MANGO'S DECOR & CO IS THE PERFECT SPOT FOR CHATTANOOGA LOCALS LOOKING FOR COZY AND STYLISH DECOR. Kristy Steele, the owner of Mango's Decor & Company, opened her business five years ago with the hopes and dreams of giving Chattanooga residents upscale furniture options at an affordable price. Kristy stays extremely busy and is passionate about her store, her clients and her family. On occasion, one might see Kristy’s children, Charlie and Annie, in the store learning not only about furniture but the value of hard work. “They're part of helping sometimes too,” says Kristy. “That's how you become a hard worker, and that's also just part of life. It’s what I had to do with my family and it’s how I raise my children”. Kristy was raised in a “furniture” family. Their father operated a furniture import store in Brentwood, Tennessee for 20 years where he acquired furniture from abroad. Many of his pieces were made of mango wood which is how the name "Mango's Decor & Co" originated. Mango's Decor & Co is the ideal location for those looking for a vast offering of home furnishings, lighting, artwork, gifts, holiday goods and more. Having been named as one of the Chattanooga area’s largest closeout warehouses, they have something for everyone. But they do so much more! Kristy and her team offer a variety of home services, including one-on-one design and decorating ideas that could range from a small kitchen to an entire home as she understands the challenges of decorating. Her goal is to give constructive advice and revamp any space in a client’s home. For those selling a home or property, consultations and “staging” services are available as well. When asked, Kristy stated that her favorite part of her job was, “… not the furniture or decor, but rather the people who come in my store. I honestly enjoy dealing with customers. I enjoy helping them make their personal space feel good. When a customer tells me, ‘I actually use that room now,’ it makes it all worthwhile.” Whether searching for holiday decor, a stylish throw or items to create that perfect farmhouse kitchen, stop by Mango’s Decor & Co located in Northshore. You will be greeted by friendly staff eager to help with all your furniture and decorating needs—and maybe get to meet the family too!

what is meant by the old adage of, “It’s not bragging if you can do it.” Ray’s motto is simple: “Small business is easy if you just do what you say you will do!” Ray views his business as more than just a business; it's an extension of his home. He and his team (including his dogs) invite you into their “other home” with smiles and a feeling of welcoming. Few things give him more pleasure and inspiration than to see the joy on a customer’s face when a piece of jewelry they have entrusted to him is returned in the beautiful condition he promised. Ray is a man who recognizes the simplicity of what brings true joy to his heart—his wife, his dogs and a business that he loves and can be proud of. And it doesn’t hurt he has also been able to realize the aspirations from his "younger" self—“… a nice car, a nice house and to be able to eat a steak once a week!”

Chattanooga Lifestyle | December 2019
KRISTEN CAISSIE, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF MOON CANYON DESIGN CO., created this beautiful flower arrangement as part of Jenni Kayne’s floral encyclopedia. This lush arrangement is comprised of early spring blooms arranged in a ceramic vase. The wabi-sabi aesthetic of the handmade vessel adds to the arrangement’s playful proportions. Earthy yellows, rich greens, and a touch of blue tell a color story that’s unexpected, yet warm and welcoming. Perfectly undone early spring blooms (Kristen’s favorite to design with) emphasize the meeting place of winter and spring. CONTINUED >

TWEEDIA LADY SLIPPER Characterized by the slippershaped pouch (or labellum) that sits between the petals, these orchids range in color from white and yellow to a deep pink and purple. The lady slipper might take four to sixteen years to produce a bloom, but it’s worth the wait— in comparison to other, more temperamental orchids, this type can be considered fairly low-maintenance.
RANUNCULUS Also known as the buttercup, these spring bloomers are coveted for their delicate layers of petals, resembling ruffled tissue or crepe. In a wide range of vivid shades, ranunculus can bloom from late winter to early summer.

NARCISSUS Daffodils are instantly recognizable by their six petals surrounding a trumpet-like corona, most often in variances of white, yellow, or both. The ubiquity of the daffodil dates back to ancient times, both medicinally and botanically. They have been said to get their name because the image of languid daffodils along a stream evoke the image of Narcissus gazing into his reflection.
This delicate perennial is coveted for its light fragrance and pale blue star-shaped petals. Found commonly in vines and trellises, tweedias are prime for an arrangement as they cut well and last long.
