No Place Like HOME
A pair of home design and décor shops nestle together in Dover.
IT IS CHALLENGING ENOUGH to
start one new business, never mind two,
but Christina Van Blake was determined
to double down on her commitment to
meeting client needs. In the span of a few
years, she opened HOME, her interior
design and furnishings company, and
across the street, house & HOME, a retail
store featuring home décor and gifts.
Both are located in Dover in the Pointe
Place mixed-use development on Dover
Point Road.
Creativity is in Van Blake's blood as
she is part of three generations of artists.
She, her mother and grandmother are
all talented decorative artists who have
worked in a wide range of art media; Van
Blake has been stenciling commercially
since her teens. With her dad in the Air
Force, she grew up traveling the world,
and working on art projects in amazing
locations.
After earning her bachelor of fine
arts from the Savannah School of Art &
Design, Van Blake was art director for a
stencil company, then took her first foray
into having her own business, creating
Décor by Design, a firm specializing in
creating faux finishes, stencils, murals,
plasterwork, stippling and other special
effects. After seven years, she moved to
Ethan Allen, where she worked as an
interior designer, managing all aspects
of projects. This creative background
ultimately led Van Blake to her destiny
- two shops of her own vision designed
to help people find their individual style
and make their home their own.
In 2018, she opened HOME, a cozy,
calm space furnished in an elegant palette
of creams and browns and the perfect
spot to showcase her unique and tasteful
line of home furnishings. " HOME is a fullservice,
boutique interior-design firm, " she
says. " At our studio, we help clients plan
their spaces and give them access to décor
and accessories available only to those in
the trade. I travel the country, going to
the best shows and markets, to bring back
pieces that are well-made and distinctive.
You won't find pieces like we offer in your
average furniture shop. "
Van Blake emphasizes that she is
personally familiar with the furniture and
