With our gorgeous beaches, it's no wonder that the Ocean State is a popular spot for summer houses. The thing about a house is it takes some effort to make it a home, which is precisely what The Cottage at Four Corners in Tiverton aims to help you with.
Run by Nancy Hemenway, Linda Russo and Gayla Gibbons, The Cottage has been open for 20 years. The store's main business is furniture, but they also do various interiors as well as gifts and household accessories. Nancy, the founder, tells me that over the years the store has evolved from a more casual country store with antiques to a "modern-casual" business catering to mainly summer homes.
The Cottage is decorated like, well, a cottage, with the furniture customized so everything in the store "looks like the same gestalt" to Nancy. While they use big furniture makers like Mitchell Gold, The Cottage customizes the pieces they carry to make their items unique.
If you furnish your summer home at The Cottage, you're bound to have pieces no one's ever seen before. A unique brand is furniture made by Old Wood Co., which is crafted from old, reclaimed lumber and is easily customizable. Throughout the shop you can also see various iron pieces by Jan Barboglio from lamps to figurines and furniture. My personal favorite piece was outside in the garden section - the Forest Armchair by Janus et Cie, a super cool and comfortable indoor and outdoor chair.
The Cottage is open year round, and has a sale store across the street during the summer with the leftover winter products.
