Shopping
Perched above New Preston Falls in northwestern Connecticut, Pergola represents a transition from the wilds of nature to the cultivated environment of home. Since 2005, owners David and Peter Whitman have merged their naturalist and design instincts to create a sensual shopping experience for home & garden. Annual buying trips to Japan result in a layer of new design products and old antique pieces from a country and culture that understands well the blending of inside and out.
As home and place increasingly become synonymous with sanctuary, Pergola’s combination of uncommon botanical material, weathered Japanese antiques and furnishings, studio crafted ceramics, home fragrance collections, and found curiosities can perhaps offer a more mindful approach to modern life in the 2020’s.

Milton Market was founded in May 2019. We reside in the Cobble Court in Litchfield Center, Connecticut. We are a modern day general store with a focus on simple, clean, local, seasonal and sustainable. My goal for Milton Market was to create a shop that communicated my sense of home and appreciation for the beauty of everyday objects. I wanted to find special and unique products, to work with artists and artisans, and to seek out small brands whose values aligned with my own.
