The White Rabbit

The White Rabbit is a vintage-chic boutique at 9030 Manchester Rd, Brentwood, MO 63144. You can check it out at www.thewhiterabbitstl.com.

The White Rabbit is the perfect place if you are looking for a baby gift or for painted white vintage furniture. They also have some beautiful ‘shell/beach accessories’. I was looking for a “rabbit” for our kitchen window and I had not been in the shop for several months so stopped by. Now they are carrying custom furniture and have expanded their store with all things white and pastels.

Even though I didn’t find a rabbit, I did find some wonderful ceramic carrots and turnips and some rusty old sand shovels.



I found the rabbit at The Emporium in Warson Woods. The copper pots were a find when shopping with friend Millie at the Big Bend Antique Store.

Floral designer Marianne Brown helped me put it all together!

Floral Design


Years ago while shopping for our Welsh pine hutch I met Marianne Brown. She was in the basement of a church selling her artificial flower arrangements in a small area of what was the Old English Pine shop (now English Living).

She moved to Florida, worked as an interior designer for several years and is now back in St. Louis as a floral designer. You will love her work and should stop by and see her in her new shop. Those out of town can visit her website at http://www.mariannebrowndesign.com/. On the website you can find the article from Mary Engelbright’s Home Companion magazine showcasing Marianne’s home.

It was a fun visit. Met Tom Sprick a designer here in St Louis and avid customer of Marianne’s. Tom is also a gardener and will be volunteering at the Missouri Botanical Garden’s bulb area soon. Watch for his new website. Designers who pay attention to the exterior as much as the interior are my favorites. Enjoy his blog HERE.
