Home design store Cobblestone & Vine has been a staple of the design community in central Arkansas for 27 years. Now, owners Kim and John Gillum have announced plans to expand the business to a location in Bentonville. “Northwest Arkansas is booming, and we’ve had our eye on it for a number of years,” John says. “What makes Cobblestone & Vine different is that we carry a real mix of different lines,” Kim says, noting this lends the store’s showroom a transitional feel with a blend of traditional and modern décor, original art, and interesting accessories. “We’re excited to be a part of that designer community and to bring things that maybe aren’t available anywhere else right there, including some really beautiful bedding lines, gifts, and high-quality, comfortable furnishings.”

You can find the new location of Cobblestone & Vine at 2812 S. Walton Blvd. in early 2021. Keep an eye on their Instagram and Facebook pages (@cobblestoneandvine) as well as cobblestoneandvine.com for updates and more information.
