We like to use our open houses as an open forum for both current and future homeowners to answer any questions that they may have. Whether you already own a lake home here at Meredith Bay or have just started the search for a new vacation or main residence, one question that we hear on a regular basis is where we acquired the accessories and larger pieces that we used to furnish our luxury Townhome model. A handful of the items hail from Home Goods, located off Lake Shore Drive in Gilford, but the pieces that command the most attention are from Home Comfort, located in Center Harbor on Route 25B.

With a one-of-a-kind home decorating and design center, Home Comfort, will surely have that special piece that you need to make your new home truly yours. They carry a plethora of different home furnishings including textiles, wood and tile flooring, custom window treatments, carpeting, area rugs, and distinctive lighting. Looking to decorate an outdoor area? They have you covered in this category as well. Their outdoor furniture is handpicked and can be used in any outdoor environment with minimal upkeep required so you can truly enjoy your new patio or porch!

All of these wonderful furnishings and accessories at Home Comfort are overseen by a team of three designers that will help you navigate the 62 unique brands they carry. If custom is more what you had in mind, they will be happy to extend their expertise for everything from choosing a color palette and upholstery to complete project management! Their portfolio ranges from sophisticated lakeside living ideas, to cozy cottage chic, to contemporary modern elegance.

If you happen to work up an appetite with all the designing and shopping, Lavinia’s Relaxed Dining is conveniently located within walking distance of the showroom. Owned by the same family that runs Home Comfort, Lavinia’s has an ambiance that is hard to deny. Whether you’re ravenous or simply just want a nosh, they have a wide variety of menu items to choose from. A personal favorite is the New England Seafood Cakes! Relax with one of their strawberry mojitos and take your time to peruse the choices and revel in your newly acquired bounty!
