I love how the wood “frames” the wallpaper and bed. Next up, adding plates. 😍

I know one of the things people are curious about with Dish Camp is the cost… so I wanted to share exactly what’s included and the thought process behind it. 💙

Dish Camp isn’t a conference, hotel retreat, or large event. It’s a very small, intentionally personal getaway weekend hosted in our home for only 3 guests at a time.

The cost for Dish Camp is: ✨ $625 per person ✨

That includes:
💙 3 nights lodging
💙 A signature cocktail/mocktail and light snacks upon arrival
💙 Light breakfast Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings
💙 Dinner together Friday and Saturday evenings
💙 Transportation to Monroe antique shops and metro Atlanta estate sales
💙 Hands-on inspiration and learning sessions focused on color, pattern, and layering
💙 Supplies for playing and creating in the Dish Room
💙 A cozy, small-group experience with fellow dish lovers
💙 Plenty of table talk, treasure hunting, creativity, and time together Lunches while we’re out shopping are not included, along with any antiques or treasures you decide to bring home.

To reserve your spot:
💙 $150 reservation deposit per guest
💙 Remaining balance due 5 days before arrival

Because weekends are intentionally very small and space is limited, reservation deposits are non-refundable, but they may be transferred to another guest if something unexpected comes up.

Honestly, my goal for Dish Camp is for it to feel less like an “event” and more like a getaway weekend with friends or family who love beautiful tables, antiques, dishes, and creativity as much as you do.

Reservation details and booking information will be shared next week, and reservations officially go live June 1.

I’m also looking at options for those who would love to attend Dish Camp but don’t already have a group of friends or family to come with. 💙

And for those who may not be able to make the full weekend getaway work, I’m also exploring smaller one-day workshops focused on color, pattern, layering, and playing in the Dish Room.

If Dish Camp sounds like your kind of weekend… I truly cannot wait to welcome y’all.

It’s getting a little greener here… 💚

This gorgeous shade is Sherwin Williams “Grasshopper” and y’all… I cannot wait to show you where I used it. 🥳

It added the perfect pop of fresh color to a project I’ve been working on lately… and I think you’re going to love it. 🍾

“Patience, Grasshopper.” 🦗

You have to check back tomorrow for the reveal! 👀

Did you know you can actually train your Facebook Marketplace feed to show you the kinds of things you’re on the hunt for? 👀

Right now my FBMP feed is basically a dream mix of pagodas, geisha girl art, chinoiserie, ginger jars, bamboo furniture, and fabulous lamps… all because I’ve been searching for pieces for the guest rooms.

And look what I just picked up! 💗

The soft pink blossoms, touches of blue and green, and that gold frame immediately felt perfect for the room. It has that collected, layered feel I love so much and fits beautifully with the Famille Rose inspiration. 💚🩷

If you want your Marketplace feed to start showing more of what you love, start intentionally searching for terms like:
• chinoiserie
• pagoda
• ginger jar
• bamboo furniture
• Famille Rose
• vintage lamps
• brass accents
• tole

The more you search and click on certain styles, the more Facebook starts serving up similar treasures.

Before long your feed feels like your own personal antique market. 💕

One of the questions I’ve been getting about Bradley Acres Dish Camp is… “Why only 3 guests?”

Well honestly… because y’all are coming to our HOME. 💙

Dish Camp isn’t being held at a hotel or retreat center. We’re inviting a small group of fellow dish lovers into our home for a cozy weekend of estate sales, antiques, beautiful tables, and lots of playing in the Dish Room.

Our home has three guest bedrooms, so a group of three is truly ideal for keeping the experience comfortable, relaxed, and personal.

The bedrooms are upstairs on the top level of our three-level home, while the Dish Room is downstairs on the bottom level… so yes, there will definitely be some stair climbing involved!

The room setup works like this:

💙 The Famille Rose Room
💙 The Devonshire Room
share a Jack & Jill bathroom

💙 The Blue Willow Room
uses the same bathroom through the hallway

And while there’s one main bathroom upstairs for the guest rooms, there are additional bathrooms available downstairs if needed.

More than anything, I want Dish Camp to feel like a fun getaway weekend with family or friends… a relaxed few days filled with treasure hunting, table talk, laughter, and creativity.

So Dish Camp is really designed for:
💙 best friends
💙 sisters
💙 mothers & daughters
💙 small groups of friends who love dishes and beautiful tables

The intent is for groups to attend together rather than individual registrations. Think of it as planning a getaway weekend centered around antiques, estate sales, and the Dish Room.

We are looking at options for growth in the future, but even then I want to keep Dish Camp centered around small groups and personal experiences.

Because honestly… the magic is in gathering around the table together. 💙

✨ Reservations open June 1 ✨
