Houston is getting a new, Black-owned furniture store, as several others close or move
Courtesy of Joani ScaffHome goods stores are constantly opening and closing, expanding or downsizing. The shifts can be big and sudden or more subtle and purposeful.
Shoppers can greet the highly curated taste of designer Joani Scaff at her new Paisley House location in the Heights as they say greet a new owner at Westheimer Plumbing and Hardware and say goodbye to Renovate in Spring Branch and RR Home at the Houston Design Center.
“Business is very robust, even with the longer lead times,” Hudson said. “People are making changes and enhancing their homes and designers are incredibly busy. I don’t see that slowing down. We had the best year we’ve ever had last year and this year is off to a great start.” She’s adapting inventory for a broader audience with a wider array of price points, carrying furniture, art, bedding and a variety of home accessories. She also carries wallpaper, which is almost impossible to find in a store right now.
“Marilyn told me I was the best server she’d ever had and asked me if I ever thought about doing something different,” Waguespack said, telling the story of his transition from waiter to plumbing salesman. “I said ‘Every day, I love sea bass but I’d rather not go home smelling like it.’”
