The space in a free-standing, one-story building previously housed a land-use architect, and before that, a jewelry shop.

Talbot has 10 years of experience as an interior designer with Lillian August, the Norwalk-based furniture and design chain, according to a news release.

She has designed interiors for hotels,

bed and breakfasts, physician offices, spas, nightclubs, commercial stores and residences.
