When Jill Rinner and Chantelle Deimling were hunting for the right location to open their chic home good store, they knew exactly what they were looking for.
“We definitely wanted to have that feel of a downtown that is funky and eclectic,” says Rinner. “
Williamston had the vibe. Its’ been a perfect fit.”
Having a clear vision has been the driver for the women, who came up with the idea for their store,
Bungalow 47, over lunch in April (on 4/7, to be exact) and opened their doors last week.
“We’re the type of girls who just jump in the pool,” says Rinner. “We ended up purchasing this building. It needed some charm.”
The women refinished the approximately 1,500 square feet of retail space with floor made of local reclaimed barnwood and completely renovated the building’s facade. The now open Bungalow 47 offers vintage, refurbished and new furniture and home items.
“We have great pieces, some that we’ve price super cheap, and then we have some amazing, one-of-a-kind pieces that are exclusive,” Rinner says.
Thus far, the response from the community has been just was the women we hoping for.
“We’ve already had a few people as when we’re going to open a second location,” says Rinner.
A grand opening event is planned to take place some time in October.
