A Look At Luckett's

The Old Luckett's Store




There are those unique places that we find in life that draw us in and spark our imaginations. For me, Luckett's Store near Leesburg Virginia is one of those places!

I want to take you on a field trip to Luckett's. I love to just browse... creativity and inspiration are free! Browse through the pictures and see what wonderful ideas and imaginations you will wrap up and take away from your visit!






Luckett's is filled to the brim with a combination of vintage, junktiques and new beauties.







 It feels a little french... a bit more shabby and unkempt~ like an attic overflowing with undiscovered  treasures!









The store boasts room after cluttered room of both old and new merchandise. Luckett's encompasses many outbuildings and a design house too.









Every nook and cranny from ceiling to floor is filled with reasonably priced goodies!




Amidst all the well designed chaos was this soothing wall of silver. I have a huge crush on all silver... it was so hard to only take a few home with me!







Other spectacular finds...








Well worth the trip, I usually leave Luckett's with a mammoth case of sensory overload and my head exploding with creative ideas and projects! Doesn't that sound like the perfect day?

  4. This is one of those places that makes me want to throw everything away and start over again...all white and shabby! I must say that I did see many things that I could work into my "brown" decor!

  5. I've heard of Luckett's before but never been to shop there. Thanks for the delightful tour.

    I get a kick out of seeing things that I've owned for years being referred to as "vintage" or "collectables". Does that means I'm getting old?

    Please tell me you bought some of the bee napkins to go with "our" silverware???!!!

    Hugs,

  7. Yvonne: This is a beautiful reminder of coming home for me. I've been to Luckett's --every October, I travel to my hometown of Roanoke and later drive up through the valley to D.C.. Your photos are wonderful. I see a number of things I want!!

    Best,
    Bonnie

  15. I need a trip to Virginia when the leaves change so I can go shopping there. Love that silver pattern on the flatware. I was looking for some silver today, but nothing good around here. Thanks for sharing this outing with us.

  17. Hi Yvonne,

  19. I visited Lucketts last fall for the first time and fell in love with the shop! They have the most amazing and unique items. I see lots of new things in your photos.
    Once a year they have an antique market that is fabulous.

  21. I even like the name of this store! Looks like a wonderful place to shop. There is a painted grey basket in the first photos with a plant in it that looks almost like the one I just posted about that I bought for a friend. Love it!

  22. What a lovely store! My husband travels to Richmond a lot. I need to find out if this town is anywhere near there. I just might have to take a trip with him and visit it. Carla

  27. I wanna go..I wanna go..I wanna go...I feel like my little 3 year old SweetCheeks here when she begs to go someplace! I think I would have a hard time leaving once I got there. I love the blue cupboard and the love seat with the "written" fabric. Very, very cool! Diana

  30. I wish I lived near Leesburg, Virginia... on the other hand, my husband would probably be glad I don't. Thanks for the tour of such a fabulous place. I am new to your blog and am going to be checking it out!

  32. I know I could get myself in all kinds of trouble in that wonderful store. It would be fun to browse through it with you, Yvonne, to see what treasures you would choose.

    I especially like the pretty, ruffled slipcovers. Wouldn't that be fun!

  33. Oh I wanted so many things! What

  35. Hello sweet Yvonne! Oh MY GOSH-- that indeed would be a VERY dangerous place for me to visit. I see so many irresistible goodies. :D

    Thank you so much for sharing Luckett's Store with us! Great photos! (I think I've told you that a few times before, haven't I?!) *grin*

    It's always a treat to come visit your gorgeous blog. ((hugs)) ~m.

  36. What a beautiful store in which to browse away the afternoon...I'm pretty sure it would take several hours to go through multiple rooms filled with lovely treasures. No quick "in and out in thirty minutes" kind of place.

    By the way, you always take such lovely photos!!

    Blessings on your day,
    Patti

  37. Yvonne, thanks so much for this WONDERFUL, virtual tour! I want to go in REAL time now:):) I adore the silver you showed, is that the pattern you bought????? It is GORGEOUS!!!! I saw so many things that I would have wanted to buy! I hope I get to go there one day. I can't wait to see what Luckett's inspires you to do!!!!!!!!!! I know it will be fabulous!!!!! XO, Pinky

  39. I'm popping over here from Low Tide High Style. It's nice to see someone else who lives nearby. I've been shopping at Lucketts for as long as I can remember. It's a rare trip that I don't come home with at least one wonderful treasure in the car to take home. My most recent is a chippy white step-back cupboard that is perfect for my almost-finished bathroom renovation.

    Just wanted to say HI. I'm off to read some more of your blog.

  40. Oh my goodness!!!!! My hubby has relatives back there - I cannot forget to go t this place. It could be trouble - I'd have to rent a truck to get it all home. I see so many delightful items that I fancy!

  41. Luckett's looks like my kind of store! The blue walls really showcase all the treasures. Like Holly said, you would have to rent a truck to bring all those goodies home!
    Hope you found something you loved!
    Enjoy,
    Mimi
