Our Story

… is really a fairy tale!!

Kimberly and Charles lived and worked in New York City but always dreamed of owning their own business.
After searching around the tri-state area, Kim and Charles decided to open Once Upon A Table in 1998 in historic Chester amongst the backdrop of some of New Jersey’s most beautiful countryside. Originally conceived as a high-end gourmet bistro and catering business that also sold home accessories and furniture, Kim and Charles’ creativity for buying unique pieces of furniture and home accessories transformed Once Upon A Table into a home furnishings business. Customer requests for interior design services resulted in the creation of the Interior Design Studio in the Spring of 2000.
Today, Once Upon A Table is a full-service home furnishings and interior design store occupying a 5,000 square foot former general store. From the Old World charm and romantic grandeur of a bye-gone era to today’s sophisticated transitional style, Once Upon A Table’s eclectic mix of furniture and accessories will enhance the serenity and intimacy of your home with treasures you will cherish for a lifetime.
