Introducing Debra Tufford! God's World Photography
Thursday, November 19th, 2009For most photographers, taking a beautiful image is the accomplishment of their art. Debra sees things a little differently and it surely makes her work unique. Her art is also an inspirational message. She finds a beautiful spot in nature, takes her shot and then she finds the perfect quotation to hand calligraphy on the matte. Saying that makes it sound easy and anyone who has ever tried to snap a photo knows there is much more to photography than that. To combine the photography with the perfect inspirational quote and then to hand calligraphy that message on the matte makes her work unique and very special.
'Consider The Lillies'
Her photo with it’s inspirational matte is framed in a georgeous custom made hardwood frame, courtesyof her husband. These frames are beautifully put together. Got to love a man with skills!
'Living Water'
Come see more of Debra’s beautiful work in our shop at the Factory at Franklin, TN
New Artist: Craig McDonald!
Saturday, October 31st, 2009Craig McDonald is a self-taught artist, born and raised in Nashville. He works mainly in steel and stainless steel, often incorporating other materials such as marble, wood, stone, and fabrics into his work. Much of his art is contemporary or modern in design and ranges along the scope of functional to purely sculptural. And without further ado, here’s a sample of his work that’s available at Adornments! Stop by and check them out!!
Melt - steel 29x30x20"
This piece is very fun- can be placed on a table or on the floor or can even be mounted on the wall!
Warp - steel 14x9x12- Sorry! Can't have this one! It has already sold! 
Fun from every angle, this sculpture adds a special touch to any room- looks gorgeous by a fireplace!
Offset Table - steel/marble/glass 26x32x48"
Very modern, this table could set the tone for a whole room! Sturdy and beautiful, this piece is sure to impress.
Zig Zag Wine Holder - steel 24x18x5"
A great gift, this wine holder will give you a place to store your featured wines with properly moistened corks without having to hide them away in a wine cellar!
Made from steel, this wine holder will give you a way to store and display that is sturdy as well as elegant.
Exploded Triangle - steel 14x6.5x8"
Unusual, edgy and fun- this sculpture is perfectly suited to add interest to tight spaces either at home or the office!

Adornments' Magnificent Sign!
As the pictures show- this party was fantastic! The new, improved, more centralized location for Adornments in the Factory At Franklin is gorgeous! The art was beautiful, the jewelry dazzling, the invitations magnificent and the clothing stunning. Add to that a party atmosphere created by Margaret Tolbert of “Details by Margaret” event planning, delectable foods by “Busy Bees” catering, to-die-for chocolates from Schakolad in Cool Springs, fun games and even better prizes and you get a night that was an unabashed success!

Come one and all to enjoy the new and improved Adornments!
And we're finally open!!
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Lest you start to think that we’ve abandoned you all or succumbed to laziness due to our recent lack of postage…let me reassure you that we have not forgotten our loyal blog followers!! We’ve merely been trapped under heavy piles of lumber behind buckets of paint.. But we’re finally free again!!! So we invite you to view our journey from upstairs at the Factory at Franklin to our shiny, new location just off the commons area- DOWNSTAIRS (yes, still at the Factory)!!
So, just in case you for some unknown reason were unable to visit us previously, this is what the shop used to look like..
Our old store upstairs at the Factory at Franklin
And this is what the new space looked like before its magical transformation into Adornments-land.
Of course, this just wouldn’t do! It all had to go!
Women at Work!
Nothing says construction like a girl posing with a ladder in front of a shop covered in brown paper.

The first thing to go- the black wall!
The painting crew!
Thankfully our families were willing to chip in to help us out!! Thanks everyone!!!
So, finally, after much painting, constructing, organizing, etc… Voila!
Our new gallery!
We are now open for business! Please stop by and visit us at the Factory!
Adornments is moving… downstairs!
Saturday, July 11th, 2009That’s right- Adornments gallery is moving downstairs in the Factory at Franklin in August- so we should be that much more easy to find! We will be just off the common area next to Constant Craving (yes, we will now smell tasty food all day long… ahhh so good…)!
We're moving!
Look out for updates as we track the process of designing and decorating our new space!
It's Almost Here!

Studio/Retail Space for Local Artists/Craft Artists
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009Adornments is looking to expand into The Loft at the Factory at Franklin
The Loft
a lofted space off of the common area in the main building.
View from The Loft
This space can be seen from the ground floor from many restaurants and shops and is directly across from the Southgate Gallery. Our goal is to provide artists and craft artists with studio and retail space; providing the community with the opportunity to see artists at work and purchase artisan goods as well as a place for artists to work and sell their creations. We do want any artists who take a space there to actually be there regularly (not necessarily every day, but several days a week). In exchange for rent (price is based on the size of the studio space (5×5-10×10) that is desired ranging from $320 to $400 per month or more), we will provide the artists with the following:
1. Studio Space (artists will have access to their studio space 24 hours a day)
2. Advertisement in various publications (Tennessean, VIP Magazine, etc)
3. Advertisement on our website (Adornments-Online.net)
4. Retail opportunity- use of our credit card machine at no cost to the artist. (i.e. we will not take a commission for works that are sold by the artist whether the artist is present at the time of sale or not) The Loft will be open for business during regular store hours (most likely: Tuesday – Thursday 10am-5pm and Friday/Saturday 10am-6pm) and an Adornments staff member will be present to process any credit sales during those times (again at no cost to the artist).
In order to make this venture possible, we need at least four artists to commit to taking studio space there within the next month. If you are interested, please e-mail AdornmentsOnline@gmail.com with The Loft in the subject heading. Tell us your medium, how much space you think you need, when you would want to move in and start working, and please include a couple pictures of your work if you can. We do want there to be a variety of different styles and media so our selections will be based on ability of the artist to create on site, quality of work and diversity of the space (i.e. we won’t pick all painters or all weavers).
We look forward to hearing from you!

A Successful Adornments Wedding- Us!

Abdul and Alexis' Wedding Feature on Ashley's Bride Guide
As many of you know, we got started down the path of wedding work when we discovered the addictive power of planning my (Alexis) wedding late last year. Well, for those of you wondering just how that first trial went, our wedding is currently being featured on two wedding blogs!! Ashley of Ashley’s Bride Guide as well as Amy from Williamson County Weddings and CJs off the Square both wrote articles on our wedding this week (I know- how loved are we?!)! So, once again thanks to everyone who chipped in to make our wedding so great! I’m sure that Laura’s upcoming wedding will be even more of a triumph! So check out our features at Wilcowed Blogspot and Ashley’s Daily Scoop! And a big thanks to Ashley for putting us up on her blog! Yay!
