With a love for design & finding the unusual, we decided to open our first store the summer of 1999 at 140 West Main Street. The streets were torn up- and morale was down. People discouraged us from opening a boutique in a struggling downtown. Despite the odds, we decided that Mesa was a good place for us to start. On a handshake & a promise~ we signed our lease and were on our way to owning our own business. We wanted our store to have a less pretentious vibe than other boutiques of it's kind. We wanted to have all of the beauty & none of the attitude. We shopped antique markets, furniture & gift shows & put together what became Domestic Bliss.

Our store became a destination for one of a kind finds and unique gifts. We decided to further our committment to downtown in 2004 when we rennovated the Paul L. Sale building. It was renamed the C.M. Berge building in honor of Kristin's grandfather-

We have grown and evolved over the years~ we opened up Baby Bliss in the new building & Green B Clothing. We also opened up another element with our crafting boutique Blissful Living Studio. We have done design-work, event planning and have had the opportunity to host some amazing special events through our stores. It has been exciting to explore so many different facets of the retail business & we have learned so much. We have made many lasting friendships through our stores & feel blessed to have this business & all that it provides.
