Ten stores sent in display pictures as submissions during the first week of the store display contest. I’ll randomly select a few entries to share on the blog. The Miller House, a home accessories store in Stephens City, Virginia, submitted this picture of a bed display from their shop. In addition to linens, the bed serves as display space for a variety of products including books and home fragrances.

Green Peck's Round Top Collection
