Anyone out there like to go to different places to find the perfect piece to decorate? If so, there's quite a few places in our neck of the woods that you should know about.
Junque, on Broadway, in the Lemp Brewery complex has all sorts of cool stuff. Old doors, mirrors, architectural items, furniture - you name it. I picked up a beautiful chest of drawers with mirror for just $125 not too long back. That same chest of drawers would have cost $400 or $500 if you bought it from a place on Cherokee. Junque is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, and sometimes not even then. It's a unique place for sure!
Another place that has some super stuff is Architectural Artifacts. It's located on Lafayette, right near Lafayette and Jefferson. I'm not sure they even have a sign...but you can't miss it with all of the salvaged stuff laying outside. This place seems to be more of a spot if you are looking for something cool for the backyard, or for the outside to landscape with.
Of course, there is Cherokee Street and Antique Row as well. Each store is pretty unique in its own regard, but most stores seem to have much more of a markup. If you are looking for furniture, Elder's is the spot for sure - but you will pay a premium. Other cool places on Cherokee include Lady Jane's, The Nostalgia Shop, Retro 101, and The Antique Armory.
Happy Hunting!
