ELEVATE Your Home Décor
Lynnette Stack of ELEVATE Home Décor (across the street from Al’s Market at 3560 Somerset) home to specialty items, many of which are hand crafted by small businesses and local artists.
Lynnette Stack has given us another reason to stay in town. Her new gift store ELEVATE Home Décor is so much fun to peruse. You’ll want to stay a while, as every surface is chock full of specialty items, many of which are hand crafted by small businesses and local artists. Lynnette opened her store in April and doubled the square footage in October.
She describes her enterprise as a community effort, always having an eye on sustainability. She reached out to local groups collecting shelving, display cabinets and armoires giving ELEVATE an eclectic look.
Paintings, sweatshirts, throws, jewelry, plants, “I try to think of unusual gifts,” shared Lynnette. “This shop is a compilation of all the things I love, and my absolute favorite is sharing the excitement with my vendors when their items sell. When you shop at ELEVATE, you truly are supporting local families.” Customer Jacquie Eltrich describes ELEVATE as “extraordinary, original and irreverent.”
Lynette is proud of her vendors and knows many of them personally. Look for cards by fine artist Ann Mahoney Mason and CVHS senior Jaina M. These painted greeting cards are original art, worthy of framing. Additional hand stamped cards by Sending Sunshine offer a range of styles. There is a great selection of homemade soaps by Dayna Speed and Baptista Baking Company as well as pottery by Michael Scott of Forty Potter and candles by Earth Conscious Crafts. These candles are sold in beautiful hand poured containers. Once the candle has burned, it can be returned and refilled at ELEVATE for a nominal fee.
Additional local artists contribute jewelry, resin trinkets and stamped greeting cards. Lynnette turned the sun-drenched front room of ELEVATE into a greenhouse, filled with beautifully arranged succulent and air plant gifts and small, easy to manage houseplants. She is happy to discuss their care too. For the holidays there are gourmet hostess gifts and stocking stuffers galore, including old fashioned French and Italian candies difficult to find elsewhere. Ask about the bamboo children’s dishes.
