A Peek Into the Walls of WSH!
“Visit William Sonoma Home” has been an item on my to-do list for some time now. The home furnishings retail company opened up a Plano location a few years ago and I have been meaning to make the trek up north to check it out ever since its grand opening.
It’s funny how quickly time passes and up until last Friday at 12 pm, I hadn’t stepped foot in their door. I was at one of my client’s houses (who lives in Plano) and she suggested that we go up to WSH to take a look at a chandelier that she had been eyeing. I never realized how close she lived to the store (otherwise, I probably would have dropped by sooner!) but it was nice to take a quick unexpected trip to check out their lighting.
We came in for a chandelier, and left with a mirror! Isn’t that how it always works?
The store was beautiful. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into their vignettes.
Everything at the store seemed to be of great quality. There’s nothing worse than when you go to a new store (whose website merchandise you love) and then you come to find out that the merchandise in person is a huge disappointment!
This wasn’t the case with WSH at all. I was very impressed with how they presented their furniture and accessories. They even had refined music in the background to boot!
I am a regular to their website, so it was fun to come in at long last, and see those mysterious pieces that I’ve always wanted to view in person.
They were right in the middle of their “White Sale”– 25% off bedding and bed essentials and 15% off bath towels and rugs.
Half the store’s walls were covered in a warm colored grasscloth and the other half was painted a really pretty light neutral color. Of course I had to snoop and ask them what color the walls were (and the trim nonetheless!)
Turns out walls were painted Benjamin Moore’s Shaker Beige (HC-45) and trim was painted Benjamin Moore’s Navajo White (OC-95).
It was the perfect paint color to pose as the backdrop for all of their exquisite pieces.
They also had some great sales on furniture and accessories. The chair on the left hand side of the below photo was only $299!
There’s nothing more captivating than a bold orange wingback!
