Classic With A Twist

Classic style is timeless and will always be enjoyed. I love classic style with a twist! A perfect example of this would be the set of Louis Arm Chairs we have in the shop. We have a traditional set in a really great french gray with a white cotton linen fabric. They are great looking. We also have a set in a true red finish, which is bright and wonderfully loud. The fabric we have on them is a simple white canvas. These are so fun and add a little twist to a very classic chair. They really would add a great pop of color and a pop of style. They are available in any of our color finishes as well!

Totally Fantastic Hutch

We just got in a totally fantastic hutch that is a natural pine finish. It is in two pieces which makes it super easy to move. I really have fallen in love with this one. I love the versatility of it. This hutch can lend itself to so many different types of styles. It can fit in a very rustic environment as well as a classic style or even a modern atmosphere. Besides the style being really great, the storage capacity is just as wonderful. The top portion has glass panels on the doors allowing it to be used for display and the bottom doors have wood panels allowing for your things to be hidden as well. You just have to see it in person. The value of this piece is unbelievable especially for all it offers. Don't forget, we can also alter the size and order it in any of our Surroundings, Inc. color finishes. 

Happy 4th Of July!

I got to thinking that red, white and blue are so prevalent in so many items throughout the shop which I never thought of before today. We have table linens, bedding, taper candles and even furniture pieces in these wonderful American colors! And we have have them year round not just during this time of year and that's pretty cool! 

Happy 4th of July!

Super Cute Little Summer Vest

The Alternative Apparel Super Cute Little Summer Vest has arrived! It is the perfect 'add on' for so many summer outfits. It is a great lightweight cotton so it does not add so much to make you even hotter, especially important in Atlanta. So many layering clothing items make it impossible to wear anything needing to be a layering piece in the heat. We thought this was so great to have in The Little Black Dress Room for the Summer. It can be worn with a pair of jeans and a tee, a skirt and a tee or even over a sundress. They really are super cute!

A Little Birdy

So many people love birds, anything with a bird motif. I had no idea how popular this was until recently when I started to really notice. From time to time we get new items in with birds. I started to become aware that these things would just fly out of the shop! As we noticed this we started to really try to find great things with birds. We came across these adorable handmade pillows last year and have been getting them in regularly since then. The pillows are available in an eighteen inch square or a lumbar pillow. I have to say, I think they are super cute! They come in a bunch of really bright colors and are great to add a little punch of color in a room. 

Great Letterpress Cards

You can always find great Letterpress Cards at the shop. We carry Snow & Graham which is made in Chicago. It is a line that has been around for quite a while and we are happy to offer it! 

Celebration is Right Around The Corner!

The 4th. of July is this upcoming Saturday and at Urban Cottage, Inc. we will be celebrating! On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a huge sale is happening! Gail and I have decided to offer a discount to everyone who comes shopping in honor of Independence Day and my Birthday. I absolutely hate my birthday. I am not exactly sure why, but I just do! So, to make it a happy and enjoyable day I want everyone else to really have fun at the shop! We have gotten in so many new things and everyone should treat themselves to something special in honor of a great American Holiday. Speaking of American, our dear friend and a wonderful artist, Carla Kaiser has created an entire limited edition Pinch Pot line in honor of America. It is called the 'Americano' Collection and they are all wonderful and unique. The outside is a wonderful blue and white and the inside the perfect red. They are red, white and blue which is perfectly American! I think they are a necessity for making your table festive for the fourth! Plus, they are great to have anywhere year round to enjoy and love!

Clever Magnets

Finding something clever can be a challenge sometimes. When I spotted these magnet sets last year, I had to try them at the shop. They really are fun and actually are good strong magnets. They are made from recycled bottle tops in Washington. I love that they are made in the United States. The artist is Kate Grenier. The sets all have different themes. What a perfect gift for so many occasions! You can only find them at Urban Cottage, Inc. in Virginia Highland.

Local Art

We try to have as much local art at the shop as possible. Currently we have Concrete Lace, which is one of my absolute favorites! Concrete Lace has wonderful Letterpress Atlanta Neighborhood postcards, Handmade Pinch Pots, Mandala Coloring Books and unbelievably awesome paper tile mosaics. Eric Underwood's Photography is another local artist I adore. His work is so different from most. We always have a great amount of his pieces. Jeanette Zeis' handmade pottery. We always keep in her Atlanta Neighborhood Mugs. A new potter we have just gotten in the shop is Charlotte Dupre. She does all oven safe serving pieces and cookware. It is simple and classic. We have Honeydoux which is handmade rings all crafted from vintage buttons and parts. A painter, Jan Eubanks who is a fantastic artist. She does oil paintings and she has a very broad spectrum. And lastly, we have Matthew Berinato of Breathless Paper Co. doing Wedding Invitations and Baby Announcements all crafted and printed in Atlanta. They are beautiful. We are constantly finding new artists to bring into the shop! 

Funky Lamps

We have some really great funky lamps! Most of them have a ceramic base and a neutral simple shade. The shapes are great and really add to them being so different. What makes them so funky, are the colors! We have them in grape, lime green, light yellow, white, black and electric orange. Only a few are left. They really would do the trick of adding a pop of color and excitement into a room! We really love them!
