Re-duse, Re-use, and Re-merchandise!



Re-purposed oxidized industrial table.  Perfect for mixed-use, indoor/outdoor setting.
Fabulously large wooden porthole taken off an old ship and fashioned into a mirror.  Hung as a chandelier or wall decor, it's a grand statement piece.


1870's law partner's desk from England paired with a mid-century French Provincial chest of drawers.
Framed stereographs of Mt. Hood climbers on a surveying adventure.  Bronze chief head book ends with great patina.

Today, we've been open for a total of one month to the public!  To celebrate, we decided to re-merchandise (move things around, take things out/in, Phil lifts things while I direct orientation) as to give our space a face lift. 

It'll take some time before we can get the word out that we're open, but the turn out has been phenomenal, so far.  People have stopped by on their way to Pete's Wine Shop next door, and are constantly saying, "Wow, we had no idea this was here! Bellevue really needs a place like this!" 

And we smile.

...but that doesn't beat the designers and decorators that were literally beating down our doors to open since they saw the butcher paper peeled off the windows.  Therefore, it is our duty as retailers to keep it interesting, refreshing and new.  You don't always need new stuff, just new ideas.
