About this time last year, I introduced you all to a beautiful shop in Buckhead that I visted, gathering lots of inspiration and ideas. Last week, I met up with my long time decorating friend, Maureen, and we hit Boxwoods again to see what is new this year. As always, it’s a treasure trove of eye candy. Now, this place is not necessarily where you’ll find bargains, but there are plenty of beautiful things to see and you can get ideas.
And this will be a teaser for spring, as they have an indoor garden area with lots of pretties to see. I’m SO over all the rain we are getting. I know we need it, but I can’t wait for sunshine and spring! Boxwoods is in a pretty little house setting.
Inside are lots of decorating accessories and furniture. I loved these botanicals with the burlap mats. The frames were distressed with an inner white liner too and at $69 each, not a bad price. There were 6 to choose from, I think. I did find some loose fern botanicals at Scott’s last weekend and since I already have some frames, I’m going to use them in my old frames. But, I love the look of these.
There are tons of pretty things to look at in here, many garden and bird items too.
Not to mention chandeliers in all styles.
Loved this room of blue and white pottery. So springy and happy!
This rattan sofa with the word pillows was fun.
I liked this mirror with the layered frames.
This whole room in the back is filled with chandeliers all over the place.
So many pretties.
See what I mean?
Like this one, those are small stones all strung together. So pretty!
And this glitzy gold one was oh so stylish.
Mercury glass is still hot and on trend.
Here’s a shot of my friend, Maureen, a pretty redhead.
And so are cloches.
And lanterns filled with mossy balls and grapevine balls.
They have a really nice garden center with pottery and plants. Loved these blue hues.
Succulents in glass.
This room is always my fave. They still have lots of blues and greens in here.
With so many cute accessories.
They also grow real orchids too that are for sale, so many of them. I admire those who can grow orchids. I tried one time and gave up.
Loved these fabrics on the pillows.
Another pretty tabletop with moss balls.
Are you in the mood for Spring yet? I know, me too!
See! Here are all the orchids.
This is a pretty white iron urn filled with real moss. Love this!
A hot pink orchid caught my eye.
And so did this sweet little bunny.
I can’t wait to plant some hydrangeas at my new house.
An outdoor garden house and statue.
Next door is the Boxwoods tables, with lots of beautiful dishware and tabletop accessories. Isn’t this a gorgeous table?

Loved the textures of all the placemats, napkins and glassware.
This blue dining room was also stylish and regal.
With layered plates and dishes, it was fun to look at.
Another sweet bunny pillow.
And one more room of neutrals.
Hope you enjoyed tagging along with Maureen and me at Boxwoods in Buckhead. If you get a chance, stop by there, you will love it too!
Did you have lunch at Souper Jenny? Boxwoods and lunch at Souper Jenny is one of my favorite girlfriend outings. Those orchids are beautiful.
HI, Jojo, we actually went to another place just down the street called Portofino. It’s really good too.
What a gorgeous store! I could get in a lot of trouble there and will have to check it out during Haven. Thanks for sharing!
what a GORGEOUS STORE!! i could stay in there all.day.long. however i am shocked that you think $69 for those burlap prints is a good price! those could easily be recreated for much much cheaper. burlap is big right now and is easily found for a good price not to mention a thrift store frame and print that could be done from a computer or old book.
i look forward to better weather so that i can hit my decor/thrift stores to see what i can find!
Sharon, well compared to most of the other things in the store, $69 for those wasn’t a bad price. To recreate them you’d have to find some nice botanicals that size and that’s not always easy to do, plus distressed frames and burlap. Yes, it could be done cheaper, for sure! I did find some loose botanicals at Scotts for $10 each, so I’ll be doing my own version with frames I already have. Although my frames already have mats, so I don’t think I’ll be adding the burlap.
Hi Rhoda! What a great place with lots of beautiful things! I’m sure ready for spring – we still have snow on the ground here! Was that Maureen from Great Impressions? Is she still in her beautiful house? I still remember her wall color ‘Tobacco’ and the gate on the wall. (if my memory serves me right) What fun for you both!!
Celia
Yes, Celia and Mary, it’s Maureen from GI. We are still buddies and yes, she still lives in her pretty house. I have one shot of her in a mirror, I need to add that one in.
Rhoda, I’m guessing it was Maureen from GI too, she had a gorgeous home, does she blog?
I could spend hours and hours in this store, great inspiration pictures though, thanks for sharing all of them.
Hi Rhoda — thanks for the tour. What a gorgeous place!
I also love orchids but have no luck with them. I tried using one in my foyer when I was selling my house but the flower died almost instantly. My “trick” for orchids was to trim away the dead flower and leave the leaves behind. Then I found a really realistic looking silk one (AC Moore had it, I think) and popped it in the planter.
I knew I had a winner when my cleaning lady asked me (4 months later) “Miss Laura, how do you keep that flower alive so long?” She had been watering it for me and didn’t even realize the flower was fake!
Ha, Laura, that’s a great story! I gave one a shot and I have a fake one too that is pretty realistic, so I’m not likely to buy another real one.
This is a fantastic store, I remember it from last time. They have so many things that I would love, which my wallet may not. Great chandeliers too.
Cynthia
Thanks for the wonderful tour!! We have a store similar
here called Sheridan Nurseries.
What a gorgeous place! Little Bit from http://www.DecorateWithaLittleBit.com
Wish I lived closer, we’d be great “lookin” buddies! I need to put this place of my “places to visit” list! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful shop…I could linger there for days!
Have a great day…
Blessings,
Cindy
Rhoda! My favorite post …EVER! I loved everything, but I really loved those green and blue pillows in that chair! Do you have the names of those fabrics? Travelling along with you is such fun! Thank you for taking me along!
HI, Pamela, sorry, I have no information on any of the products. Just took my camera along!
I love that garden statue. Also the pottery and flowers are amazing. Thank for sharing.
What a fun place to shop! It really puts me in the mood to start a little spring decorating and shopping. Audley & I were thinking about a trip to Scott’s next month …. I may need to add Boxwoods to our agenda. =)
I thought stores like this only existed in my dreams. wow. very nice!
I would have loved to tag along, Rhoda. Loved catching a glimpse of Maureen.:-)
Lots of wonderful inspiration. I really need to go shopping!
I almost cried when I saw the chair covered in burlap…I LOVE it!!! It’s probably a good thing that I don’t have access to a place like that ~ Thanks for sharing 😉
Oh, how lovely would have to have a lot of money for a visit there. lol How fun it would be to just buy everything you loved but I’d have to settle on getting ideas! Wonderful place, thanks for taking us along!
Such a fun day with you, my friend! My favorite was the tiny child’s chair covered in burlap! Hello to Celia and Mary and Pat- Yes, I still have that gate on my wall! I hope to return to blogging at some point, but I am very busy with my photography these days!
Still having trouble…receiving 2 identical blog posts sent at same time. Just a heads up!
