September 2019 Classes, and Fall Harvest show at The Camellia, Thunder Bay

Fall brings rich, warm colours and warm apple pie, and best of all, our FALL SHOW here at The Camellia starts today,  Wednesday and runs until this Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019. It's so important (as we head into colder, less sunshiney days) to turn our attention to the inside of our Homes, to help us cope with shorter daylight hours and cooler days. Our Happy Fall signs, a new Fall wreath, a cozy blanket and some new Bedding, these are simple pleasures that help ease us into Fall.  CLASSES     https://www.thecamellia.com/classes-at-the-camelia.html This past Winter was the coldest ever with lots of snow, so we will try to hold as many Classes as we can before the snow flies.

Modern Fall floral decor

Does Fall decorating involve a lot of orange and rust...my home is neutral, and oranges just don't go with our home! Help!  Fall can be all neutrals, with touches of browns, with the addition of pieces of driftwood from the Lake, pine cones and other found treasures.

Neutrals don't have to be boring. Fall Floral designs add warmth and texture to your room. At #TheCamellia we have Ash rounds for sale, these are great as charger plates, decor pieces, and they serve as hot mats on your dining table. Add a bit of Olive oil to them to bring out the patterned wood rings. 

In this design, bits of cork and driftwood add interest & texture, and don't you just love the how the greys and browns and whitewashed pods blend seamlessly to provide a stunning accent for your Table. Stop in at #TheCamellia today to order your custom Floral for your Fall table.

What's involved in ordering a custom floral?  Measure your area in terms of height and width, bring in any paint or fabric swatches you have, come into The Camellia to choose your flowers and container, we get back to you with  a price, most custom orders will take about a week or so. 

Our popular flocked branches, a statement if you use them on your own, or as you see them here, with palm spears, pods, and wood flowers. 

Take your cue for Fall decor from the worn patina of this Brick exterior, on this stately Colonial home in upstate NY.  

Reds, rusts, burgundys and taupes look wonderful together. You can always punch up a neutral with a burst of RED!

A Visit to Restoration Hardware

How many of you drool over the Restoration Hardware catalogue? We were lucky enough to visit a Restoration Hardware store recently, and it was a treat. 

As soon as you enter you are enveloped in tones of greys, beiges and taupes. There is a sense of tranquility in neutrals. And there are over-the-top crystal light fixtures. Farmhouse tables ..... bowls of moss. 

Rolled-up scrolls as a centerpiece.

Comfy upholstered chairs. 

Fluffy beds to sink into.

Mohair throws for the cold nights ahead. 

Tables and  furniture made with reclaimed wood. You can custom order similar tables from Brad, made with wood from Thunder Bay sawmills. 

How simple this is ... a bowl filled with moss.....

Don't you love the rolling ladder..?

Visit The Camellia for Fall flowers in earthtones and neutrals. 

Rich tones of rusts, golden yellows, and oranges now in stock. 

Beekman 1802 Goats' Milk bodycare products  - perfect in a Restoration Hardware inspired bathroom.

Welcome! You are warmly invited to a Rustic Autumn Fair at The Camellia. It starts this Saturday, Sept. 21st. 2103, from 11-5p, and Sunday Sept. 22nd. 12-5p. and runs until Halloween. Come out and bring lots of friends! Here is one of the wreaths we just made with Birch twigs, seeded Euc. and dyed Triticum wheat.

 Wonderful views of Ripening fields in Slate River Valley, waiting to be harvested.

 Nice weather for a Fall hike, this is on Memory Road close to the U.S./Canada border.

 Great views of Lake Superior from the top.

 Apples from our trees make an easy Fall centerpiece, just place bowl on a wreath, we have these for sale at the Camellia in all sizes.

Hay being harvested just up the road. 

Hard to say Good-bye to Summer.. just look at this house on the way to Park Point, near Duluth, Mn.

 

Here in Thunder Bay, the leaves are slowly changing to their Fall coat.

Some renovations which are  getting done at our place  .. a trip to Ikea Winnipeg for inspiration.

 Ripping up old carpet to replace with laminate floors ... and notice the baseboards. Old baseboards are given a new life with #Cottage Paint, these were varnished before, but look at what 2 coats of Cottage Paint, and 2 coats of finishing wax will do. We have just received a new shipment of Cottage Paint, so make sure to visit The Camellia.

Share your renovating projects with us! 

We are open Wed. 11-5. Thurs. 12-7. Fri. 11-6. Sat. 11-5. Sun. 12-5.
