If you’ve ever wondered why nothing in Emerson Grace Design feels quite like anything else, it comes down to one thing: everything here was chosen on purpose.

Stefanie doesn’t buy for trends. She buys with a designer’s eye — looking for the piece that will actually earn its place in someone’s home. That means:

Local makers first. Whenever possible, Stefanie sources from local artisans and small-batch makers rather than mass-produced lines. One recent favorite: Amanda Hummes, a Brazilian ceramicist based in LA, whose hand-built ceramic pieces bring a one-of-a-kind texture you won’t find anywhere else.

An eye for the unusual. Odd shapes, natural imperfections, real patina — the things that make a piece feel collected rather than purchased. If something stands out to Stefanie on sight, that’s usually the sign it belongs in the shop.

A fit for the space. Every item is chosen with the shop’s own aesthetic in mind, so pieces don’t just sit next to each other — they work together.

Nothing filler. Stefanie has said it best herself: this shop is her love letter to everyone who walks through the door. She only carries things she genuinely loves — which means when you’re browsing, you’re seeing her personal taste, not a catalog.

That’s the philosophy behind every shelf, every vignette, every “wait, where did you find this?” piece in the shop. Come see it in person — call ahead to set up an appointment to shop with us and get styling tips right from our team.
