Item Description

While in graduate school, Tia’s Place owner Megan O’Sullivan conceived of a different kind of clothing boutique combining up-and-coming designers and niche brands with one-of-a-kind furniture pieces that would attract clientele wanting a personalized shopping experience in a neighborhood atmosphere. In early 2004, armed with eight years of financial experience, Megan traded Wall Street for Grove Street, where she settled on a 2,000 square foot space in downtown historic Jersey City, NJ to open Tia’s Place, which was expanded to a second floor doubling it's size in late 2006.

She did not have to look far for cohorts. Having lived through countless weekends of auctions, garage sales and flea markets with Grandma Tia (the stores namesake), Grandpa Andy, Mom Sandi and Aunt Barbara, Megan knew she would be able to offer distinctive furniture and antiques – everything from armoires to artwork, chairs to chandeliers, etageres, tables, dressers, mirrors and more. So today, mom and Aunt Barbara have joined Megan as in-house designers and furniture restorers, a skill they learned from their parents.

Since opening, Tia’s Place has become a destination for stylists and fashionistas. Megan has served as a stylist for magazine and television and a resource for other stylists through the NYC area. Future plans include special events like the 3rd Annual Fall Fashion Preview with Shape Magazine, Vintage Night in conjunction with SweetTater, a boutique in Manhattan’s trendy Nolita, and an expansion into e-commerce.
