You may have heard...there is a Massachusetts Sales Tax Holiday on Saturday August 16th and Sunday August 17th.  Out of town those days?  Planning to be in line at Best Buy picking up an assortment of electronics (we have our eyes on Wii Fit) and just can't make it to Charles Street too?  No problem, shop in person (or by phone/web) anytime on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th and reserve your purchase.   We'll process your order on the 16th (with no tax and your 15% discount thank you very much) and you can pick it up anytime the following week.  Orders over $250 will qualify for FREE* ground shipping. 

*This does not apply to furniture or oversize items, or to purchases for local in-home delivery. 

 

Prior to her new role as the Manager of Koo's Retail Division Susan was a member of the Sales & Marketing team with The Bank of New York Mellon. A passion for retail, a drive to deliver exceptional customer service, and a love of gorgeous things is what brings Ms. Mendrala to Koo de Kir. Among Susan's favorite things, "Gorjana, Tano, our sheepskin rugs, Sybaritic Placemats, Juliska ceramic and their stunning glassware...to name a few!"

 

 

     

You may have noticed that our business has expanded.  In February we relocated our thriving Interior Design studio from the back office of our retail space to a gorgeous store front location just around the corner from Koo de Kir.  At the same time we introduced our new logo and tag line:  Live With Style.  Give With Style. 

The local press certainly considered this a newsworthy event.  From May through June we were lucky enough to have feature stories on our new studio in Boston Magazine, The Boston Sunday Globe Magazine, Stuff@Night and The Improper Bostonian Magazine.  On June 17, 2008 The Improper Bostonian Magazine together with Grey Goose Vodka helped us launch a "Summer of Style" with an intimate cocktail event to celebrate the opening of the new studio space.

Our project roster is jam packed with exciting work.  On our boards now is the re-design and renovation of Pomodoro Restaurant in the North End, the re-vamping of Matt Murphy's Gastro Pub in Brookline Village, a Villa in the Kingdom of Bahrain, a 6 floor townhouse in Beacon Hill, a loft in Central Square and so much more.

 "Kristine Irving's busy store has catered to Boston's design-concious denizens for more than a decade, offering modern accessories aplenty. Some are seriously useful, like the almost-always-sold-out petal-shaped stacked ceramic nesting bowls. Others are delightfully whimsical: ceramic Hostess cupcakes and porcelain "crinkled" coffee mugs that resemble crumpled water cooler cups."

"Beacon Hill, land of brownstones and Brahamins, could have stayed stuffy. But Kristine Irving shook it up a decade ago when she opened this contemporary home shop, finally making cutting-edge design safe for bluebloods. Here you can find sleek Eva Zeisel vases, sheepskin rugs, and photographer Jefferson Hayman's work. Irving's avant-garde accessories continue to keep the Hill au courant, and she's added an interior decorating business next door, too."
