Hilltop in Rosseau has Christmas Interior decorating ideas

    Rosseau’s newest shop, Hilltop Interiors Inc., is having its first Christmas this year, and is all decked out to celebrate. Situated across from the General Store in Rosseau, Hilltop plays host to a Christmas Open house this upcoming weekend, November 24 and 25, held at the same time as the village’s Antique show.

  “I love Christmas,” says owner Lena Patten, “so I may have gone a little overboard, but I try to have something for everyone”, she explains. “I am keeping things rustic for Christmas, -- the outdoors being brought in.” Patten says. “There are twiggy kinds of trees and very natural decorations using pinecones and berries.”

  “And there are stocking stuffers and gift ideas for the kids, such as a soap with a globe inside when the kids are finished using the soap.”

  Located in one of the Rosseau’s older buildings, Hilltop opened just last May in time for the Victoria Day weekend, after a complete renovation by Lena’s husband, Randy. 

  It’s not the first time the Hilltop name was used for the building, which has seen a long and varied history, including a fire. Lena used the Hilltop name again to preserve some of the history.

  Boasting both unique and traditional pieces for sale, Hilltop has everything from home furnishings, such as sofas, beds, tables and hutches, to accessories such as bedding, lamps and special platters to antiques and local art, with prices ranging accordingly. “I try to make it a one-stop, decorating shop,” states Lena.

  With a background in art and interior design, and experience as a consultant, Lena brings a good art and business mix to the store, as well as a personal touch.

  “I try to make the place cozy, with candles lit and a plate of goodies. It’s not just to get into the Christmas spirit but also to create a welcoming atmosphere.”

  Hilltop Interiors is located in the Village of Rosseau on Highway #141.

  The Open House is this weekend, November 24th and 25^th, from 9-5 Saturday and 10-4 Sunday. During the week they are open Mondays to Thursdays 9 to 5 and Fridays 9 to 7. For more information call 705-732-4040.
