The weekend didn’t seem too busy.  There were plenty of hours with no customers in the shop, but here we are on our Monday off and there’s much replenishing to do, so maybe it was a good sales weekend after all. Tomorrow will be a big shopping day. Yay! We’re in search of dressers, desks, coffee tables and kitchen/dining tables, but only what can fit in the van and shop of course, which means we’ll pick up a single dresser.  Nah! It’s not that bad.

More to follow on the new merch later this week, but for now we say a fond farewell to some of our favorite pieces that have been with us since the beginning (3 weeks ago). Our first child (above).  We played it safe with a “shabby sleek” look and a pretty patina top.  Going to a photo studio on Long Island. The orange dresser.  A mid century piece we found locally, near death.  The design was done with masking tape. Heading to New Jersey.

The copper tub.  We spent so much time and effort trying to remove that patina.  In the end, the patina was stronger than us and we grew to love it.  So did the person who bought it. Also, going to NJ.

Our sweet skinny red-n-wood side table left us for Manhattan late last week. She didn’t take up much space in the shop.  Wasn’t any trouble at all.

This drop leaf table was with us since the very beginning prior to opening when we were selling strictly online while renovating.  We were completely perplexed as to why nobody was buying it as it’s the perfect table for a small city apartment.  Turns out, it’s going to a country home in New Hampshire, so what do we know?

Some of the items we sell do stay in Brooklyn, but that’s how it went last week.  We gotta get moving on the new stuff this week!
