West Elm is coming to Durham!
West Elm is coming! West Elm is coming!
West Elm is opening a new store in Durham, NC, this week over in the Streets at South Point. I couldn’t be more beyond excited!! (Well, except that I started a new job today. For those deets, you can follow me on Twitter at @gwynnemurphy.) Any how, perusing the West Elm catalog is one of my favorite pastimes. And they are hosting a pre-opening event the day before. I really hope that I get to see the not-so-infamous Morocco bed that I lusted over for months in person.
They were nice enough to send me an invitation to a pre-opening event at the Durham store on Wednesday, August 23rd from 6:30-8:30pm.

Check it out. It’s made out of wood (yes! actual wood). You have to RSVP through Eventbrite here.
Guess who is attending the “
@westelm Durham Pre-Opening Event”? westelmdurham-estw.eventbrite.com#finally— Gwynne Murphy (@GwynneMurphy) August 14, 2012
(I was hoping to find my initial tweet of pure excitement but it has faded away as all tweets have a habit of doing.)
According to the invite, a portion of the night’s proceeds will benefit SEEDS, a nonprofit educational community garden dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture and respect for the environment through gardening and growing food.
I was hoping you could join me, but it looks like the pre-opening event is already sold out. Now, please don’t shy away from the opening just because you cannot make the pre-oppening event. West Elm has so much comfortable style to offer your home. Don’t be a stranger!
Follow me on Twitter (@gwynnemurphy) and Instagram (gwynnemurphy) for some pictures and tweets from the West Elm Durham event. Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Gwynne
