There are so many lovely things about living in Rhode Island — the proximity to the ocean and its short drive to the mountains being just two examples. It would be hard to imagine living away from the ocean or not having easy access to the mountains.
However, one thing we really lack for my stimulation, is a big design presence. There are some wonderful makers and artisans that call Rhode Island their home, however the chic shops are scarce.
As such, it was so wonderful to be in Atlanta last week celebrating my client’s beautiful show house room she worked so hard to design, and it was equally wonderful to immerse myself in the many design shops and show rooms in Atlanta. The top of that list is Bungalow Classic, the brainchild of Randy and Courtney Tilinski. Close to two years ago they moved into their new space and it is absolutely SUBLIME. Every corner and vignette is beautifully curated, loaded with texture, whimsy, abstract art, a tented room, comfortable seating, pretty fabrics and even a secret room holding some antique pieces. It is abundantly clear that great care is taken to create and preserve their shop. It gave my heart and mind an extra dose of endorphins. I highly suggest a visit if you find yourself in Atlanta.
