Home Decor Store | Shop With Me

Hello, I'm Jennifer Davenport and in this video I'm going to give you a spring tour of my store, JD's All About Home, so stay tuned. So one of the things I have new in the store, I have some new beautiful lighting. You know how I like lighting? I think lighting, whether it's a lamp or a chandelier, it can totally transform a room and it's its own art. But before I show you some of that, I wanted to show you, I love to do displays in the store. It's kind of my creative outlet and this is one we did this month. The month before I did umbrellas with raindrops for April showers and then this one I just did it just a happy. And then above the cash wrap, Jenna helped me with this design and it's just pretty little pink flowers. I know you guys are gonna ask me about shipping but we're not doing a lot of shipping right now. COVID has been so tough and we can't get stuff so I do, my three favorites are things we can ship and I'll show you that. But let's start with this gorgeous light. I'm all about beading whether it's in dishes or lighting and this has a little bit of a patina of gold. Gold is coming back in but it's coming in where it's a little bit more of a brushed gold and a little bit more muted. So of course, you know, I love flowers and I hope someday to have those where I can ship them to you guys because you guys ask about them all the time. I'm kind of a floral snob, I know, but I like them to look super real and rhinoceroses are one of my favorite. So over here we've got a little bit of a seating area with some candles and then behind me we have really started to elaborate on our bedding and we've come up with a lot of different designs but again you've got to take a look at this chandelier. It has a little bit of a champagne color for the metal and again the beading. It's just yummy. So if you're looking for a different idea this year for your front door, instead of a wreath, try a basket. And Jenna, she's one of the girls that works for me, I'm gonna show you what she did using a basket on her front door. Now sometimes if the basket has a little bit of a handle, this one has a rope handle and she found it was kind of leaning away from her door so all she did was add some command hooks onto her door and that allowed the basket to sit flush on her front door. Just look how beautiful this is. Simple and elegant. So like I said, we've added a lot to our bedding. I love a well-made bed and yes I make mine every day. It makes me so happy. But we have some bunny pillows that are embroidered on a beautiful velvet fabric. Again, we put a settee in the front of the bed with a long, it's a body pillow, but we use it a lot of different ways. We use those long pillows at the front of a bed, sometimes we lay them at the end of the bed, and in this case we put this beautiful pillow on a settee that sits right in front of the bed. So one of the things that's become kind of popular this year and a little bit last year is acrylic. And you'll look on this lamp, beautiful little bit of gold, but then the bottom base is acrylic. It just adds a little bit of elegance. I don't always jump into trends a hundred percent, but I think if you sprinkle them into your design, which I like to keep my designs timeless, but I think if you sprinkle in just a little bit of trend, it's all you need. So another thing I'm pretty picky about is art. I grew up, my mother was just loved art, so I grew up around it and I'm really picky about the art that I choose for the store. And this is an original oil painting. Most of the oil paintings that I choose I have seen in person before they hit the store, but the colors of this are just so happy and so warm, and this is a piece that can get passed on. So another thing that has gotten super popular again, it's been around for a long time, but I'm seeing a lot in design, is chinoiserie. A little bit of blue and a little bit of white. I tend to like it with just a little bit more of a muted blue, but it adds just the right pop of color in any room. I love to decorate with books and finding really unique bookends just adds character to the decor that you're gonna put on the table. These are my cute little puppies, of course I'm a dog lover, but let me tell you something else I do with books. Say you have something, say you have a lamp that needs to be just a little bit taller, well books is a perfect way to give some height, whether it's decor or a lamp. Well if you've watched any of my videos before, you know how I love drapes and how I will just tell you it will change the way a room looks. Even if you're not wanting them to close, you're not wanting to hide your view, just having some drapery panels to flank a window sets the whole mood for the room, adds softness. One of the things we do sell online is our linen drapery panels. They are lined, they're made with beautiful linen, come in several colors, and they run around $3.85 for a pair. They're pleated, I'm telling you they are beautiful high quality. Now another trend I'm seeing this year, color is coming back and big pattern is coming back. Take a look at this, I'm dying to make some drapes in this fabric. Beautiful large florals are back, it's just happy. So we are ready to get some drapes made in the store with these patterns and see how they look in homes. Let me show you some more lights we have in the store. This one is one, it looks to me like it has French horns on the outside, it's a little bit rustic but still has elegance. A lot of the light fixtures now come with Edison bulbs. Edison bulbs can cast a very calm and soothing light, so it just depends on how much light you need in that particular room. Many times when you buy new homes you just have the builder lights. I have worked with several clients where we have started all over with new lighting and it has made a world of difference. Here's another art piece that we got in, again full of beautiful color, the orange, the yellow, the blues. This would just look so super happy in any space. Now yellow is the color of the year, so let me show you where else we've kind of pulled that out into the store. We have got a ton of lemon sprigs. You can add them in a floral, you can put them in a wreath. They just add again that little pop of color and a little bit of happiness. We also have some plates. These are, I think these would be so super beautiful just on a plate stand in a kitchen. I mean look how beautiful those colors are. Okay, look at this cute little puppy friend, dogs laugh but they laugh at their tails. So this is one of my very favorite vignettes that my team put together. We have a beautiful round wood mirror flanked by these two historical art prints and if you've watched the video of Cole's house, she's one of my assistants. She has these in her husband's office. I'll put a link because you do not want to miss that video. On top of this buffet we have these beautiful lamps. These are ones I use. They're pretty standard in a lot of my designs. I like them because it's mercury glass. Again, you're gonna see the acrylic bottom. They're just a perfect size. Beautiful greenery and a big white vase and then of course this beautiful buffet. So 2020 was the year of the home office. Thank you COVID, but we really have honed in on that and we created this vignette of a pretty cool office and to me if you've got a really pretty workspace, you're more protective. So something a little different we've done in the store. Instead of putting pillows all over, we decided to make a whole rack of them so that customers can see them easily. Let me tell you something. A lot of times when I go visit a client, one of the things I'll always notice is if their pillows on their couch look sad, flat. Guys, the biggest way you can make your sofa look super beautiful is adding great pillows. Get the fluffy ones. You don't have to do the karate chop. I do, but look at your pillows. Do they need to be replaced because it can make a big difference for just a little bit of money. So this is probably one of my favorite pieces we have ever gotten in the store. It is so unique. It's super tall. I like the chipped paint underneath on the bottom and then I like the wood on top. One of the things besides the fact that this is massive storage, if it's put in a dining room, I love it because it's going to be, you're gonna see your table first in a dining room and then you see that larger buffet. This being so tall is just a statement piece. So this is one of the lamps. We do have this one online. I did this in another video. I put this on an entryway table for a client. I don't know, it's just so super unique because it's got a wire mesh shade and then we've got the Edison bulbs that are light and add just a little bit of lighting, which is what you need since you have a mesh shade. You don't want it to be too bright and then the metal just has a really neat patina. Very different lamp. So two of the things that we've incorporated into the store this spring are bumblebees and lemons. You really can't get much happier than that. Okay, something else that we do have online are puppy portraits. It's a local artist. Okay, look at this. This is my little baby. You've met her before, little Molly. And look, let me show you these pillows. Super soft, beautiful. Look at the inside. It has detail on top of detail. Guess what? They're outdoor pillows. This is Krypton fabric. Yes, it's not itchy. It's soft. These are beautiful. We have several custom outdoor pillows that I think are going to make any porch over the top. Thank you so much for coming along with me on this store tour.
