Church Street Garden & Home has joined the list of Greater Red Bank retailers who will be displaying at the model home at Corinthian Cove. Owner Jane Sudler Black and associate Judi Trammell have come up with a stylish plan for the 35' x 20' brick terrace at Corinthian Cove.
I stopped in Saturday and walked the yard with Judi, who pointed out the wide range of styles they offer. There are traditional pieces that Jane has brought back from Europe, including a table with iron base and stone top that I'm hoping will be at the showcase. There is every style imaginable, from classic urns and European estate fountains, to ultra-contemporary stainless planters and terazzo dining sets. It had been a while since I last shopped the shop, bringing home a bas-relief panel for my brick patio. I've been missing so much!
I was captivated by set of antique garden statues representing the Four Seasons. Dating from 1920, these are a stunning Art Deco inspired interpretation of classical statues. They are classics, yet with a timeless, contemporary simplicity. They are exquisite.

I have my eye on an antique French bistro table with Carrerra marble top that Jane brought back from Europe... maybe that will go home with me after it finishes it's run on the Master bedroom balcony at the retail showcase (if someone else doesn't grab it first.) That's the purpose of the showcase, everything you will see can be purchased from the participating shops. It's a great way to stop in and see the best that Red Bank area retailers have to offer.
So many items have an interesting provenance. Right out in front of the store there is a stacked display of geranium planter boxes, fresh from an old Florida hotel. The many layers of paint reveal their past with that familiar Palm Beach pink peeking through. They're charming.

Stop in at Church Street Garden & Home. Located in one of Little Silver's oldest properties. The quaint building has great high ceilings, pocket doors and the original cooking fireplace in the back. Check out the stylish interior furnishings - this is more like a shop in the Village than suburbia.
Don't forget to save time to walk about the yard. Proprietor Jane Sudler Black has expertly gathered the best of the best here. You'll also find Judi is a wealth of knowledge about the history of the antique pieces, as well as the contemporary furnishings and fixtures inside. There is also a new line of handmade jewelry, very reasonably priced. With an artistic streak a mile wide, Judi can help you find the right piece for your home, inside or out.
