Holiday Shopping At Kirby and Company in Darien, Connecticut





Crossing Items Off Our Holiday Gift List 
With a Trip to Kirby and Company



take a break from the shopping with 
coffee and snacks at Kirby and Company  
 

 
  Today, we stopped into Kirby and Company for a little bit of cheer as well as some serious holiday shopping.  The newly expanded home and design store in the quaint shopping section of Darien, Connecticut, is delightful.  The staff is warm and welcoming, and from the moment you step  into this cozy shop, you feel the holidays are in full throttle.  This is one-stop shopping for your holiday needs, and Kirby and Company is chock-filled with a plethora of gift items to check off your holiday list.  We marveled at the selection of jewelry, accessories, note cards and other gift items, but also noted they provide great hostess gift options as well--from candles to artisan-made chocolates.  They also recently expanded the store and now offer a coffee and snack bar to take a break from the shopping.

Plus, a New Interior Design Studio 
at Kirby and Company... 



The newly added interior design studio helps make Kirby and Company even more interesting while giving customers a chance to create bespoke design products for the home.  They offer fabric and wallpaper by the yard, custom rugs, and even a new monogram service.   The staff encourages interior designers to bring their projects and clients in while offering them a bevy of artisan-made products not found elsewhere.  We at root cellar designs are proud that our fabric and wallpaper are represented in the studio. They also sell a great selection of ready-made items for the home--pillows, decorative trays, and unique art which they source from all over the world. 



I monogramed one of our root cellar designs' ready-made shower curtains at Kirby and Company.
It's a colorful, fun shop that takes the stress out of holiday shopping.  I encourage you to stop in to pick up holiday gifts and home decor items, and maybe sample a delicious cappuccino to top off the experience. In case you live far away, Kirby and Company sells many of their products in their on-line store as well, so head to their
Kirby and Company Gift Guide
 to shop online for some unique finds.
Happy Nesting
XO Tamara
