1 – Interior designer Ashley DeLapp opened Belle, a home-décor boutique in a renovated Myers Park cottage that also houses her design studio. Peruse colorful rugs and pillows, cocktail glasses and serving pieces, funky candles and lighting, design books and wall art, along with the Parrish DeLapp line of fabric and wallcoverings. “Anyone that’s met me always comments on my Southern accent and asks where I’m from,” DeLapp says. “I’m a Southern belle, and that name just seemed to fit me to a tee. Everything in the store is colorful and bright, and it is definitely my happy place.” Belle is open Thursday-Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., and Monday-Wednesday by appointment only.
