The following collection of photos were taken during the inauguration ceremony for Alexandra Creamer’s new store Acqua Villa in La Romana on Friday October 27th 2012:  After the opening we got together with Alexandra to find out a little more about this new project: @cdcliving: How did the opening go? Alexandra Creamer: It went great! I’m very happy with the outcome. I had a lot of support from family members, friends and people that I had the chance to meet at the opening party. I couldn’t ask for more; but I’m very happy that it’s open and ready to go. @cdcliving: What inspired you to open this new store? Alexandra Creamer: I love art and to me the home is just an empty canvas that we need to paint on. I think every piece of the home should be an extension of who we are and what we love. I truly believe that what we place in our home is art itself. I had the chance to study design in Florence, Italy and explore that country as well as others surrounding it and feel that it solidified my love and appreciation for art and design. I also worked for many years with different companies where fashion/art/design were the most especial to the company’s growth which help me learn the business side of these three and also allowed me to learn to a great extend. @cdcliving: How would you describe Acqua Villa? Alexandra Creamer: I would describe it as Eclectic. It offers a little bit of everything with different components that fit different tastes and decor of different homes. Although I refer to it as eclectic, we do concentrate on down (feathers) decor cushions, big and small home accessories and Lines for the bedroom. We carry this very luxurious linen fabric organic bed sheets that I love and believe everyone should have a set in their homes. home decor @cdcliving: Anyone you would like to thank for their support? Alexandra Creamer: Everyone really, everyone who worked so hard and helped me get the store on track. It took a lot of patience to understand my vision, I wanted it to be great and didn’t want to settle for what is expected. I thank my parents for believing in me and trusting that I will make the right choice for the store. They are my support and my everything. @cdcliving: Do you have a message for your future customers? Alexandra Creamer: Please come and see us, you will not regret it. We put a lot of thought into the store and try our best to offer you something exclusive and different from anything you will find in town. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.
