Inhabit is a modern design enthusiast's dream!…read more This large, beautiful space is located in the soon-to-be hopping Coal Yard shopping district of Irvington. Here you will find a sprawling showroom filled with mid-century inspired sofas and credenzas, unique lamps and accent pieces, and locally-made wall flats, lighting and bedding that are produced onsite. This is definitely not a Value City Furniture or Home Goods, so don't come here expecting to spend less than a pretty penny, but the items they offer are stylish and comfy to boot. At the very least, it's a great place to stop in to gain inspiration for your own home; the showroom pieces rotate frequently. And it's always a plus in my book to celebrate local business!

HD has the widest and most variegated array of gifts, art, and design crafts that I've seen in any store in town. It's packed wall-to-wall with stuff and yet never feels stuffy or cramped. Quite the opposite, it's laid out perfectly, celebrating the unique wares from tons of local artisans and creators. You'll find snarky dishtowels and antique lunchboxes, fandom stickers and Irvington home goods, gemstones and t-shirts, and everything in-between. HD is also a big scene supporter, always poised to partner and elevate other small business owners and artists in the neighborhood and the city. Take a bit of extra time next time you're in Irvington to look through and chat. You're guaranteed to walk away with something you didn't know you needed.

I stopped by toward the end of the year and they had a nice selection of holiday-themed items. The store is of course geared toward home furnishings but they have some gift-type items as well. As far as I can tell, they most likely rotate what they showcase in the store as the season goes but many things can be purchased online. During my visit, they happened to be doing a monthly wine tasting and I proceeded to sample several wines. The wines can be purchased in-store and online. Even during these times I would like to "see" things as I shop (but maybe don't "touch"?), and Two Chicks District Co. is worth a visit. The store isn't big but depending of when you go it won't be a full house. I chatted with the staff during the wine tasting, and I am sure they will be knowledgeable and helpful with your shopping needs.

One of the casualties of the pandemic was countless established local furniture stores shutting…read moretheir doors -- not to mention some of the big box ones. So it was exciting to see one of our local spots, Frontdoor Home Design, expand its operations at the same time. Previously located on Washington Street, it shifted to the space that used to house Coal Yard Coffee, and has brightened up the block in more ways than one. Frontdoor offers tons of furniture, lighting, and home goods -- a remarkable selection packed cozily into a tiny space, which uses its square footage effectively without feeling too cramped to get around. If anything it displays the owner's talents for setting a vibe in any space, as it's completely unrecognizable from when it used to be a coffee shop. But the most hopeful thing about Frontdoor is getting the design expertise that they offer. It's as much as service as it is a shop, and you can easily wile away an afternoon brainstorming and ideating about what's possible in spaces of your home that you didn't even imagine could change. If you've passed by but haven't popped in, it's time to change that!

I stopped by Foundry 317 during a recent jaunt through Broad Ripple during unseasonably warm temps…read more I parked my car and just enjoyed wheeling around the area for a bit. Foundry 317 is along the canal right on Westfield Boulevard. Foundry 317 focuses on home decor and furniture. I clearly arrived right at the tail-end of the holiday season and a good number of the items either had a holiday theme or fit within the holiday season. Items included antiques, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, festive accents, candles, and other overall housing items. Foundry 317 has a parking lot, though I was actually wheeling there. There's a small ramp up to the sidewalk if you approach it from the right (facing Foundry 317). The doorway is pretty workable and I found the interior to be surprisingly accessible (though I will admit I was taking extra caution given some of the prices!). As I was wheeling, I knew it was pretty unlikely I'd actually buy anything on this visit as it would have been difficult to carry back to my car. However, I definitely saw some items I loved and can easily see myself returning in the near future. The employee I encountered was friendly, the environment was warm and inviting, and I really loved some of the smaller items. I'm a candle freak and definitely would like to return for those. I've always found this section of Westfield Blvd. a little hit-and-miss. The sidewalk is kind of cracked and it's somewhat uneven, however, there's much to love here and I loved the efforts toward accessibility. This is definitely a little gem. I'd seen it before, however, I've never been by when they were open. I finally got the chance to visit, and I'm definitely impressed. I'll be back.

It truly is a treat to explore this homey little shop. Decorate has tons of cute housewares, candles, decor, jewelry, kitchen accessories, etc. My favorite collection of items Decorate regularly stocks is their Indianapolis neighborhood gifts -pillows, candles, glassware, and more items specific to Indianapolis, and even some specific neighborhoods (ex. Bates-Hendrix, Butler Tarkington, Meridian Kessler, Fountain Square etc.). The neighborhood candles are probably my favorite because they offer a great variety, each neighborhood has their own unique scent, and they make awesome house warming gifts. Even though the actual shop isn't very big, the variety of items is vast, and everything in the shop is carefully selected and laid out. I've always felt that everything I've bought from Decorate is unique and different than anything I've seen in similar shops. They also have the cutest seasonal items, so if you're looking for a gift for a specific holiday or time of year, you'll have plenty to choose from. PRO TIP: they usually have a selection of sale items available in store, so definitely make it a priority to stop in and shop. I promise you won't regret it.
