Reuse. Rehabilitate. Restore. Architectural salvage and repurposed pieces for the home.
Faux painted slate mantel. Faded and peeling. Needs to be repainted. $350 OBO Mark your calendars! April 10th. That’s the day of our first tag sale. We’ll have another one after the house is in contract to let go of the good stuff we need to keep for staging (and living) purposes. But April… Continue reading Save the Date! Moving Sale
Me at Coney or Nellie Bly. I know…I’m adorable. Fucked in Park Slope was inspired by NY Magazine’s “Reasons to Love NY” and wanted to do their own version on Brooklyn. Why is Brooklyn so badass? Here are my reasons: 1. Stoops! I loves to bullshit. What better pastime is there than hanging on… Continue reading Why is Brooklyn Badass?
My van was full of furniture for a week. I finally got up to Hudson Armory Art and Antiques to unload it on Saturday. The armory is owned and run by the Keegan family: Mom (Jean), Dad (Ed Sr) and Son (Ed Jr). They have an impressive selection of vendors with really decent pricing. A… Continue reading Hudson Armory

And what better time to start shopping (or dreaming) than Halloween? An authentic salvaged piece is… Continue reading Gargoyles and Griffins
Entertainment pour moi? Oh, you shouldn’t have! Yeah, so we got rained on a little at yesterday’s Brooklyn Flea. Beats standing there all day in the sweltering heat. Not such a bad day considering. We got rid of a few larger pieces, creating some much needed storage space. And Elvis has left the building! After… Continue reading Flea Finds
Emilia will be working with me every Sunday. The coldest day of the year didn’t keep people away from the Brooklyn Flea. What happened to the sun yesterday?! Man, was it cold out there!!! So, that’s my excuse for this semi lame post you are about to read. I didn’t get around the whole market… Continue reading Brooklyn Flea: And So It Begins
