Our Story.

Discoveries was first opened in 2000 by Colleene, whose love for design and antiques turned the shop into a local favorite. After some years away, the sisters have brought it back to life together — this time as Discoveries by Colleene & Rebecca.

Blending Colleene’s history with Rebecca’s decades of interior design experience, they’ve reimagined the store with passion and care — renovating the space, sourcing pieces from near and far, and curating an ever-changing mix of furniture, décor, and more. Each item is thoughtfully chosen and priced to make great style truly affordable.

For the sisters, Discoveries is more than a shop. It’s a creative collaboration and a labor of love, rooted in their Southwest Missouri heritage and their shared belief that a home should reflect personality, history, and style.
