About Us

 

 

Meg and Scott McMillan are the couple behind independent homewares stores and lifestyle brand Tea Pea Homestore. Started 17 years ago as one of the pioneering online stores, Tea Pea has grown to two bricks and mortar stores and continues a growing online presence. 

 

Our founding values have remained firmly planted throughout this time, that of inspiration, creativity and generosity of knowledge. Meg and Scott are committed to bringing together independent brands and designers from New Zealand and around the World, curating the unique look and feel Tea Pea Homestore is known for. New and exciting brands are invited, and we continue to grow and support many of the existing brands we started out stocking and supporting.

 

Tea Pea Homestore's design leading stores evoke happiness and joy achieved by a winning mix of sought-after brands and tactile goods of colour and quality.
Whether you’re shopping in-store or online, expect friendly and knowledgeable staff to help and inspire. There’s a story behind every brand and product in-store that the team at Tea Pea love to share with you.

 

Meg and Scott live in a 1950’s house in the leafy Wellington suburb of Khandallah with their three lively children - Griffin, Coco and Rosie and Tibetan Spaniels - Wolfgang and Dolly, 37 fish and a pet mouse named Ralph. Scott is a partner in the marketing communications company, Once Upon a Time and a board member of Retail NZ. Each day is a jam-packed mix of the latest cushions, rugs, bedlinen and Cashmere, football, mountain biking, princesses, and uneaten lunches at the bottom of school bags.

 

A splendidly chaotic life.
