We have a big announcement, friends! Introducing Cape House: a home and hospitality boutique coming Summer 2017 to the south end of Amelia Island. The culmination of a dream for founders – and Fernandina Beach locals – Wes and Tiffany Hinton and Lance and Lauren Jones, Cape House will specialize in furniture, housewares, serve ware, and more – all the items that make a house a home.
Tiffany, interior designer and founder of Lola Interiors, has long dreamed of owning a retail location to bring the style and selections her clients love to the Amelia Island market. The Jones, who returned to the area in 2011, also believed they’d own a store one day – although with a hospitality (and gourmet cheese-heavy!) focus. As they became closer as friends, they realized they shared this vision – and began the work to make it a reality together.
But, before we start at the culmination of this dream – let’s start at the beginning, where the concept was inspired: an anniversary trip to Cape Town, South Africa. Upon arrival in March 2016, the Jones and the Hintons immediately fell in love with everything about the town – the scenery, the architecture, the color schemes, the crisp, coastal-chic style around every corner – really everything! Blown away by its beauty, they felt completely at ease – able to completely disconnect from their every day, embrace rest, and focus on the future, namely, this store concept.
Conversations over glasses of Pinotage led to discovery of the root behind the whole concept – their passion for meaningful and spiritual relationships and where they begin: in the home. By combining Lance’s love for the gourmet and Tiffany’s love for interiors, their dream took shape as Cape House!
Today, March 3rd, marks one year since their return – and it’s been business planning, and selecting products ever since. We can’t wait to share more! Stay tuned.
So excited for the four of you and fulfillment of a vision.
God has blessed you with love and friendship and we wish you the very best in this new adventure.
Thank you. We are excited to see where God continues to lead.
This is amazing news, well done to you all!!! I know it will be a stunning success.
Amazing indeed. Thanks for being “the guide” during our time in Cape Town. We are already looking forward to our next trip and a “real” safari with you. If you ever find yourself in Amelia Isla d we know a store you’ll have to check out. Cheers!
Anxious for the opening.
We are so excited to be launching this concept in our community. Thanks Judy.
