With her own book and regular magazine spreads featuring her work, interior designer Celerie Kemble may now be better known than her mother Mimi McMakin, but it was McMakin and her business partner, Brooke Huttig, who gave Kemble her roots in great taste. The two women, who have been decorating Palm Beach houses for decades are based out of a charming building on Hibiscus Avenue, which doubles as a retail shop. It features a selection of their custom furniture and beautiful objects as well as Kemble’s designs and fabrics.

She designs houses for a roster of discerning clients, and many of the lamps and objects that were inspired by those projects, she now reproduces or adapts to sell in her quaint shop off of Worth Avenue.

The cottage-like shop is packed with beautiful linens and housewares from European manufacturers as well as furniture, accessories and delicate baby clothes.

For the perfect hostess gift or kid’s present or place to find preppy decorative details such as monogrammed beach towels, cocktail napkins or even door mats with custom painted house motifs or initials, this is a delightful shop brimming with objects that beg for personalization. The owner will implement your own color choices or suggest fun ways to improvise. Wrapped Oreos with kids’ initial on top or lacquer boxes with glass covered needlepoint lids are just some of the treasures you can order.
