A huge “Thank You” to everyone who toured Valhalla, bought treasures from the decorator’s rooms and from our boutique vendors! We loved meeting you all and sharing stories!

So many thanks to the hordes of hard working volunteers who made it all come together for our guests at Valhalla.

Thank you to the wonderful decorators who turned empty rooms and hallways into charming, luxurious, delightful visions!

Thanks to the vendors in our boutique! Each vendor offered unique items for sale, from vintage to chocolate to tea to hand crafted jewelry and decor…a great stop and shop after touring the house!

HEC’s 35th Decorator Show House is a wrap!
