The Story

Bunny Merchant’s career began in outdoor staging, where she spent years helping homeowners shape their spaces with intention and clarity. With a strong eye for design, she advanced through roles as manager, buyer, and lead designer, gaining a full understanding of product and process. Last year, she stepped into ownership, creating a store focused on transforming outdoor areas into welldesigned retreats built around comfort and quality, celebrating her first anniversary this past March at Patio Spaces. The boutique features premium furnishings from brands like O.W. Lee, Tropitone, Telescope, KNF Mosaic Tables, Woodard, Summer Classic’s, and Sunset West, with customizable options to fit each setting. Service remains a priority, with a hands-on approach and white-glove delivery. From January to October, the space centers on outdoor living, shifting in November into a curated holiday showroom with themed trees and décor—offering a seasonal experience grounded in the same level of detail and care.
