apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Who says we don't need another Chanel store?

I was on Filmore street here in SF recently and saw that the Smith Hawken here was closed too.

It's sad, but I rarely spent much money there anyway...

Our Smith and Hawken near Hartford CT is still open. While they are expensive and not entirely useful, it is still great to visit the store on a raw late winter afternoon for encouragement and inspiration, especially here in New England.

I fell in love with decorating in Ralph Lauren's Madison Avenue store. It was in the heyday of country and his take was exquisite. Old painted furniture and beautiful vintage fabrics. This was before cows and watermelons became central themes of "country" thremed decorating.

I love the Smith & Hawken shop on Broadway, what a shame!

you can always visit your local target for smith and hawken merchandise (sadly, the brand seems to be undergoing a major shift in strategy... downstream.)
