A ribbon cutting is scheduled on Wednesday, April 9 at 10:00 a.m. to celebrate the opening of Refined Living, 1107 7th Ave, Suite 106. What began as an online shop operating out of a basement in March 2018 has grown into a refined, curated destination for home decor, accent furniture, gifts, and candles. Owner Keri Dahl, who brings a background in healthcare and a lifelong passion for decorating, has nurtured the business from its early days as Staged Dwellings into a full-service boutique. Dahl first stepped into a brick-and-mortar space at West End Shops in 2020, where she remained until fall 2022. "West End was the perfect spot to test the waters. I met so many wonderful people and quickly realized I wanted to grow into something bigger," Dahl shared. When she saw the Broad and Main building taking shape on 7th Avenue, she knew it was the next step. “I drove by, saw the space, and called right away. Suite 106 was exactly what I had been waiting for.” Staged Dwellings was in Suite 106 for two years when Dahl started thinking about another expansion to include a line of furniture, a move that she knew would require additional space. In February 2025, the move to a new space, Suite 108, also came a new name. After receiving frequent inquiries about furniture rentals under the former name, Dahl saw the move as the perfect opportunity for a fresh start. “Refined Living better represents what we offer—beautiful pieces to make your home feel inviting and uniquely yours,” said Dahl. Shoppers can expect a warm and inspiring experience at Refined Living. Dahl and her team are happy to assist with decorating ideas and plans to expand offerings to include in-home consultations in the near future. The store is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., Thursday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Closed Sunday and Monday.
