Shop Local

Annapolis is not only rich in history, but rich in art and home furnishings. On our ‘field trip’ we found so many awesome local home furnishing stores. We enjoyed a great afternoon and found shopping in smaller stores low key and safe. No crowds, no lines and no waiting to see if on line purchases will work.

Patrice Drago

Kim Hovell

Starting at Maryland Hall, home to many local artists,we met with Patrice Drago. I first met Patrice back in 2016 when we both participated in the Annapolis Show House on Prince George Street. Patrice enjoys painting abstracts of nature, as well as urban environments and custom commissions. Featured here an abstract of sun-drenched marshes done with layers of metallic paints and glass beads to draw you in.

Kim Hovell at the top of West Street just off the Taylor Avenue Circle. Born and raised in Annapolis, Kim’s connection to the Chesapeake and love of East Coast lifestyle inspire her paintings. She is best known for her watercolor paintings of oysters, water life, and Annapolis landscapes. All are offered in original paintings, prints, pillows, candles and gifts.

Sherwin Williams Peel-and-Stick Samplize Sea Salt

Trends. Painting is an easy and inexpensive way to update and/or completely change the look of a room. Neutral colors are always on trend but what shade of neutral should you choose? I recently found these peel-and-stick color samples by Samplize. What a great way to test several colors in a room without having to purchase and paint as many colors on your walls. Shown here, Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams, is one of my favorite neutral colors. Is it green, gray, or blue green — this chamelion color looks different in every room depending on the light!
