High Point Adventures

Apr 25, 2011

 

Everyone thinks that going to Market is fun. It is also hard work... Up at 5am, catching a shuttle, walking all day, eating quick, bad food, returning to the hotel at 10pm and starting again the next day. And all this bookended by airline adventures.

I went through the hassles of TSA security, and on our return flight to Houston we held cold towels on a man lying in the airplane aisle as the return plane made an emergency landing...

Welcome to The Team, Seamus!

Aug 24, 2010

 

Seamus Kraham
Seamus Kraham
Showroom Manager
Galveston Frog At Home

Meeting Seamus Kraham for the first time is like seeing an old friend! Warm, knowledgeable, and friendly, Seamus has extensive experience in interior design, fashion, art, and much, much more.

After living and working for many years in the Bay Area, he loves being on the Island as the Manager of The Frog At Home. His new passion is working on a style which he calls "Soft Coastal Contemporary". Seamus explains, "This is the comfort you feel when you come home to the subtle colors of our beach, sky and water combined with plant and animal references. It uses clean lines as the frame to hold the natural influences together." Seamus invites Galveston to visit the 2701 Broadway showroom to see exciting new changes as they unfold.

Seamus adds, "The Beach Craft display also reflects a soft coastal look."

Solidly built of wicker and rattan, with extensive styles and over 100 fabrics available, it is perfect for the Island. The smaller scale and excellent value of Beach Craft means it fits into a variety of settings from high rise condos to new and re-modeled homes.

Drop by The Frog At Home, see the new Beach Craft furniture, and say hello to Seamus!

 

Summer in the City and on the Beach with The Frog

Jul 11, 2010

 

It's a little quieter in the city as Summer sends Houstonians hopping around the country and the world. However, we are busy at The Frog doing window fashions to cool homes with shades, shutters, drapes and such.


Our designers are also planning beautiful rooms with comfortable, quality furnishings for client homes.

Get a jump on Fall and let us refresh your home and windows while you relax by the pool.

Gulf-side, The Frog welcomes Summer and new friends to the store. We offer outdoor furniture including Green poly tables and chairs, indoor sofas, tables and coastal lamps for homes and condos. Listening to Surfer Music, guests visit the store to have fun and find new delights.

Join us! Hop in to either store and say "Hello."

The Frog Hopped to Big D in June!

Jul 01, 2010

 

Lynne and The Frog hopped to Dallas for Market in June. Why was it snowing???

We were buying for Christmas and the holidays... Santa was there and all of the reindeer! So were beautiful ornaments, decorations, candles, and pretty red cardinals to prepare for December.

No stopping the Frog when she found a great French sofa for the Fall and lots of Parisian decorations and accessories for the Houston store. Visit the Frog to catch the fever of France!

The Frog At Home in Galveston has new beach lamps, crab plates, dining tables, mirrors, and much, much more all from Market.

Hop in and see all of our new, unFROGetable things!

The Frog At Home Honors Mothers

May 03, 2010

 

Lynne and her daughter Lauren as a child

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 9th. This year will be our daughter's first Mother's Day as a mother of a wonderful, charming, beautiful baby boy. This is my first Mother's Day as a grandmother!


Although the day has become commercialized, I believe that it is important to mark the day for some of the hardest working people in the world... mothers.
