Sneak Peak: Modern Chic Home

I've been mentioning my upcoming online design shop, Modern Chic Home, for a few months now and I wanted to give you an update on the website launch and a sneak peak at what I'll be selling! Owning a retail store or online shop has always been something I've dreamed about. I decided to make that dream a reality just a few short months ago - my, how time flies! This whole journey has been much more work (and stress) than I anticipated, but it's been so much fun shopping and researching and learning all about running an online store. I can't wait to share it with you and to give you the opportunity to explore the shop!

Modern Chic Home isn't going to be just another online retail store - it will be about giving you, the customer, a remarkable shopping experience. As an interior designer, I want to be able to reach out to my customers and share everything I know about design, trends, color, etc. To do this, I will have a "Shop the Look" feature, where I'll put together different design looks and color schemes, incorporating items I'm selling in the shop. I'll have a "Design Tips" section which will offer advice on all sorts of design topics. And another feature I'm going to introduce is "Personal Shopper" - send me a photo of an area you're challenged with and I'll send you suggestions with items from my shop that might work! Here's a little sneak peak at what's in the shop...


Modern Chic Home will offer accessories, wallpaper, artwork, mirrors, lighting and much more! I'm hoping to launch the site in 2 weeks...stay tuned for more details.

  14. Julie, this looks great!! The "personal shopper" idea is very clever, and your "shop the look" must be much easier than the magazine variety (because they pick stuff from all over the place whereas you've got all in one place: your shop)
    Good luck with the last couple of weeks before the launch!!
    Nice sneak peek (and the cupcake pedestals are super cute)
