Remember the home decor parties?

JoyGal · 06-17-2016, 06:25 PM

Back in the early and mid 90's, my mother used to go to some home decor parties. I loved looking at the catalogues. They would have entire displays then you could buy each piece. So like there would be a beautiful framed picture then there would be wall sconces and silk flowers or plants and perhaps a pretty shelf with candles or book ends...

Does something like this still exist?

I'm redecorating the living room and need just some extra inspiration. Plus, I really liked this catalogues

Southern Living? or was it Southern Living at Home?

JoyGal · 06-17-2016, 07:44 PM

I don't think so.

It was like a Tupperware party. My mother had ordered a couple really nice framed pictures and the party host earned points I think.

Whichever one I am thinking of was like that, too. I know there's a Southern Living magazine but this was a different company. I found out online the name has been changed to Willow House http://hostapartyonline.com/willow_house.htm

Home interior was the one my mom bought from.

I was going to say Home Interior too.

My oldest sister's house was pretty much all Home Interiors.

. It was pretty though.

My mom mentioned a company recently called Mary & Martha. I'd never heard of it before.

There's also Princess House (lots of glass things) and Party Lite (mostly candles).

My mom got decor magazines every single month they came out. She had years and years (and years) of issues when she cleaned her basement two summers ago. Like from 1993 years and years ago!

Home Interior... that brings back memories! My mom and her friends always had those parties in the '80s!
