S24 E1 – High Point Market Fall 2019: Retail Isn’t Dead and Nick in the Lounge

Patina Vie's storefront

Setting the Space's storefront

Leon & Lulu's storefront

The Chaise Lounge is back from High Point Market. This week brings with it two episodes packed with everything Nick got up to in High Point. This week’s episode is one part Nick’s panel featuring successful independent retailers, Retail Isn’t Dead, and one part classic Nick in the Lounge. 

Nick’s guests on the panel include Sarah Willett of Patina Vie, Mary Liz Curtin of Leon & Lulu, Anne Rainey Rokhar of Trouvaille Home and the SnobShop and Blair Hamaty from Setting the Space. Each of these business owners work in different parts of the industry and different parts of the country, but they all have something to say about how running a store works for them. 

In the second portion of this episode, Nick kicks it in the Universal Designers’ Lounge with Hilary Farr from “Love It or List It,” home stager Bobbie McGrath of Successful Staging, DMc ID’s Drew McGukin and furniture designer Regan Hayes.

"If you buy an 18th century chiar, we've already stripped it down, made sure it's completely solid, we've reupholstered it, and made it so it can go straight into your house."
