Lakewold Designer Showhouse April 3 – 21

Exciting event for Drees! We have been working overtime this past month preparing for the Lakewold Gardens Designer Showhouse. David has been asked to design and furnish the Master Suite. The work is a collaboration of David Bettencourt Goularte Interior Design with furnishings supplied by Drees. The event benefits Mary Bridge Hospital of Tacoma, Washington State Chapter of ASID, and the lovely Lakewold Gardens. 

For us at Drees, this is an opportunity to show what we can do for your home, and to show more of what we can offer  you through Drees.  The room will be featuring exquisite upholstery from Hickory Chair combined with hand picked accent pieces and custom drapery. David and Drees have had many years of projects together.  We would love to hear what you think. If you go, be sure to allow some time to see the lovely gardens.  

Postcards from Drees will be going out this week with the opportunity to win two design hours with David.  We will have extra copies in the shop.  Should be fun for everyone! 

For more information on the ShowHouse hours, directions, etc go to  http://www.lakewoldgardens.org/

Beds 101 – a class about the mattress

 
We believe, everyone deserves a good night’s sleep.
 
If you have been into Drees this last Fall and Winter, you may have noticed that we have a mattress displayed on our floor.
 
Many of you have said that you are curious and confused about all the bed options available today. We took your queries to heart, and are having a “how beds are made” day.

You will hear from Tom Sarkala, who has been in the home furnishings business for 30 years. He will explain how most beds are made, most importantly, what they are made of (most with polyurethane), and how true quality mattresses are constructed today. He has a vast knowledge of the bed industry, and will share the history and construction of the Royal-Pedic and other true quality mattresses. If you think you may buy another mattress in this lifetime, this class is for you. You will be a more educated consumer.
 
Everything you ever wanted to know about beds!
Friday, February 1st 
Tom will talk at 2:00 and 6:00
Please reply to: paul@dreesofolympia.com or 360.357.7177

Candles for the Holidays

As we get ready for the Holidays, I wanted to share a few words about our candles. One favorite is Creative Candle, a basic at Drees long before I owned the shop for one very simple reason: their quality.  Trained artisans have handcrafted each Creative Candle in small batches for almost 50 years. They are made from the finest blend of waxes to create an exceptional-performing candle. Not mass produced, the candles are dripless, and the burn time is close to an hour per inch. The taper sizes range from 6″ to 39.”  The 24″ and 30″ are two of our favorite tall candles. We sell mostly ivory because of the luminescence, but we also love the seasonal colors and will special order any of their spectacular colors for you.

 

 Bayberry Candles are another Drees Holiday favorite, made in limited batches for the season.Traditionally, Bayberry candles given as a gift and burned to the nub on Solstice, Christmas, or New Year’s will bring health, wealth, friends and good luck in the coming yearhttp://bayarcadedental.com.au/viagra-australia/. Bayberry wax comes from boiling the berries and skimming off the precious wax coating.

 

Back by popular demand, our 100% rolled beeswax candles. Taper candles as well as fabulous pillars. We especially love the beeswax votives.

 

We wish all of you a very special Thanksgiving.

We will be open at 9 am Friday morning with hot coffee and sweets — for those who are not midnight shoppers, or maybe after midnight shopping!

 

We are celebrating Small Business Saturday on the 24th.  Open from 10 – 6.

“Downtown for the Holidays” is Sunday the 25th from noon until 5.
