Fox & Pheasant Expands Exponentially

Fox & Pheasant Expands Exponentially

By Leonard Shapiro

The Fox & Pheasant in Boyce now offers total design service under one roof.

Hard by the railroad tracks in bucolic Boyce sits the newly expanded Fox & Pheasant, a delightful one-stop shopping and gift destination for all things design, both interior and exterior, including the services of immensely talented proprietors Michael Biddy and his long-time partner, Scott Davis.

They opened the business four years ago and this past winter, they expanded their original 800-square foot space to the current 2,500 square feet.

“We now have everything all under one roof,” said Biddy. “Our design center is now right here. It’s all very convenient, and we’re thrilled the way it’s all turned out.”

Biddy is a Georgia native who describes himself as a frustrated fashion designer who studied history in college then began working “for a lot of great people in the interior design business and learned it from the ground up.” Davis also has a degree in interior design.

Atlanta was Biddy’s home base for more than thirty years, then it was on to Beaufort, South Carolina for several more until they moved to nearby Stephens City to be closer to Davis’s family in Virginia.

They opened the Fox & Pheasant in Boyce when a friend told them about the building, she thought would be an ideal spot for their business. Years ago, the building had originally been the town’s post office and later served as a dry goods store.

The shop remains filled with antiques, Oriental rugs, and attractive home accessories, from tiny crystal figures to beautiful lamps. Their design center was based at their Stephens City home until the recent expansion in Boyce put everything together under one roof.

“We are a full service interior design business,” Biddy said. “We can help with the paint, the wall coverings, the carpeting, flooring, furniture, the draperies, anything within your four walls. We also can be “Decorating Light”—do it yourself if you don’t want the full blown service. We can offer you a lot or a little, depending on what people’s needs are.”

On the outside, they’ve also expanded their garden area to include native plants, flowers and shrubs.

The Fox & Pheasant at 114 East Main Street in Boyce is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. the-fox-pheasant. business.site
