Gardenia Flower Boutique opens in Marda Loop

Gardenia Flower Boutique is a beautiful new addition to the Marda Loop area, and not just because of the lovely flowers it sells inside. Before the shop opened, the site was home to a 108-year-old bungalow. The shop owners renovated the building, turning it into a multi-level home with a front porch that features the flower shop on the main level. Inside the shop, guests can pick up hand-tied bouquets, fresh-cut flowers and floral arrangements, as well as home decor like candles and vases. Say hi to the shop dog, a goldendoodle named Frankie, while you’re there.

1930 34 Ave. S.W., 403-475-7658, gardeniaflowerboutique.com

Murphy’s Mid-Century opens in Inglewood

You may have noticed a few changes to an Inglewood staple recently. After eight years in business, furniture store Mid-Century Dweller got a new owner earlier this summer. It’s now known as Murphy’s Mid-Century and the shop still carries furniture and home decor pieces in mid-century and Scandinavian styles (particularly from the 1950s and ’60s). Shoppers will find a great selection of tables, chairs, lamps, clocks, cabinets and more. Murphy’s also buys furniture and home decor, so reach out to them if you have a mid-century or Scandinavian piece you’re hoping to part with.

1221B 9 Ave. S.E., 587-436-6330, murphysmidcentury.com
