Locale: On the edge…read moreof commercial sector of old downtown Pittsboro in the intersection between Hillsboro and Salisbury Street, there is a corner store that focuses on antique/vintage furniture and decorative arts peppered with a few current items. The store's ethos focuses on sustainability, but not just for the sake of selling "old things" but rather as a replacement for "new things" and to prevent such items from accumulating in a landfill as they clean and repair (when needed) items before setting them on display. As you walk toward the store you are greeted with a welcoming blue-green colored sign, announcing that you have arrived at your destination. Ambiance: On a hot and sunny summer day, it is very nice to be hit with a wall of cool air as you walk through the door and begin to browse. Not too cold, but just right. Don't you just hate walking into a freezer when you're dressed for the beach? Don't worry about that here. Unlike many antique/vintage goods stores, this one has plenty of room to walk without bumping into other people or items. Also unlike many similar businesses, the items are displayed very neatly and with thought. For example, a 1930s vanity and a Victorian armoire were appropriately staged with accessories that would have been used originally. This helps design-challenged people with ideas on how to personalize the item after purchase. In the Bag: The assortment of items runs the gamut from Victorian pieces to a more contemporary selection, although the bulk of the items are early 20th century to most of the "younger" pieces being more than 30 years old. There were also some Mid-Century modern pieces like the patio set, and the dinette. Additionally there were some items that harken back to the time when North Carolina was mostly an agricultural state and these items provide a first-hand glimpse at how life was at that time, such as the vintage enamel chamber pot. On the back wall there is a selection of vintage housewares, and collectable glasses. Behind the cash register is a doorway that leads to a stock room that is filled with merchandise, likely not accessible to the public. So although the sales floor has somewhat fewer items than many similar stores, because the layout was thoughtfully planned, there is plenty of backup merchandise in the case where many items are sold at once. Considerations: This store provides its clientele with unique and vintage items that you can actually use in your home. The selection feels curated and gives the impression that the store owner has given consideration to the selection and presentation, which gives this place a polished and professional feel. The prices are quite good, so you can expect items to be priced well lower than new items (in "normal" non-high end stores) albeit with the better build-quality that cannot be accessibly found today. If you can, I highly recommend this place to do furniture shopping. You may find something here that you will like, and you will be helping the environment by keeping vintage furniture out of landfills.
