Annabelle’s Fine Furniture and Interior Design Opens Second Location Near Downtown Saint Petersburg
Odessa, Fla., Annabelle’s Fine Furniture & Interior Design, a purveyor of high-end, quality, home furnishings and interior design since 1979, has opened its second store at 2421 4th Street North in Saint Petersburg.
“After all these years, the Annabelle’s experience still resonates with customers throughout Tampa Bay,” says Co-Owner and Tampa native, Scott Meister. “We are not just a furniture store; we are the perfect mix of interior design and home décor retail. Our residential and commercial clients value our approach to interior design and continue to come back because of quality service and our wide selection of home furnishings and curated accessories. Our St. Pete location will make it easier for clients residing in Pinellas, Manatee, and Sarasota counties, and will serve as an alternative location for South Tampa residents.”
The new store, strategically located just north of downtown St Petersburg, has a smaller footprint than Annabelle’s Odessa’s location to take a more tailored approach to fine furniture and interior design. With its relevant furniture brands, assortment of unique accessories, and endless array of fabrics, finishes, wall décor, and rugs, customers will see something new every time they return. They’ll also find the process fun and easy with the expert assistance of an Annabelle’s designer.
“We’re really looking forward to being part of the St. Petersburg community and the growth taking place there,” Meister says.
