Reflections from KC Cunningham
Chairman & Founder of Napa Home & Garden
If I know one thing for certain, it’s that life brings many challenges as well as opportunities. Building the Napa Home & Garden brand enriched our lives in ways my late husband Jerry and I could never have imagined.
When we first started Napa, I dedicated my energy to watching and learning from many of the great women in the Napa Valley interior design and wine businesses. Living in this distinctive region provided the perfect backdrop for Jerry and I to understand the wholesale trade and use our love of home, garden and entertaining to start our business. We fully embraced the California-casual lifestyle and simple elegance of the Napa Valley wine culture. In hindsight, I never dreamed Napa would become a nationally recognized brand in home and garden. But here we are.
Jerry was the optimist and the risk taker, so even though we didn’t know much about the wholesale business it never occurred to him we wouldn’t succeed. I do believe our inexperience actually worked to our advantage. We didn’t know what we didn’t know and made a lot of mistakes along the way. However, we were steadfast in our focus in finding great looking product that we both loved. I was never driven by industry norms, Jerry would always encourage me to buy what spoke to me, regardless of trends. This was the key to our growth in those initial years. It was just that simple.
We were so fortunate to travel the world together, Jerry the adventurer and I, the quintessential shopper. We learned about different cultures, we met artisans, business owners and agents, many of whom still work with us today. I am particularly proud of our partnerships with trail-blazing women business owners in countries dominated by men. Their products are as relevant today as they were then. It has been a thrill to watch their families grow and their businesses thrive.
I am also proud of all of the Napa employees that have made the company what it is today. So much talent has joined our family over the years, and I am thankful many are still with us. They make a difference every day and have filled me with endless gratitude.
What I have learned over the past 25 years is that life has a long runway, and you can achieve more than you might ever have imagined. Here’s to 25 more and beyond!
