BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Basking Ridge sisters Desiree Mazzarese and Stephanie Ossorio are sharing some "bittersweet news." They are closing their two businesses, Guest House and LuLu Kids, at the end of the month.

"I will be moving to London next month with my family for my husband’s business, therefore, I will be closing GUEST HOUSE at the end of April," Mazzarese told Patch.

Mazzarese first opened the boutique home decor store, Guest House, in September 2021 at 31 South Finley Ave. Then Mazzarese teamed up with Ossorio to open LuLu Kids Style at the end of March 2022 in the same location.
