ACC wins national ARTS award
By Paul Weideman
‘It’s like the Oscars of the furniture world,” ACC owner
Leslie Livingston said about the store’s recent ARTS Award.
The Santa Fe firm won the top award for the Midwest/
Southwest Region in the category Retailer - Furniture
Store.
It was the 22nd annual ARTS Award event, which is
sponsored by Accessories Resource Team, Charlotte, N.C.,
in partnership with the Dallas Market Center.
ACC was formerly known as American Country
Collection and carried a correspondingly traditional line.
Today, the store swings equally into the contemporary
design realm with it’s very eclectic “transitional” mix.
“We have antiques from India and other parts of Asia
and now Alsace,” said Livingston, owner with her husband,
Chip. “We kind of go in spurts, depending on what we’re
finding. At one time we were buying a ton of Dutch
pine and now it’s a lot from the Alsatian region. I think
it’s because that area has not been mined as heavily for
antiques.”
Leslie Livingston takes nearly 10 yearly trips to High
Point, N.C., Atlanta, Dallas, New York, and San Francisco
to find furniture and accessories.
The fact that ACC has stayed small has probably helped
stay healthy in a down economy. “We have been asked
