Karen Schmidt of Freshwater Design Build returns to the Best of LKN Podcast to share exciting news: Freshwater Shoppe, a retail design studio that opened in October 2025 on Brawley School Road in Mooresville.

Located next to their full-service design and build studio, the shop brings the same high-quality upholstery, rugs, window treatments, and accessories Karen's team uses in their professional designs — now available to anyone, no full design engagement required. A team of professional designers is on hand to help with everything from furniture selection to bookshelf styling, and appointments are available for more in-depth consultations.

Karen also shares a standout offer for Lake Norman realtors: a $300 Freshwater Shoppe gift card available for just $150, making it a creative and locally meaningful closing gift for clients settling into their new homes. The shop is open Monday–Friday 9–5 and Saturday 10–4, and now offers online shopping at freshwaterdesignbuild.com.

Whether you're furnishing a new home, looking for styling advice, or just curious what's inside that beautiful new building on Brawley, Karen and her team want you to come see what they've built.
