Distinct design, playful touches, and versatile functionality are just a few expressions that describe the New Milford, Connecticut brand Dunes and Duchess.  Dunes and Duchess are purveyors of beautiful artistic furniture and lighting for your home. They are known for their stunning high gloss lacquer and signature turned wood spindles. Candelabras, sconces, tables and beds are just a few examples of their beautiful creations. 

In this episode, we are joined by one of their founders, Stacy Kunstel. Stacy, along with Michael Partenio, have curated the perfect collection of The New American classics.  Stacy's background in journalism afforded her the opportunity to travel globally, which fueled her already established innate sense of style. Later, her attention to detail manifested itself in the numerous magazine covers she styled with noteworthy publishing brand, New England Home Magazine.

Together, Anne and Stacey discuss:

• How Stacey and Michael created Dunes and Duchess
• Insights to what they curate and customize for their clients
• How they are known for their lacquer and turned wood spindles
• The "WOW" pieces they have created for very special homes.
• Stacey's Instagram account and how it has helped establish an authentic connection with her followers
• Their happy place on Chappaquiddick

Dunes and Duchess has been featured in Luxe Interior Design, Elle Decor, New England Home, House Beautiful and The Oprah Magazine just to name a few!
