About Us

 

Steve & Lee

Steve Appel and Lee Whitehead grew up in the Baltimore area and have been pals since grade school. Like most best friends, they talked about starting their own business together and in 1985 took the plunge with the opening of the eclectic Nouveau Contemporary Goods in Savage Mill. Today, Nouveau has a thriving location in the newly revitalized Belvedere Square.

After 20 years of running one of the hottest home furnishings and accessories shops in town, the move to interior décor was a natural evolution for Steve and Lee. With the launch of Whitehead & Appel, they are looking forward to making homes and offices around the country even hipper.
