Although our doors will be closing soon, we still have new things coming to Abode. Before we made this big decision, we had already ordered a bunch of GREAT stuff!
The best part-these brand new items immediately went into our Goodbye Sale! Here’s a preview:
Take a look at our new Voluspa Candles!
How gorgeous are they? And, they smell incredible.
Our long time favorite at Abode, the rosebud tea light.
And, how perfect would these matches be with the new Voluspa candles? Perfect gift!
Plus, we got just more scarves for this new chilly weather! Come see the cute styles for your fall fashion!
Finally, our ever-so-popular, bird cage cardholders!

In the beginning, two people started this project in hopes of bringing life to an old space in downtown knoxville.
Here are some pictures from the process of creating Abode.
Here is a picture of the owners, Allison and Matt with some of their family.
Matt and a friend created this hanging fixture from vintage wallpaper and barnwood from a family barn.
Boxes..boxes…boxes..
More boxes!
A lot of people ask how we did our floors, and it is really simple: we used the subfloor (plywood), stained it, and the polyurethaned it! A simple process for a really rustic look.
The custom concrete countertops were made by a friend, John Phillips.
Here are our windows painted for the birth of Allison’s first daughter, Sophie.
And then came Hazel!
Abode’s first customers!
The tin that was put in the entrance and along the ceiling is also pulled from the Sprouse’s family barn.
If you have any questions about the creation of Abode- do not hesistate to call or email!

I have worked at Abode since 2008, and truly see Abode as my second home. Abode was a stone’s throw from my own abode (above Cafe 4) for a year, and it truly became a place of community for me. Abode was where friends would come visit and where I constantly met new friends! Personal relationships have certainly made this store feel vibrant and has made my experience all the richer.
With an ending, there is always a new beginning.
I will get married in a week, the Sprouses’ girls will start school soon, and life will keep going. Change can be scary, but it is necessary to move forward.
Bottom line: I will miss this place. A lot.

Ya’ll,
We are so so so pleased with all of the support we’ve been getting from our friends and clients! It makes this hard decision to close Abode all the sweeter and we are so thankful for everyone who has come out!

And here a nice note from Remedy’s owner, Sara Alsobrooks:
Matt and Allison feel that this is the right time to close or sell the store. I know it was a hard decision but they feel such a peace. They are excited to have more time to spend with their sweet girls, Matts New Production Company and Allison’s AMAZING event planning company Modern Hostess www.themodernhostess.com!
If you LOVE Abode then show some love by continuing to support them over the next few months. Let people know about the Good Bye sale of 15-30% off, spread the word that it is for sale and maybe someone will snatch it up and…
Thanks again!
