"Clothing won't change the world - the women that wear them will"
The Perfect gift

Madonna + Summer
It all started with a passion to use their talents to the fullest and at the same time remain in Bismarck. LOT 2029 opened roughly 10 years ago when Madonna and Hope (Madonna’s youngest daughter) found the perfect space downtown to open a boutique. With Madonna having over 20 years of experience as an interior designer and Hope just graduating with a major in Fashion design, they created a store that featured both interests. Just a year later, LOT expanded to a second location in Fargo. From there, Hope branched off and went on to eventually create three more stores (LOT Sioux Falls, Mint +Basil, and Onyx + Pearl).
Summer was mixed into this scene helping with remodeling projects and picking up occasional shifts, but Summer had pursued her own venture as a teacher for the past eleven years. However, Madonna had always had a plan to get Summer more involved. Roughly three years ago, when the current kept space became available, Summer and Madonna officially started a business partnership. With the large space available in back, Madonna saw the future of furniture and home décor to finally have the spotlight it deserved –and Modern + Farmhouse was born! Throughout the process, Madonna’s husband,(Summer and Hope’s dad), Gary, has been very involved, as well as Summer’s husband, Steven.
We continue to grow our concept and find new merchandise to bring to our customers. To us, these stores are more than a business, but a place where we have put our blood, sweat, and tears! Thank you to all of you for supporting local and helping our dreams come true!
