Situated in a restored two-story Greek Revival just off of Swiss Avenue, designer Sarah Hargrave’s first store, The Collective, is a treat for the eyes.
Inside, each room in the home has been transformed into a carefully-styled vignette, filled freshly lacquered or upholstered vintage furniture, small accessories from local artists, custom textiles, glamorous gold lighting, small potted succulents, and vintage Turkish rugs washed in pink or lavender. The fresh, feminine space also provided the perfect showcase for Dallas artist Jenn Thatcher, a friend of Hargrave’s whose abstract paintings often share the designer’s affinity for pastel hues.
