Pineapple Porch - Jeanette Culling
This charming shopping destination embraces southern hospitality and gracious living through style.
"The Pineapple is the symbol for hospitality and your porch is where we welcome people into our lives, our homes and our families. We wanted Pineapple Porch to be an intimate shopping destination where people truly feel welcomed," says Jeanette Culling, owner of the shop.
What started as an old dream finally came to life when Pineapple Porch opened its doors for the first time five years ago. Jeanette humbly recalls a time that owning a boutique was merely a dream and celebrates where she is today.
"Pineapple Porch has given birth to a sense of reluctant pride and quiet satisfaction stemming from the knowledge that I could dust off that old dream and turn it into reality with the help of lots of people along the way."
Jeanette strives to curate collections of classic, timeless pieces that will resonate with any customer's personal style.
When stepping into Pineapple Porch, visitors should expect a host of friendly faces and plenty of southern-inspired trinkets, gifts, home decor as well as apparel. Those looking to display their southern pride, whether it be at a tailgate, during a Friday night dinner party or on a night out, can find everything they need right here in Cobb County.

Boho Trace - Devon Sawyer
Devon Sawyer, owner of Boho Trace, is a rare gem that succeeded in accomplishing one of her greatest dreams in her twenties. Her brainchild, Boho Trace, consists of endless collections of flowy, feminine, bohemian pieces that encourage every woman to embrace their inner beauty.
As Devon puts it, "One of the main goals for Boho Trace has always been 'to make every woman feel like she can express the best version of herself'. And with that, she's succeeded.
She explains that the average shopping experience for customers is a little bit like stepping directly into her own closet. When selecting the pieces she wants to carry in store, she strives to choose a little something for every style preference while still making sure her own style is reflected throughout the store.
"It can often feel like a never ending shopping spree, but truthfully the most rewarding part of it all is seeing people so happy in the pieces they find. Receiving photos of them wearing our clothes to special events, weddings, birthdays and more is genuinely my favorite," says Devon.
