Peace, Love & Decorating Opens in Downtown Duluth

Interior designers Jana Contardi and Jennifer Cook are opening Peace, Love & Decorating “softly” today (May 3) on Main Street in historic downtown Duluth. The retail store is an extension of their successful online business.

A grand opening is planned in 60 to 90 days. Their store offers furniture, home décor, designer lighting, luxury bedding, boutique jewelry and gifts, fashion accessories, holiday ornaments, and interior design services. Customers will also find girls decor and bedding from Deck My Dorm and My Royal Sister, both divisions of Peace, Love & Decorating.

“After numerous and repeated requests from our customers, we decided to open a retail storefront to compliment our e-commerce sites,” said Cook in announcing the opening.

“We were very particular about the location of our retail space and wanted to make sure the space included a sense of character and history,” Contardi said.

Their extensive renovations to the 100-year-old building exposed the original ceiling timbers and beams, brick walls and glass storefront.

Both Cook and Contardi are Duluth residents.

Among the lines carried by the store are Aidan Gray, Belle Notte Linens, Creative Co-op, Currey & Company Lighting, Dovetail Casegoods, Gabby Decor, Havaianas Flip Flops, Highland House Upholstery, Lazy Bones Bedding, Papaya Art, Peacock Park, PJ Salvage casual wear, Regina Andew, Rhonda Smith Jewelry, Rogue luxury bedding, Seda France Candles, Shannon Koszyk Jewelry, Vagabond Vintage Decor, Votivo Candles, Wendover Art, and others.

Located at 3129 Main St., the shop also has a rear entrance on the Duluth Town Green. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. They may stay open later depending on special downtown events and festivals.
