You've likely seen the Merridian motto, Love Where You Live, all over our stores and online. But what do these four simple words actually mean to us? This phrase is the foundation on which we build our team and hand-select the pieces we sell. Here’s how you can LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!
3 Reasons Why Neutrals RULE!
1. Neutrals have an over-all calming effect
Sticking to neutral colors for the big elements of a room (large upholstered pieces, rugs, etc) evokes a sense of coziness and ease, especially when mixed with warm textures of rough-hewn woods, shiny metal finishes, and brushed velvets.
2. It's the perfect canvas for bold pieces to shine
A neural room can be FAR from boring! Let your personality and style shine through smaller elements like giant coffee table books, interesting light fixtures, bold wall art, lush plants, and patterned pillows.
3. Switch things around with ease
A mostly-neutral space has unlimited options, so think of it as an investment that will always deliver! If you feel the need to embolden with rich hues, you can easily swap out a rug, repaint the walls, or get crazy colorful with your art. One thing's for sure, though ... neutrals will never go out of style.

Now for the elements of a fabulous picnic — inside or out!
A vintage reclaimed-wood coffee table makes the perfect stage for your picnic. A low table is sturdier and a much more comfortable height than a blanket! We have them in all shapes and sizes. Call us to inquire.
Use natural elements like fresh flowers, this wine cooler and wood slices to bring nature into your scene.
Invite everyone at the table to enjoy delicious snacks, fruits and cheeses by creating an easy-to-grab tiered charcuterie spread. (Did you notice the little mice want some, too!?)
Our small vintage wooden stools and these comfy, colorful floor pillows are an unexpected way to enjoy a meal together.
Grounding ourselves close to the earth is part of the magic of the picnic! Get creative, use a lot of color and texture, and have fun with it!
