrible photo…left my good camera at home). I wish I knew someone who needed this…love it!
If you make a trip to the wine country you will definately want to stop by. They have a revolving inventory of antique and one of a kind items for your home. For more information go to their website here http://www.sonomaantiques.com/

Our last stop before heading up to Healdsburg Chateau Sonoma. Owner Sarah Anderson always has wonderful vintage and unique objects for the home that delight and surprise shoppers.
