The Brackett and Company story began in Douglas, Michigan, in 2006, in the welcoming resort community of Saugatuck-Douglas. What started as a home furnishings store grew over the years into a refined boutique focused on curated accents and gifts. In Fall 2024, Tim & Lincoln made the meaningful decision to bring that experience back to Tim's hometown of Monticello, Illinois. The return was personal. It was about investing in a community they care about and offering something that had been missing: a local boutique home furnishings experience that feels both polished and genuinely approachable. The store's atmosphere is intentionally warm, filled with inviting scents and background music, and staffed by people who genuinely enjoy helping you find the right piece.
