Serena & Lily Westport

| Bedroom Moment |

Serena & Lily have moved into Westport, CT and we couldn’t be happier! When I heard the news that they were setting up their Design Shop in the historic Kemper-Gunn house, a Westport landmark, I was counting the days until the doors opened. There are other options for retail space, but Serena and Lily wisely chose a home as the inspiring backdrop to create a real atmosphere to showcase their chic, yet very livable collection.

I arrived last weekend to meet up with Lauren who gave me a guided tour of the Design Shop. As we ascended the staircase to start “at the top” I couldn’t help but notice all the original artwork that adorned every wall. Lauren gave me a quick education about the art and shared a surprising tidbit about Serena Dugan, one of the co-founders. While we were chatting, Lauren would stop along the way to point out the numerous pieces of art that Serena had painted specifically for the Westport shop. Yes my friends, in addition to launching a hugely successful home and lifestyle brand, she’s a talented artist to boot. Her creativity oozes from every pore.

The Design Shop in Westport is their first full-home experience offering three floors of design inspiration while honoring the original details of the space. They have set up “moments” on each floor, giving patrons an honest impression of how their line of furniture, fabrics, rugs, lighting, artwork and accessories will look in a real space. They do offer a small selection of “cash and carry” items (bed linens, etc.), however, the Design Shop’s primary purpose is to provide design advice and services. Wondering what can a Design Advisor do for you?
