Ribbon-cutting celebrates design studio reopening
After five years of operating Bridget Vandenburgh Interiors on Sanibel and then pivoting operations to the warehouse in Fort Myers after Hurricane Ian, its namesake owner, founder and principal designer was happy to finally open a showroom and studio on the mainland on Jan. 23.
The SanCap Chamber was there to make an occasion of its relocation with a ribbon-cutting.
“We are super excited to finally have a space to meet with design clients to be able to showcase all that we have to offer in custom furniture and home décor,” Vandenburgh said.
She terms her style coastal inspired and prides the firm on its attention to detail and ability to pull a job together in a timely manner, with years of experience and trade knowledge.
“This is where my love of the island and decorating started,” Vandenburg, whose family loved to tour open houses on Sanibel during vacations when she was young, said. “My dream was to someday be an interior designer on the island.”
She had hoped to reopen on Sanibel post-Ian, but Hurricanes Helene and Milton changed that.
“We miss having Bridget on-island, but we wish her all the success she deserves in her new location,” chamber President and Chief Executive Officer John Lai said. “I know her team maintains many friendships they have developed with clients on the islands over the years.”
The Bridget Vandenburgh Interiors showroom and studio is at 13261 McGregor Blvd., Unit 101-102, Fort Myers.
