The Real Design Star


A couple of years ago I worked on a Design Home in Cohasset. Circle Furniture was designing the master bedroom, living room and dining room, using furniture designed by Candice Olson. The project was labor intensive, but boy did we have fun. Why, you ask?

Candice. We are lucky enough to sell a line of furniture designed by Candice Olson. If you're a fan of HGTV I'm not telling you anything you don't already know - Candice rocks! She has a show on HGTV called Divine Design. Her furniture lines are inspiring and eclectic; a perfect fit for Circle. She also happens to be a really nice, down-to-earth person. And tall. And super funny. The best part of the story is...drum roll please... she actually came to the opening of the Design Home. It was a sweltering hot summer afternoon and that Candice didn't complain once about the fact that there was no air-conditioning in the home. She signed autographs for, no lie, three hours straight...no break. No complaints. We love her furniture and we love her. Her fans do too. We had people lining up to get her autograph with gifts they had made for her. A beaded ring, a cool fabric belt, a shiny blue necklace. Must be nice to be a really popular designer, huh?

So if you haven't seen her show, check it out. Now she's a judge on the fun HGTV show Design Star. If you're interested in seeing her furniture lines, guess what? You can see them here at Circle Furniture. That's right, and you don't even have to bring us a beaded ring, a cool fabric belt OR a shiny blue necklace. Unless, of course, you want to!
