Spring in France: Photos to Inspire Spring Decorating

2012-05-10T17:51:26Z

Dreamy spring days filled with sunshine and daisies can become wonderful inspiration for charming spring decor. We came across a fantastic blog called Fussy French that features delightful spring-inspired images. Here were our favorite photos that we think offer creative and beautiful decorating ideas that celebrate the sunny season.

An antique dresser becomes a unique planter when paired with other unique containers and even an antique candelabra for a final flower display that is beautiful and one of a kind.

A collection of antiques including a wicker chair, side table, towel rack and watering can are used to create a whimsical garden scene.

Another whimsical garden scene is created here with similar antique items as well as a vintage chandelier and an antique lantern; we can see this arrangement working beautifully in a sunroom, too!

We love the idea of an antique bicycle becoming a flower holder to lean against a wall for a unique decorative display indoors or outdoors.

Arkansas homeowners can find a stunning collection of antique furniture and home decor at French Quarters in Fayetteville. To learn more about our showroom inventory contact us at 866-414-6864.

The 2012 Block Street Block Party is Sunday, May 20th!

2012-05-10T17:51:39Z

All are invited to the 2nd annual Block Street Block Party on Sunday, May 20th, when the streets of downtown Fayetteville will turn into a festival of live music, shopping, arts and crafts, tricycle races, beer gardens, tasty vendors and much more! Last year, the first ever Block Street Block Party brought the most visitors to any downtown event in Fayetteville. We are expecting this year to be just as big a hit, if not bigger.

French Quarters will join the other wonderful boutiques and eclectic shops as we all extend onto the streets to unique items for sale throughout this special day-long event. In front of the French Quarters antique showroom and gift shop at 11 North Block Avenue, we will have a table for kids to make their own tutus! At the tutu-making station, we will also be collecting donations to benefit the Arkansas Food Bank’s Backpack for Kids program.

More details about the event, call French Quarters at 866-414-6864 or head over to the Block Street Block Party Facebook Event online.
