Silas Campbell, left, and Jai Cooper co-own Welcome Home, now open in Fort Oglethorpe. “I had lived in this area years before,” said Cooper. “I liked the really old buildings. I remembered seeing it [the Quartermaster Building] growing up. When we checked it out, I fell in love with it. I thought it would be a good fit.”
Fort Oglethorpe’s Welcome Home store is decking the halls for the holidays.It may be Jai Cooper and Silas Campbell’s first Christmas, but they’re going all out. The business partners own Welcome Home in Fort Oglethorpe, and the decor – and spirit of the holiday – embodies the atmosphere they want to create in their new home decor store.
“This is something we’ve been working on for about a year,” said Cooper, while taking a seat at the dining room table in the store. “This building is beautiful and has a welcoming feel. [The store is] set up like a familiar and comforting area. I like to take it and make it as homey as possible.
“Not everyone has the same tastes, but everyone likes to be around comfort and be at home.”
Amid the hand-painted furniture and unique accent pieces are decorative wreaths, Christmas trees and whimsical grapevine garland. Glitter dusts across the room.
