Erica from the The E List says:

Fairhaven is surprising in every way, from its “could this be the place” location, to the happy discovery of three floors jam-packed with furniture and home accessories. The selection runs from classic to modern (love the blu dot tables and Murano glass pendants) and custom work, too. Pictured here, Will Steger’s cheery sofas and chairs. They call themselves “the alternative home store” and they’re right.
