Axis Modern — Local services in Charleston

Do you consider yourself chichi, stylish, eclectic or whatever postmodern adjective that is currently in vogue? Are you in the wedding industry and accentuate your S when you talk? Do you tend to abbreviate words: adorable = adorbs, totally = totes, etc.? Selvedge denim and locally sourced goods? If so, The Island Bazaar is a place to check out.

Paul has antique, mid century, and unique furniture that will make your abode look great even if you find yourself in an over mortgaged, generic, track home on Daniel Island or in Mt. Pleasant. Yes, you have to cross some bridges to get there, but don't worry - your chichi stylish friends in their yoga pants rarely ever venture out of the whole foods parking lot. You wont be spotted on James Island.

If you find yourself living on James Island or Folly, pay Paul a visit because he embodies why these locations are the best locations to do anything...

My wife and I have been driving by this shop for years, and finally made it in a few days ago while in search of a new dresser for our room.

Paul gave us room to scope out the shop, mentioning a couple of times to let him know if we had any questions. Eventually, we had a question about a beautiful MCM piece that looked like something between a hutch and a dresser. Paul came over and kindly informed us that it was a “gentleman’s cabinet” and proceeded to show how the upper portion of the piece opened up. He also gave us a brief history of the maker and showed us what great condition the piece was in.

By the next day, with some above and beyond assistance from Paul in moving the cabinet, we have a lovely old piece of furniture, in incredible shape, that we will likely pass down to our children....

This place is AMAZING, to say the least. Love that it's a locally owned and operated business but, I walk through and easily want to purchase at least half of the items in the store. Everything is tasteful, yet eclectic, and even better - it's easy to navigate. I've personally only dealt with, Paul. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable about everything, he's also extremely transparent and genuine. Added bonus, he's an absolute pleasure and quite entertaining to work with! I would recommend anyone that's looking for anything from larger pieces of furniture, an accent piece, tiny details to add to your space, a gift, or even just a piece of jewelry for a pick me up for yourself to check out The Island Bazaar...
