Shop the Show Q&A with Chris Loves Julia

This summer, we’re partnering with several of our Shop the Show alumni from past seasons to discuss essential finds for today’s new, home-oriented lifestyles from brands you can shop at Atlanta Market. Over the coming weeks, join us for useful tips from fellow retailers and designers on how to adjust in these challenging times, inspirational creative projects, and strategies designed to move the home industry ahead to the future.

 

 

How They’ve Been Keeping Busy
“When the stay-at-home orders went into effect, we were at the tail end of an 8-month remodel. A lot of people with a lot of (loud) tools were in and out of our house every day. It was always exciting, but I’m cherishing the quiet now.

Chris’s Kitchen Essentials
“First, a citrus squeezer: I add fresh citrus juice to just about everything I cook. Either during the process, or just a hit right at the end. Wakes every dish up, as well as the taste buds.

I have 5 of these in a crock on my counter and I use several every time I cook.” — Chris
