Pimlico Interiors is going to be moving from the corner of Elm Street and South Avenue to a brand new building located at 215 Elm Street. The modern space, which sits above Stewart's Wine & Spirits is 1900 square feet - approximately twice the size of their current location.
Despite being at 48 Elm Street for 5-years, they will close by the end of this month. In addition to changing location, the website will be completely revamped and clients will be able to enjoy additional design services.
Co Owner Jill Saunders says: "We are excited about this opportunity and really like the modern building. With so much additional space, we will be able to showcase more products, host special events and invite regular guests speakers. There is hassle free parking and with the wine store below, we don't ever have to worry about running out. A spring launch party will be planned so look out for further information!"

Ask Melissa Lindsay (in photo, left) when she was bitten by the design bug and the Darien, CT native will tell you it’s in her genes. The FIT graduate was strongly influenced by her grandmother, an artist and interior designer of the Princeton Club. After graphic design stints at Vogue and New York, as well as positions at top interior design firms, Pimlico proved the perfect fit. When Lindsay isn't overseeing the shop or consulting clients at Pimlico Interiors, she’s fantasizing about creating a modern getaway in New Zealand.
You can’t describe Stamford native Jill Saunders (in photo, right) without the words "people person" topping the list. "My favorite part of this business is the clients," says Saunders, who worked in education and law before finding her niche in design. Saunders first remembers being educated in interiors by a friend’s mother. "She taught me that decorating isn't filling a room with things, but creating an atmosphere." It’s a philosophy she imparts to customers: "You should always feel happy when you walk through your front door."
