Maryanne Stewart has always excelled at dreaming big, but executing those dreams did not come easily. "If you knew me before I started this journey, you would know I was the most timid and nervous person there ever was," she explained. You wouldn't know it today as she exudes energy and enthusiasm for helping clients and making beautiful furniture. 

Growing up, Stewart loved everything about design, from architecture to home decor. She knew early on, one day she would end up doing something in the design field. She founded Modest Method to provide design services and beautiful spaces to people who couldn't afford extravagant upgrades. Then, COVID happened, and things shifted a bit. She decided to focus more on furniture and curated pieces than spaces, and continue to offer affordable products through her process and products.

In early 2020 Vania and Mark Greco began making candles as a hobby. However, it wasn't long before Vania was inspired to start a business even though--or perhaps, because--the pandemic was in full swing. The young entrepreneurs began selling their products in pop-up shops and farmers markets throughout Northwest Arkansas. The popularity of their products continued to grow, and they made the decision to open the storefront at at 112 N 3^rd Street in Downtown Rogers.
