Retropolitan has been on the move... 


The beloved, historic building that housed our store in 
mid-town Nashville's Hillsboro Village was torn down during the last year.  
After a lovely but temporary stay at the GasLamp Too, also in Nashville, 
my family and I decided to make a big move, a move that would
require putting the retail portion of Retropolitan on hold and
hauling ourselves and all of our belongings 900 miles north and west.

So...a big Retropolitan hello from Minneapolis, Minnesota!


It has been quite the year.  All of us Retropolitan stylists and artists have
embraced the new chapters in our lives.  We are all moving
toward new goals with amazing experiences and memories of three and a half
glorious years together under the Retropolitan sign together.  I couldn't be 
more humbled and thankful for all of the great opportunities that
came our way during that time.  Dreams were realized, careers were launched
and friendships were forged that will empower us and go with us
wherever we go throughout our lives.
Again, I'm thankful.
I'm also hopeful and anxious to wade through all the new opportunities and
resources that await here in Minneapolis/St. Paul.  Interiors will
certainly be a part of my new world here, although Retropolitan's retail
presence will wait in the wings for now.

Life is exciting.  Let's stay in touch, keep inspiring each other,
and share the exciting stuff together!

Beauty and blessings to you all!

Time to Deck the Dorms


Back to school means back to dorms and teeny tiny apartments.
Bleh.



Fear not! We can help!
Stop by Retropolitan and pick up a colorful lamp, inspiring piece of local art, 
some punchy pillows...and voila! 
Mission to turn shoebox into sweet new pad complete.


Here are some of my favorites on the floor right now :)











And don't forget... Our Fall Sale starts September 8th! 30% off the ENTIRE STORE!

Inspired by: Street Art

When traveling, I love taking to the streets with my camera. 
Maybe it's being in an unfamiliar setting, but everything just seems to inspire! 
Especially graffiti art. There's nothing like turning a corner and being 
stopped in your tracks by unexpected street art. 




Love this quote. And so true! 
 Sometimes things have to get really bad before they get really good. 
Trust Your Struggle



There's a certain "something" that is so alluring about graffiti art.

 Intensely bright colors. Massive size. Imperfections. Chaos! What's not to love?!






Like someone took a prim and proper painting, threw it in a blender, and then splattered it on a wall.
Fun!




 I am captivated by this Candice Sone painting. It's like polished, sophisticated graffiti on canvas. 
Love, love, love it! 






" Convergence " by Candice Sone
Currently on display (and for sale!) at Retropolitan.



So whether you're on vacation or just passing through an unfamiliar part of your home city,
be sure to stop and take a good look at your surroundings. 


I guarantee you'll be surprised and inspired by what you see :)
