Who, What, Where Wednesday – Larkspur Interiors

Kim and Denise are two old souls who became friends in high school and were reunited several years later when our young families moved onto the same street, Larkspur Circle.

Sharing a passion for design, antiques and painted furniture, we decided to launch our own business together and in 2011 created Larkspur Interiors.

We have done several shows in the Philadelphia area and have a booth in a local antique mall in South Jersey called Antiques Only, But Not Only Antiques.

We recently became a retailer of American Paint Company products after realizing there was a paint need in the South Jersey area.

Shopping around for a supplier, it quickly became clear that American Paint Company was the best fit for Larkspur Interiors.  We have already held our first workshop and there is already a demand for another one!
