BUSINESS BUZZ
FACE TO FACE OPENS HOME STORE After 10+ years in the wholesale industry, shipping coast to coast daily with clients like Joanna Gaines and Southern Living, Face to Face Designs, a small local family-run business and maker of thoughtful home goods and gifts, is now opening a retail door: Face to Face Home. Continuously expanding design lines include reclaimed wood and textiles and represent a mix of coastal climates, sometimes with a Scandinavian touch. Visitors to the showroom in Atlanta say that space feels so happy and peaceful that they just want
to sit and take it all in. This is the atmosphere they hope they’ve recreated in the new lifestyle store – a place you can come in, browse, and let the designs speak to you. While the store contents are 90% locallycreated Face to Face products,
there are also some smaller product lines they love. From gifts for weddings to housewarmings, and babies to birthdays, you can always find something unique. Stop in the new store at 1806B Frederica Road or visit facetofacedesigns.com.
