By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on December 2008 The November grand opening of the Boston-area Susan Thomas Home store in Needham, Mass., also marked the retail debut Habersham Home Gallery, the first of several independently owned Habersham Home retail boutiques, galleries and to-the trade showrooms scheduled to open over the next two quarters.

The next is Habersham Feathers, the first complete Habersham Home Store, which will open in Scottsdale, Ariz., in January. In addition, a Habersham Home trade showroom recently opened in Dallas and another Habersham Home retail store is scheduled to open early next year in Atlanta.

The Susan Thomas Home store display brings together a full range of Habersham’s handcrafted antique reproduction furniture, custom kitchen and bath cabinetry designs and other home accents to showcase Grand European and Grand American Casual lifestyle looks.

“Susan Thomas Home isn’t just another furniture store, but a totally new lifestyle experience,” said Susan Fiore, who co-founded the new store with her husband and other half of the store namesake, Thomas Fiore. “We’ve designed the store around the way people want to live today. Habersham’s meticulously hand-styled furniture, custom cabinetry designs and versatile finish options can bring a wonderful sense of casual elegance and sophisticated style to today’s home. As customers walk through the space, they’ll discover unexpected ideas and lifestyle looks that they can easily bring into their own homes to reflect their own sense of style.”

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Susan and Thomas Fiore to open New England’s first Habersham Home lifestyle store concept,” says Tom Skipper, vice president of sales for Habersham, Toccoa, Ga. “Our line has evolved significantly over the years and the fabulous Susan Thomas Home space certainly showcases how our versatile furniture styles, finish options and custom cabinetry designs can all work together to bring a Grand European or Grand American Casual lifestyle into today’s home.”
