new store :: douglas designer consignment
fyi ... a new store opened today that's worth checking it out.
its called "douglas designer consignment" and its just that. beautiful designer furniture and home accessories in the douglas design district.
here it is on the northwest corner of douglas & grove (across the street from east high).
they have all consignment pieces but from the looks of it they only accept the best, in like-new condition, largely in the "new traditional" style (contemporary + traditional, my favorite). the great thing is, the prices are definitely not what you would pay for new. they have multiple rooms— which were somewhat sparsely merchandised (hey, its the first day open)— with items ranging from $30 pillows or glassware set, to a $200 pair of sconces, to tapestries and beautiful, quality furniture in the hundreds and my favorite...one absolutely gorgeous, huge china cabinet at $2,000.
basically, its like shopping at a much smaller ferguson phillips or traditions and paying way less. or better yet, at an estate sale of the most beautiful well designed home.
and, if you know anything about shopping consignment/ antique, you know you have to stop by frequently, as you'll often see new stuff in each time you're there.
so, ever wonder what to do with your $5,000 couch that you're ready to switch out but don't want to sell it at a garage sale for nothing? these guys want you to take it there and sell it consignment— with them.
and if i had a $5,000 couch, i would. they look like they know what they're doing. great taste.
p.s. my apologies for the flawed photos. i forgot bring my camera today but these are a few shots i snapped with my tab. i'll post better photos next time.
go forth and consign. or buy consignment. at the very least... stop by!

:: the orange dress
you should bookmark it.
its a UK company and not only are the prices amazing, but they have free shipping and free returns!
the US sizes seem pretty true to actual but their hems are a little short so be careful and selective. i encourage you to watch the video of the items in your basket where available. its a great feature and you can really see how the dress is made and moves much better in the video compared to still photography on leggy models.
go forth and dress up with color!

a hansome classic
going towards the light.
i was so excited when i saw this traditional long-arm reading lamp. i have been looking for a lamp like this for so long and the quality and finish of this one is so great. the color is a 50/50 combination of copper and brass and has adjustable arms. the lamp is heavy and looks like a vintage classic but its brand new.
if he doesn't go to your home or office, he'll have a welcome spot at mine :)
idea: so classic on a bedside table.
yours for: $25 SOLD
specs: 8" base and approx 28" tall in this photo

springs sprigs
pretty little pitcher .
it has a unique, rough and sandy texture on the outside but the colors and the pattern are so wonderfully soft and feminine.
idea: if not for spring flowers, why not use it to hold your makeup brushes?
yours for: $10
specs: 8" x 6" at its tallest and widest points including handle and spout

baskets
decorative and functional.
i fell in love with these baskets. they are the perfect low-profile, organic touch that every space needs to feel balanced.
idea: piles of papers always look better when kept in a stylish basket.
yours for: $8 (pair)
specs:
large basket measures 14.5" diameter x 5.5" tall
medium basket measures 13" diameter x 5" tall
