SHOPPOLOGIE
Fresh off of designing their country chalet in the Eastern Townships, interior stylist Chloé Lina and her husband, Louis, fell head over heels for a nearby storefront in the heart of Lac-Mégantic, Que. It was the ideal spot to open the boutique Shoppologie, Chloé’s passion project, complete with a second level the pair turned into a new home for their family of four. After they bought the place, they divided the main level into two stores, then Chloé got to work bringing her shop to life with whitewashed walls, antique furniture, boho throw pillows, bundles of sage and local treasures by Québécois makers. Wooden utensils and serving platters by Atelier La Louve are parked in the centre of the 600-squarefoot space while La Marcotterie bar soaps line a vintage dresser that Chloé refinished herself. The back of the boutique is where the real magic happens — Chloé custom-restores antique furniture for clients and puts paintbrush to canvas (her paintings are displayed throughout the store). “I’m doing what I’ve always wanted to do,” says Chloé. “I’m being creative and helping people feel good at home.”
