Casual Coastal Furnishings
You no longer have to go far for unique gifts, pottery, accent pillows or home furnishings. Word of mouth is traveling fast about this gem of a store in Englewood.
Many have driven past the aquamarine old Florida-style building with white trim on Placida Road, promising themselves that one day they will stop in. Once they do, they are astounded by what they find, and exclaim to the staff how they wish they had done so sooner!
Stepping through the inviting entrance to the store, you are cordially greeted by the staff. With fans lazily cooling the air, your first impression is that you are walking into a private residence. The bounty of merchandise is professionally arranged to mimic actual rooms in a home, each room comprised of coordinating furniture, lamps and accessories. It takes a minute to realize this space is actually a store, and everything you see so perfectly displayed is for sale! Next you are pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices.
Whether you want a special piece, wish to refresh an existing interior design, or complete a new home, you can find an abundance of one-of-a-kind furnishings and accessories at Southern Design Living. You will want to spend time browsing every inch of the store so you won’t miss a thing.
If you’re looking for quality outdoor furniture, area rugs or cushions, and don’t see what you want on display, you have only to ask the friendly, knowledgeable staff and they will be happy to share their catalogs that contain many other options.
Other services offered by SDL include, free gift wrapping, free local delivery, a design room used for customer consultations, and reasonably priced decorating services.
Michelle Sears, owner and creator of SDL, has boundless energy and ideas. Her latest creation is an outdoor screened-in room. She designed it to be modular in construction; so, by simply changing the panel configuration, many sizes become available to suit any location. She has one example on display in the garden area that is set up as a potting shed complete with ceiling fan, lights and a sink.
The lush, tropical walled-in garden is another thing that sets this store apart from others. Here you will find outdoor furniture, pottery, a fish pond complete with waterfall, a fabulous outdoor stainless kitchen, and more. A meandering path between the palms leads to a vine-covered gazebo, an outdoor fireplace, and the potting shed.
Along with many exciting new products, Southern Design Living will be introducing their own line of hand-painted furniture this spring. Custom finishes will also be available.
New merchandise is received weekly, and the store displays change often. So, if you are in the market for truly unique furnishings that will give your home that custom designer look while being easy on the pocketbook, visit Southern Design Living and you, too, will become a regular.
