New home decor shop opens on Woodward in Midtown
Growing up, Brigid Beaubien was more interested in where her dolls lived and their decor than what they wore. Now Beaubien is channeling that love of home decor with her own store in Midtown called Urbanum. Located at 6545 Woodward in Midtown, the store will feature a mix of furniture, textiles, lighting and more. The 1,800-square-foot shop will also be a dealer for Regina Andrew Design. “Creating a sense of home is one of the most important feelings in the world,” said Beaubien, who, with her husband, also co-owns 8 Degrees Plato Beer Company. “We want our customers to have the ability to express themselves in their own homes, in their own way, to create a feeling of comfort and hospitality.” To celebrate its opening, Urbanum will host a Housewarming Party from 5:30-8:30 p.m. to benefit Humble Design. It’s open to the public. Urban is open Tuesday through Saturday and 12-5 on Sundays.
