Run-of-the-mill tabletops be gone: Costume designer-turned-accessories maven Aude Bronson-Howard welcomes all who are looking to make an statement with their home décor. The store has a friendly French sales staff that works with customers to create their perfect dining table. To accent the rest of the home, Bronson-Howard has a light-hearted display of novelty coasters, candles, and soap; the latter, in a frog design, is a wink to her own French ancestry. Plush pillows in various sizes and fabrics are available, and a small line of elegant loungewear, sheer scarves, and thick bath towels are spread throughout the shop. — Susan Avery
