Oakwood women open StyleHouse in Centerville

Oakwood residents Jean Winham and Dana Hookassian have moved their business, Vintage Scout Interiors, to a historic two-story stone building in downtown Centerville. The space, which also features an upscale fashion boutique, LUXE, opened in early May.

Now located at 60 N. Main St., Vintage Scout Interiors showcases sophisticated home décor and myriad interior design services.

The women said they, along with LUXE Boutique owners Monica Abels and Mary McGeady, had created a lifestyles concept studio where clients can not only create captivating looks for their homes but also for their wardrobes. A grand opening celebration will take place June 2.

“We are offering a destination spot within the already charming destination of historic Centerville,” said Winham. “Our client will be able to dress her home and dress herself in a fabulous historic building that we call StyleHouse.”
