Heritage


Generations ago my family settled on the East Coast.  Our family name "Stannard" remains embedded in the landscape.

Thanks! I couldn't have done it without you.

A heartfelt thank-you to my dear friends. Heather, Tonia, Fielding, Erika, and Joni I couldn't have done this without you.

And of course the biggest thanks of all to my ever supportive, understanding, and patient husband, Frank.

Love you all -

Holly

A Bit About Me

Born in Connecticut my earliest memories are a collage of New England charm. From my grandfather’s unique handmade creations to the vast array of antiques I collected with my father as we traveled the back roads of Massachusetts, New York, and Maryland was born my love for classic treasures. Now, as I find myself thousands of miles away from my roots, I’m indulging my heritage and following my heart as I repurpose furnishings to give homes around the Inland Northwest vintage inspiration with a hint old world charm.

Besides uncovering the hidden beauty in treasures from the Northwest I relish unpacking monthly shipments from New England. The carefully selected 19th century antiques sent to me from contacts in Connecticut inspire much of the work I do in my own shop. I love finding the perfect home for each item as I help my clients define their style and decorate their homes

If I’m not repurposing, refinishing, and unpacking I’m enjoying daily life with my young son and husband, tending my flower gardens, and walking our Golden Irish Setter. As a family we love camping, hiking, and spending a few weeks on the Pacific Coast each summer.

I welcome you to view my ever changing collection and shop. Come prepared to find reflections of years gone by and expressions of your heart as you delve into the treasures that have inspired my life and home. You can email me at hdalke45@msn.com for an appointment.
