Stairway to heaven

We’re still out of breath from shadowing Dallas’ multitasking lotion, potion and candle guru Niven Morgan for an April FD Luxe profile. Since then, the Louisiana-born charmer has added yet another venture to his creature-comfort empire: NIVEN MORGAN AT CEBOLLA. The bijoux retail space sits atop the stairs at the Lovers Lane outpost of Cebolla Fine Flowers (4415 Lovers Lane, Dallas, 214-369-7673, cebollafineflowers.com). Morgan’s focus here is “bath and body, stuff for the home, stuff for the pool house … basically, anything to do with water.” Staples include his sexy trademark candles and body lotions, plus bath accoutrements — tissue boxes, waste baskets, soap dispensers — in materials such as woven leather and faux snake. (For the record: A candle box clad in real python is an $800 special order.) Woven baskets are perfect for fluffy towels, and the flame-free outdoor L.E.D. candles are a surprise hit. But our favorite play station is the DIY bath-salt bar where, for about $8 a scoop, pretty glass vessels are ready to be filled with salts in three classic Morgan scents: Gold, Lavender-Mint and Jean Baptiste. Coming soon? Morgan has sourced oversize pillows from Africa that he’s stuffing to become lounge-worthy bean bags. “Lordy, it’s a lot to juggle.”
