Holiday finds

Just in time to transform your home to its holiday finest, the newly opened Great Finds Gallery in Strongsville has stocked up on all things festive, including ornaments, pillows, trees and artwork, along with an impressive array of pumpkins for Thanksgiving decor.

“We offer everything needed to create a home that’s harmonious, intentional and well-loved,” says Owner Bill Brenner. 

Things you’ll find in the expansive shop include fine furniture, vintage collectibles, antiques, wall art, vases, sculptures, mirrors, tableware, wood signs, barware, jewelry and lighting charmingly staged for those who have a devout reverence for their home in mind. 

“This time of year, we’re bringing in holiday pieces, nature-inspired elements, woodland motifs and luxury delights in metallics and jewel tones,” says Bill. “Right now, the trend with decorative pumpkins, made in cozy textural materials like felt and velvet, is to place them under cloches for an upscale touch.”

Gallery walls are trending, too. The shop has a room devoted to wall art where they can help you put together your own wall of fame that balances sophistication and eye appeal.

“The style has evolved from matchy-matchy groupings to orchestrating an eclectic array of sizes, colors, shapes and styles that are reflective of the person,” he says.

Another hot designer trend—live edge tables—can be found here. Since Bill bought the woodworking equipment and wood to make them himself, the to-die-for tables are actually affordable.

Nothing says “come in and stay awhile” like an impossibly adorable greeter dog meeting you at the door. Six-year-old pug Otis checks that box with his tender tail wags and chipper demeanor.

Through his sister business, Great Finds Estate Liquidations, Bill and his longtime staff are also wizards at helping clients transition through life. They do everything from full or partial estates and online estate auctions to full-service clean-outs and moving services.

Great Finds Gallery is located at 12482 Prospect Road in Strongsville. For more information, call 440-638-4012 or visit GFEstateLiquidation.com or its Facebook page.
