Despite having boutiques on either side of the Cuyahoga, Danielle DeBoe and Candra Squire have a lot in common. As the owner of Room Service in the Detroit Shoreway and the founder of the Made in the 216 series, DeBoe has been a fixture on the local style scene, guiding North Coast sensibilities with her eye for unique design and passion for regional development. In Cleveland's Waterloo Arts District, Squire curates Salty Not Sweet, a bright beacon amid the retail blight of mainstream consumerism. She's a vocal advocate for one-of-a-kind handmade home goods and fashions that are built to last, eco-friendly and undeniably cool. The pair bring a refreshing perspective to life on Lake Erie. With Midwest charm and humor, the duo deliver the region's most au courant guide to home and style.
In this episode, the ladies talk about their love of stuff – but not just any stuff. From stuffed heads that are perfect for sex toys and drinks, to bars of soap with needles in them, to the allure of balls in vintage fabric, the ladies share a trove of treasures from their travels.
