OP Jenkins Furniture Store - Treasure Within a Treasure


I had the neatest experience shopping for office furnture for The Bridal Suite.  I'll admit it, I'm a West Knoxville kind of girl.  Everything I could possibly need is on Kingston Pike.  In fact, other than weddings, which cause me to drive all over creation, I rarely have the need or desire to venture downtown.

Well, one store has changed all that.  Stacy and I covered West Knoxville last week in search of furniture for The Bridal Suite.  We found things that would work and some were better than others, but nothing made our hearts soar. 

At my friend Amy's urging, we visited OP Jenkins on Summit Hill Dr, and I immediately fell in love.  I loved the little parking area out front, the nostalgic vintage sign, the old wooden floors & especially the old fashioned elevator with the metal grate door.  Interior Designer, Barrie Fisher, took us to floor after floor of beautiful and unique furnishings as we tried out chairs and sofas and oohed and aahed over pieces we didn't need, but wanted anyway.

That night, I lay awake in bed as visions of furniture danced in my head.  That's OK though, I'm going back today to make my final decision.  Can't wait to see what my fabric options are - I'm so excited!
