Jacksonville residents Jim and Carmen Whitlock have been in the building and design business in the Rogue Valley for 23 years and are now pleased to announce the opening of “Eleglance Home Décore.” The full-service retail and interior design business is located at the northeast corner of California & 5th Street in a charming historic house at 110 N. 5th Street. In recent weeks, the Whitlock’s have spruced-up the interior and exterior of the building with fresh plants, paint and signage.
Carmen says, “Back in 1990, we started Advanced Homebuilders and then branched-out with Eleglance Stylish Interiors. Since that time, our building, remodeling, designing and decorating businesses have served hundreds of homeowners and small offices in the Rogue Valley.”
With the current up-tick in building and interior design activity, Jim explains, “Our timing seems right to open a boutique-style furniture and home décore store. And, I will be able to offer our clients computer-generated drafting services for new home construction projects or remodels from the new location.”
A soft opening of the new store is slated in June with a Grand Opening on July 1. According to Carmen, “We have been receiving shipments of quality, unique and harder-to-find pieces of furniture and accessories on a daily basis and look forward to sharing everything with our customers from the new store.”
Customers will be able to purchase items off the floor or have them customized to their exact specifications. Eleglance will feature furniture and accessory lines from Drexel Heritage, Hooker Furniture, Lexington, Omnia Leather, American Elegance, Four Hands and others. Additionally, customers will find area rugs, mirrors, custom-made frames, floor and wall clocks from Howard Miller, a nice sampling of lamps, bookends, candleholders, vases, floral arrangements, unusual decorative items, pillows and a host of other coordinating items.

Interior design services will be offered by Carmen and other design associates in the store or in your home. Working alongside Carmen and Jim, their daughter, Katie Palmer will help run the shop on a day-to-day basis. Jim adds, “It’s our sincere hope that our store will compliment others in Jacksonville and help draw more people to our wonderful small town. We also hope to fill a niche that is now missing in the surrounding area for nicer furniture and furnishings.”
