Two years?! It feels both like yesterday and forever ago that I was sitting in the city, talking with Robert about opening a store. It even feels like I was just reflecting on our first year open. So two years… wow! Honestly, the second year was a blast! So much wallpaper, miles of rugs, new design projects, endless hours of having Robert help me move the store around because I had an idea… It has been busy, inspiring, exciting, and absolutely fabulous! I owe all of this to every one of you. Relationships that started two years ago have bloomed into lifelong ones. We have also met so many exiting new friends over the past year. The store...
The holiday rush is wrapping up and before we all start celebrating with family and friends, I want to send a thank you to all of you. This has been a wild year: We expanded, grew, evolved, and met amazing new friends along the way. All of this was possible entirely because of your constant support, motivation, and encouragement. A lot of people claim that customers are also their friends, but how lucky am I to be able to really mean it?! The store has become a place where we can all catch up, gossip, laugh, meet new people, and just have fun. I have loved all the dinners at Mountain View, martinis at Champetre, and impromptu nights at the...
I cannot believe it has been a year. This time last year I was so nervous: would people like Demeter Home… is Pine Plains the right choice… do I have enough inventory to even open? I wish I could have told myself what I would be thinking a year later. Opening Demeter Home has been a dream. It hasn’t always been easy, but I have loved every minute. Pine Plains was the exact right place to be and I love being part of this community. I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people and they have all welcomed me and my family with open arms and lots of humor. Demeter Home started with almost an empty store. We...
It’s official: The wall is down and Demeter Home doubled in size! Well, almost… just a few more fishing touches, some paint, and a little time to reorganize. If you are around this weekend, come see the new space! This new space gives us the room for larger furniture pieces and a greater variety of everything. Wait until you see some of the new items! Couches, tables, desks, dishes, art… so much is planned for the new space. My favorite new piece is a couch that is delayed (like everything today), but it will be an amazing addition in September! Over the next few weeks the space will be filling up and we will be hosting an expansion party in...
Now is the time to visit Pine Plains: The Stissing House, Rosey's, Chapmetre, Lia's Mountain View, Gallery and Goods, the Stissing Center, A New Leaf Bookstore, Demeter Home!
