Darien Woman to Open ‘Found’ — a Home Decor Shop in Downtown New Canaan
|
A Darien woman plans to open a new home décor retail store in downtown New Canaan next month. “It’s always been my dream to own my own business and I’ve always done antiquing and loved that and showing people how to mix old with new,” Christine Keane said midday Thursday as boxes of the accent pieces that will form the core of her retail business arrived as the cozy shop. “I’ve done that on the side, so I just decided: Why not? Now’s the time.” The guiding principle of the shop at 147 Elm St., called ‘Found,’ is “mixing old with new,” Keane said. A native of Morris County in northern New Jersey who earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Providence College, Keane said she has “always been in the design industry.”
