After five years of operating Bridget Vandenburgh Interiors, Inc., on Sanibel Island, pivoting operations to its warehouse in Fort Myers after Hurricane Ian, and finally opening a showroom and studio in Fort Myers, the namesake owner, founder, and principal designer was happy to land at 13261 McGregor Blvd. in Fort Myers on Dec. 1. The SanCap Chamber was there to make an occasion of its relocation with a ribbon-cutting.
‘We are super excited to finally have a space to meet with design clients to be able to showcase all that we have to offer in custom furniture and home décor,” Vandenburgh said. She terms her style coastal inspired and prides the firm on its attention to detail and ability to pull a job together in a timely manner with years of experience and trade knowledge.
“The is where my love of the island and decorating started,” said Vandenburg, whose family loved to tour open houses on Sanibel during vacations when she was young. “My dream was to someday be an interior designer on the island.”
She had hoped to reopen on Sanibel post-Ian, but hurricanes Helene and Milton changed all that.
“We miss having Bridget on-island, but we wish her all the success she deserves in her new location,” said John Lai, SanCap Chamber president and chief executive officer. “I know her team maintains many friendships they have developed with clients on the islands over the years.”
Vandenburg appreciates the seven years of chamber support from a marketing standpoint.
“The chamber awarded us the New Business of the Year in 2019,” said the owner. “The award really helped with getting the word out about our business and what we do. We are truly grateful for that recognition and overall chamber support. It is well worth the membership.”
