Feels like home Apart from offering affordable cool and kitschy home accessories and furniture, Jen designed the store to be welcoming – like entering her home. “What stands out about Dwell Boutique is the personal experience we offer our customers,” she says. “It’s unique shopping. Anyone can have beautiful products, but what’s that worth if you don’t have a friendly atmosphere?”

Eco Dwell-ings While bringing big-city homewares to the area, Jen is planning an eco-lution for decor in Kingston. “Some of the furniture I sell is made from reclaimed hardwood – like pieces by G. Romano (from $400) – and many of the fabrics are earth friendly as well,” she says. “I’m also developing my own line of environmentally responsible furniture, integrating natural elements like wood and wool felt with industrial materials like raw steel. It’s important to try to preserve what we have left.”
