“I grew up in Boca Raton, and my husband opened his first store in Boca. We are coming full circle,” Stephanie Molyneux said. The couple sells European-inspired, coastal-chic furniture as well as industrial-style furniture.
They also have a boutique at 2050 N. Federal Highway, Delray Beach, as well as a warehouse open to the public in Deerfield Beach. “We offer something a little different in each store, so it’s exciting to visit each location,” she said.
Hate to go grocery shopping? Well, download an app that will arrange Publix Super Markets deliveries, and you don’t have to go anymore.

Customers can download the app or go to www.shipt.com to sign up for a membership to begin shopping and scheduling deliveries. They can join the app in its beta version for $49 and get one year free of delivery charges on orders over $35. Any items sold by Publix can be included in the order.
Shipt, which is not affiliated with or endorsed by Publix, launched a beta test in Tampa early August, and also has rolled out in Birmingham, Dallas and Nashville.

Corcoran agents Randy Ely and Nicholas Malinosky just listed a new oceanfront house at 6125 N. Ocean Blvd., Ocean Ridge, for $18.95 million.
“This is the first spec house in the estate section of Ocean Ridge where a property for a new development has not been available until now,” Ely said. By estate section, he’s referring to this property and a half-dozen of its neighbors, each with a single-family home on 400-foot-deep, direct-oceanfront lots.
This house, which is slated to be completed in 14 months, will be built by Mark Timothy Inc. (principal Mark Pulte), designed by Affinity Architects with interior designs by Marc Michaels.
According to the deed recorded July 7, 6125 North Ocean Boulevard LLC bought the property from Sherry Monroe Broadhead, an individual and trustee, for $5.5 million. Mark Timothy Inc. is listed as the authorized agent for 6125 North Ocean Boulevard LLC.
VRM Companies’ St. George at Delray Beach development, on North Federal Highway one block north of George Bush Boulevard in Delray Beach, went to market in late February, and was sold out by July. Designed by Richard Jones and engineered by Schnars Engineering, the project comprises 38 two-story Bermuda-style townhouses. Featuring two floor plans, the 2,400-square-foot units have three bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, two-car garages and loft areas.
The project broke ground a month ago and will be completed in about a year. Prices ranged from the low $400,000s to $600,000, with the Corcoran Group handling the sales. A big plus: Each unit will have a two-car garage and driveway, said Corcoran agent Cameron Sydenham.
“Compared to other urban developments where guest parking is a nightmare, St. George has no parking issues. It’s also low density, with only a total of 38 units spread out over three acres.”
The majority of the buyers will be local residents, he predicted.
Because of the Florida Clerks’ significant budget deficit of $22.4 million for the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30, Palm Beach County Clerk’s Office’s courtside budget was cut $2.6 million.
