When four friends with diverse backgrounds and varied tastes decided to start their own business, it made sense that their creation would be something original. And Casa Nova certainly fits the bill.

Unique to the area because of its distinctive pieces and metropolitan vibe, Casa Nova, which means “New House” in Portuguese, offers stylish home furnishings, original art, gifts and accessories inside its cozy South Tampa building. Its transitional mix of items are neither too contemporary nor too traditional; rather, they fit a style referred to as Classic Modern, which is driven by contemporary influences in proportion, color and pattern to create a look that is fresh and light -- not heavy and outdated. Casa Nova furnishings blend clean, sophisticated lines with traditional concepts that endure. Themes from a variety of different eras converge to espouse a free-for-all design philosophy. The result is a wonderful selection of eclectic pieces that work just as easily in a Hyde Park Bungalow as a Channelside loft.

“It all fits together,” says co-owner Charlie Hounchell. Charlie and fellow-owners Linda Connelly, Stephen Gay and Barbara Lynch hand picked every item. What they’ve selected is a wide range of stylish offerings from throughout the world that include sofas, chairs, dining room tables, ottomans, African bowls and bracelets, lamps, chandeliers, frames. armoires, resin planters, scented candles and vases. On the walls at Casa Nova, one also finds original artwork for sale produced by local talents.
“There’s really a little bit of everything here,” Barbara says.
“We’ve got a passion for this and we enjoy what we are doing. Casa Nova will also stage your home or condominium for resale, which is a great edge in this newly competitive real estate market. Check it out! Casa Nova is making the world a better place, one home at a time.
