A popular art and furnishings shop that raises money for a housing renovations charity will welcome customers at its new location on Thursday.

Habitat for Humanity Bermuda has announced that ReStore will hold a grand reopening event this week at Grosvenor House — now renamed Habitat House — on King Street.

As part of the reopening, a Habitat spokeswoman said, the shop will showcase new work by artists Sheilagh Head, Diana Amos, Andy Detzer and JP Rouja.

“The public is invited to view the new pieces of art while having a first look at the furniture and paintings available in our ReStore,” the spokeswoman said.

“The first 30 visitors will receive a $25 ReStore gift card voucher that can be used on the spot.

“In addition to our ReStore, we have the privilege of having two ‘Pop-up Shops’ run by local Bermudians — Dana Cooper and Curated (Urban Cottage).

“Dana is a fashion designer, illustrator and fashion print designer that’s been featured in British Vogue. Curated has various items, ranging from old vintage knick-knacks to modern clothing.”

The spokeswoman said ReStore will offer a changing line-up of items, with the proceeds going to support Habitat projects across the island.

She added: “So far this calendar year, Habitat has already completed seven projects — Devonshire, St George’s, Flatts and one each in Pembroke and Warwick.

“Habitat has only one paid staff member. Otherwise, every penny goes to support our projects. Even our location is free, thanks to a very generous donor who purchased our new location at 53 King Street for us.”

The opening of ReStore will take place between 5pm and 7.30pm on Thursday, after which the store will open between 10am and 5pm, Monday through Saturday.

Habitat Bermuda first opened ReStore in York House on Front Street, commonly called the Bluck’s building, in 2020.

However, last October it was revealed that the shop would have to close its doors because of the amount of work needed at the ageing site on Front Street.

The charity initially hoped it would be able to move the business online while it carried out repairs but it was determined that the project would take too long and cost too much.

A recent planning application proposed tearing down York House altogether and replacing it with a five-storey office building.
