Building a Vintage Style Home Décor Brand With Kimberly Reed

Kim Reed is the co-owner of Purple Rose home with her mother Vicki Martelli. Purple Rose Home was started in 1997 when Kim was just graduating high school and going off to college to study fashion design. She had no intentions of later joining her mom, but in 2005 mom beckoned Kim's creativity into the shop and together they've been growing their vintage style home décor brand, locally and online. This month marks its 25th anniversary in business. Episode Highlights: Kimberly's push to get into fashion. (2:18) What happened to the curtain line? (4:22) Working with your mom.
