Driven by passion and purpose.
Born out of a serendipitous encounter and a shared passion for beautifully curated spaces, Good Riddance was founded by two women with a unique mix of business acumen and design savvy. When Heidi Ottley Sinnott and Caroline Persohn’s powers combined, they created an enterprise that goes beyond a high-end home furnishing store. From consigning, consulting, and organizing to helping with moving and transitions, they tackle every job efficiently, beautifully, and with uncompromising transparency and finesse.
What we believe in…..
Giving Back
A driving force for Good Riddance is our desire to give back to the community. We work with many of the non-profits in the Valley to help facilitate donations and match needs with items in our showroom.
Sustainability
We are champions of sustainability, providing a shopping opportunity for clients to style their homes with unique, upcycled pieces. We live in a consumerist world where fabrication and shipment of new goods has grave consequences to our environment. By re-homing used items, we are helping to save the planet one club chair at a time. It may not be a quick fix, but upcycling is the future!
HEIDI OTTLEY SINNOT
You know those people who color code their sock drawer? That’s Heidi. To say she’s “highly organized” would be an understatement; Heidi’s Post-it notes have footnotes. Heidi has been fortunate to make a career out of her hyper-attention to detail. She’s a seamless coordinator who can quarterback the game plan from start to finish. And on top of that, she plays well with others; she truly values the relationships she creates with her clients and colleagues.
Because of this natural knack for running the show and her interpersonal skills, Heidi has worked in a variety of event planning and PR positions from The White House and Bush/Quayle ’92 to KKR in San Francisco and strategic communications in Seattle. Heidi finally made it back to Ketchum where she started her own event planning business before co-founding Good Riddance.
CAROLINE PERSOHN
Design and styling are in Caroline’s DNA. From as far back as she can remember, rearranging furniture, styling shelves and Truffle Pigging (AKA hunting for antiques) have been her passion and lifeblood. Inspired by all fields of design, she was unsure what path her career would take, but with consignment shopping being her favorite pastime it was clear that someday she would have a store of her own. Using her background in interior design, curating and styling are now part of her everyday job description and it couldn’t be a more perfect fit! Caroline’s appreciation of one-of-a-kind pieces, eclectic details, upcycled treasures, and the juxtaposition of old and new are the perfect ingredients for success..
Having Graduated Cum Laude from FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) with an Associate of Arts Degree in Visual Communications, Caroline’s education and work experience have given her an expansive background in antique inquest and consignment curation. Caroline’s philosophy is to create “functional beauty” when it comes to designing spaces for her clients.
