Somerset Bay Spotlight

Hello everyone! This week we’re spotlighting another fantastic brand that we carry in our store: Somerset Bay! I’m a big fan of their furniture and couldn’t wait to share more information about them with you.

Their collection is inspired with the most impressive coastal locales such as Nantucket, Bar Harbor, Newport and Carmel. They've made a way to bring these environments into your own home from the gorgeous coastal color schemes, to the finishes they used.

Somerset Bay wanted to create a place of relaxation and where “the chaos of everyday life fades away.” Whether it’s a place to live, entertain or escape, these impressive products surely raise the bar with their timeless designs and evocative textures which are all handcrafted from the finest plantation grown mahogany and premium veneers and trim.

State of the art techniques are then used to produce the beautifully timeless soft Somerset Bay patina. The distressing, dry-brushing, and antiquing shape the character of each piece, further displaying the skills used to handcrafted these amazing products.

I had my own minor escape just looking for photos to share with you! These lovely pieces are sure to bring beauty, relaxation and the perfect amount of charm into your home. Be sure to check out all of the products we carry from Somerset Bay by clicking here.

O Christmas Tree...

...O Christmas tree, Much pleasure do you bring me!

These trees are quite gorgeous. A big thank you to Better Home and Gardens for these lovely Christmas tree finds! I tried to include various sizes and styles for all your viewing pleasures, so I hope you enjoy them as much as I did looking for them. I found so many that I couldn’t even begin to include them all! Each of the photos shared below can be accompanied with a tree-decorating tip, found over on the BHG website. View the entire collection here.

I’ve always stuck with a taller sized, real, Christmas tree. This year, I had to change it up some. I went with a small tabletop (fake) Christmas tree for my apartment and it turned out quite cute! Despite my initial hesitation, I have a new appreciate for smaller size Christmas trees. I trimmed my little “Charlie Brown" tree with white lights, a strand of pearls, and tiny 

silver and blue bulbs. I then topped it off with a medium sized beautiful red bow!

What size and style do you typically go with when you trim your tree each year?

Which is your favorite? Sound off in the comment section below!

Decorating the tree can be great for family time. I personally love to head to my parents home to decorate with them, all while we listen to Christmas music and then cozy up with the tree lights on and watch a few of our favorite Christmas movies. Another fun thing to include are some drinks! Here at Lavender Fields, we love sharing recipes with you, so I had to include a delicious vegan-friendly eggnog recipe for you to try out!
