\u201cThe building itself is an object of art. I feel like it was meant for us,\u201d says\u00a0Diana Dolan<\/a>, owner of Porch<\/strong> (porchsb.com<\/a>), about her shop\u2019s new digs on\u00a0Summerland\u2019s Lillie Avenue<\/a>. The relocation to the larger space is her dream\u00a0come true for the unique home and garden store that she has operated in\u00a0Carpinteria for the past 12 years.<\/p>\n

Featuring furnishings, kitchen goods, textiles, bedding, jewelry, candles,\u00a0coffee-table books, succulents, and works by local artists, such as Pedro de\u00a0la Cruz, Will Pierce, Lety Garcia, Colette Cosentino, and Michael Haber, the\u00a0business is known for its thoughtfully curated space and inviting indoor\/outdoor vibe, and Dolan says the new location will embrace that same spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur soul remains true to our essence,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019re going to continue to\u00a0offer beautiful home and garden furnishings inspired by nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porch and other recent newcomers to Summerland\u2014Sweet Wheel\u00a0Produce, Field+Fort, and The Well\u2014join businesses like The Sacred Space,\u00a0Botanik, Garde, and Summerland Oriental Rugs in what is fast becoming\u00a0an exciting design destination. \u201cI think shoppers are looking for a real\u00a0connection to something heartfelt and soulful,\u201d says Dolan.<\/p>\n
