Recently, on Saturday afternoon in New Orleans, I spotted a minimal white storefront with its door propped open amid the ornate black ironwork on Magazine Street, and wandered in to discover Sunday Shop, offering “thoughtful wares for an easy and beautiful home.”
The shop, I came to find out, is run by two childhood friends, Katie Logan LeBlanc and Jensen Killen, who graduated from Louisiana State University’s School of Design together, started an interior design firm—Logan Killen Interiors—in 2012, and opened Sunday Shop in late 2016.
First, the shop’s light-filled front room.
Among the wares on offer: textiles, furniture, art, fragrances, candles, and botanicals—a mix of antique, vintage, and new.
The tiled section of the shop, with utilitarian goods and glassware, brass and copper salt and pepper mills, and tea towels from Jenny Pennywood.
Jensen arranges the built-in marble and tile shelves with Redecker brushes and bread boards, some of them from the 19th century.
Jensen and Katie like to represent makers from beyond New Orleans, such as Portland, Oregon–based ceramicists Ashley Hardy and Alexandria Cummings.
Utilitarian brooms and brushes on display.
The bedroom section, with products in situ, including a sheepskin pelt from New Zealand.
On a chaise are pillows and upholstery in lush patterns, including designs from Zak & Fox, one of the women’s favorite textile designers (and ours too).
Another room stocks a handful of high-quality beauty brands, such as Coqui Coqui and Byredo. Also available: lighting from Montreal-based Lambert et Fils, like the Dot Antipode ceiling light pictured here.
In the back rooms, Jensen and Katie chose to leave the original brick walls exposed.
Vintage shelves hold plants and ceramic planters by Ashley Hardy.
The women also partner with local creatives, such as florist Emily Eberwine of Pick-a-Petal, who stocks the shop weekly with “unique blooms and greens, available by the stem or in stunning arrangements,” the owners say.
