Boone Magnolia Boutique blossoms to life.
Lori Whited began building rustic signs and furniture in 2016, selling her stock online and at craft fairs where she met like-minded makers. In August 2019, she opened The Boone Magnolia Boutique, where she showcases the work of other Danville-area artisans.
The Boone Magnolia gets its name from The Magnolia Market, a collection of handpicked home decor and lifestyle goods featured on the HGTV show Fixer Upper. It was the show’s Joanna Gaines who inspired Whited to dream big and bring new business to her home in Boone County.
“I loved the idea of highlighting my hometown artisans,” Whited says. “They’re incredibly talented, and I want to give people the opportunity to appreciate the amount of work that can be done with two hands.”
The Boutique features 20 artisans in-store and online, including Whited’s own sign-making side hustle, The Boone Magnolia. You’ll also find Country Roads Woodworking’s quirky jewelry boxes and shelf sitters and Reese & Roo Designs’ West Virginia–themed hats, T-shirts, and stickers.
“I feel like we really are the most unique boutique in the surrounding area,” Whited says. “I’ve never walked into another store with the same energy and love or soul behind their products.” 61 Country Corner Circle, Danville, 304.369.1611, theboonemagnoliaboutique.com, @theboonemagnolia on Facebook
