Christmas Décor is an international franchise with over 350 locations and Paulk Outdoors services the Henry, Clayton, Fayette and Coweta counties in Georgia. Annually Christmas Décor holds a conference for all franchises with this year’s conference being held at the Aria Spa and Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Paulk Outdoors received a distinctive award – “Best Small Commercial Design” for the 2012 holiday season. This award was for our holiday decorating display at Scarlett’s Retreat Day Spa located on Jonesboro Street just off the historic town square in McDonough, GA.  The award is of special meaning to Paulk Outdoors due to Scarlett’s Retreat’s rich history and significance within our company.

Decorating a building rich with historical elegance

Scarlett’s Retreat Day Spa was constructed in 1826 when McDonough was first incorporated and originally sat where the Welcome Center currently is located. The building was moved to its current location in the 1920’s. It was originally named the Globe Hotel and the sign still hangs on the building. Scarlett’s Retreat is one of only three buildings left in Henry County that still have the original log foundation. It is a certified historic building and is the oldest original building in the city. It is also rumored to have served as a confederate hospital during the Civil War. Paulk Outdoors is proud to decorate this unique building with an elegant holiday display that the community looks forward to each year for over a decade.
