Her business, Studio 2804, was a largely online outlet but she said the past month of trade as a physical store has been a success.
"It's a really good opportunity for people to come in," she said.
"They can see the items online and then come in to smell the soaps and feel the fabrics."
From Canowindra, the business owner added that it was a good way to spread awareness of her store. "I love to mix old with new and I love practical things for your home that are beautiful," she said.
"I like to source vintage pieces and one-offs. A lot of my stuff is from old farms in the district. I've got 100-year-old wool baskets, I've got a wool table. I've got hand made soaps and all sought of things that I like to do ethically sourced."
Open Wednesday to Saturday, Studio 2804 will be in McNamara Street for a total of three months.
