Vintage Scout bringing slice of Paris to festival

Oakwood residents Debbie Basnett, Dana Hookassian and Jean Winham, who own Vintage Scout Interiors in downtown Centerville, are bringing Paris flavor to the Dayton area Sept. 27 for Centerville’s Art in the Heart festival. They have aptly named their contribution to the community-wide event “Art in the Heart of Paris—Centerville Style.”

“We thought, ‘Why not bring a slice of Paris here to our clients in Ohio,’” said Winham, who, like Basnett and Hookassian, has lived abroad and enjoyed the colorful flea markets of France and outlying areas.
The Scouts will have complimentary French-inspired hors d’oeuvres and beverages on hand to whet the appetites of those who have traveled to—or at least yearn to—Europe and experienced its design savvy. Décor inspiration also will be shared.

A wide array of original artwork, available exclusively through Vintage Scout, from the Atlanta area will be displayed and available for purchase that day. The women will showcase American and European vintage items, antiques, furniture, and art; and modern interior accents, lighting, candles and more.

The “Art in the Heart of Paris-Centerville Style” event is free to the general public and will run from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27.

Vintage Scout Interiors is located at 60 N. Main Street in Centerville. For more info, contact Vintage Scout Interiors at 937.312.9461 or visit the web site at www.vintagescout.com. Shop hours are from 10 to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
