Katie Ridder wallpapers, John Stefanidis fabrics from England, Coleen and Company lighting, furniture and accessories collections are also represented. I am sure more lines will be on board once they see how well done the whole thing is.

No boring fabric wings to flip through here. By making their shop look like a great room you want to hang out in, Joe and Parrish have created a beautiful space. The feature wall contains fabric samples and ledges hold mounted squares showing wallcovering . They created a fresh way to look at fabrics with natural light. These designers are onto something good.

Coleen and Company's Tole Tent Lanterns light up an antique chest.



Pillows in niches flank the entrance doors- so alluring and easy to buy.



Lanterns hang from the ceiling, and a seating area provides a perch for perusing wallpaper books. Their Zinc Trestle Console can be customized as a cocktail or dining table.



A John Stefanidis print covers a darling slipper chair. Each time I see a cute slipper chair like this one, I want it.



Coleen and Company makes this fantastic concrete ottoman. Why not have tufted furniture outside? It can stand the rain.
