Katie Cashman: Co-Owner of Bungalow Road

"I love that I have become friends with our customers, and have created lasting relationships with so many people that would not exist if not for taking the leap of faith and making Bungalow Road happen!"

Tell us a bit about yourself...

I'm Katie Finn Cashman, born and raised in Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ which is home to the very first Bungalow Road!  I live with my husband and three kids in Bradley Beach, NJ.  Before our family began to grow, I worked as an event planner for a bank in NYC. As the kids got older, the life-long idea to build a business locally that would not only reflect my love of all things kitchen and gift-giving, but also provide a solid work foundation for others and allow me the flexibility to be with my family. I opened just that in Avon, NJ with success. The stars began to align and it was time to grow, and I met Kara. She was in a similar boat with her business and ready to make this dream a fast and fierce reality. Fast forward to the present... WE DID IT! I realized I couldn't do it alone, and by embracing that philosophy and the team we have in place, I wouldn't have been able to step away from Bungalow Road in the flesh and live in France with my family for a year. How's that for a strong team.. WOOT!

What might we catch you wearing?

I keep it simple with a dash of flare. I love dresses. You might see me in a solid colored sun-dress paired with drop earrings, a chunky bracelet and a cute pair of sandals. That's it. You know what they say... "sometimes less is more". Summer is my favorite season and did I mentioned I dresses?!

Where is your favorite hang?

My kitchen! I am mildly obsessed with all things kitchen, it is the heart of my home and I love adding to the ambiance. I love to entertain with my SCOUT Cooler, Coastal serving pieces, and starfish hand painted glasses.

What is the best Bungalow Road gift to give?

All of it! If I had to pick one, it would be the Blessings Bracelet! Nothing is better than giving someone a birthday gift they will treasure forever AND that brings meaning to their everyday. Click here and you will see what I mean.
