The Consign House Opens In Hixson Aug. 5

  • Friday, August 1, 2025
The Consign House, a curated home décor and fashion consignment shop, is opening its doors at 5228 Hixson Pike, Suite D. 

"There’s a new buzz in town," officials said, "This hive of style is owned and operated by Chattanooga native Melissa Poole, who brings her passion for design, community and all things beautifully gathered right back home." 

Consignments begin this coming Tuesday.

Ms. Poole originally founded The Consign House in Florida, where her talent for helping people find their “missing piece” became well known.
Now back in her hometown, she’s bringing her signature blend of warmth, eye for style and a touch of Southern charm—along with her recognizable honeybee logo—to Hixson.

What Makes This Hive Different:
• No appointment needed for clothing, handbags, shoes, hats, or jewelry—only large furniture needs to be coordinated.
• Wish List program lets customers request exactly what they’re looking for—when it flies in, they’ll be the first to know.
• "Catch them live daily on Facebook for their '5 in 5' — five hot items in five fast minutes. They’ll show off new arrivals and highlight wish list treasures.
• Payouts anytime, no waiting until the end of the month.
• Flat-fee in-home design services to create spaces that feel beautifully curated and uniquely yours.

“We're not just another store full of stuff,” said Ms. Poole. “Every piece we bring in is thoughtfully
consigned and placed with purpose—like bees to a flower, we’re all about connection, intention and creating personal spaces.”

Items Accepted:
• Furniture (text or email pictures prior to bringing in);
• Home Décor (art, lamps, textiles, mirrors, and more); and
• Women’s Clothing & Accessories (handbags, shoes, hats, jewelry and more)

"A seasoned interior stylist and home stager, Melissa has worked with top designers and everyday homeowners alike, always focused on helping people uncover their personal style—without overspending," officials said.

“I believe style doesn’t need a price tag. It just needs a story. That’s what I love helping people find," Ms. Poole said.

Store hours will be Tuesday – Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday from 1-6 p.m.
