| - This place was featured in an issue of the Phoenix magazine, so my friend and I, per our usual Sunday outings, went out to explore. It's kind of off the main path, so be on the lookout for the big sign along 7th that tells you where to turn.
I didn't find anything to buy here today, but it's a great space. The owners have this garage space that they fill with really metro and retro furnishings. Very true to the name. They have great pieces like this Frank Lloyd Wright armchair I thought was fantasic. Alas, the chair was a bit out of my league (can anyone spare me $1500?), but I'd expect as much since it was an FLW original. There were other pieces that were a bit more wallet-friendly, so it's a good place to go to look for some fun furnishings to liven up your own space.
Also a plus: the owners are really friendly. When we pulled up, they were chatting with some folks outside the garage, and when they left, they were really quick to acknowledge us and ask us about what we were in the market for. They didn't persevere, either. They just told us that if we didn't find anything today, they always have new stuff coming in, and to check them out again. I intend to.
Sidenote: There's a cat leashed up as kind of a greeter at the entrance to the garage, which I found kind of cute, so that's just an added bonus.
