Sweet Home.....Missouri!

Oh hello!


In the rolling hills and vineyards of Southeast Missouri lies a beautiful rural community. Farmington, Missouri is rich with history, culture and community (www.discoverfarmingtonmo.com). This may be a quant little town, but it’s big on home décor…country style! I only had time to visit a couple stores, however I will be blogging about a few others when I visit again (keep an eye out for the future blogs).  Down the historic main street is a potpourri of home décor and accessory stores. 

Across the street from the Court House is a beautiful store that almost seems to be the cornerstone of the entire block.  Botaniques on the Square is an example of high style and elegant living. When walking in it’s like being transferred to another place.  The ladies there are great for conversation and assisting you with your décor needs. Beautiful accessories made of silver and glass greet you at the door.  Unique French Country design and elements tease your senses.  The store displays wonderful little vignettes of small furniture, plates and beautiful nick knacks. Sculpture, yard pieces and flowers are displayed throughout.  They also provide a wonderful full floral service as well.  Original paintings adorn the walls and there are even more surprises upstairs! This is one my favorite spots to visit and adventure through; it is truly a feast for the eyes!

Just down the street is another treasure...Jennie Annie's.  Country is definitely in style here...you immediately have a sense of home.  This store has bright colors, flowers and miniature topiaries.  I especially like the vine of flowers flowing up the stair banister.  Before going upstairs try not to miss the wall of beautiful and colorful handbags near the back. Adventuring upstairs proves to be a continual "search and fine" of treasures.  The upstairs is broken into small rooms and vignettes. Each room has a distinct style and ambiance.  Looking at all the wonderful home décor items you will loose track of time!  Jennie Annie's is a great place to find that something special.  This home accessories store-front is a wonderful find and a great place to get lost in.

Good day!
