McDonough's Antiques — Local services in Pittsburgh

My husband and I love antique stores, and this is a museum’s attic! It has everything and anything your heart desires. Yes, you have to go on a treasure hunt, but that’s the fun of it all. I found a lovely tea set that has all the soft colors I need. I’m so happy. Mr. McDonough, owner, is so sweet and resembles Santa Claus...hey, he just might be...ha. ha. Ya’ never know...maybe the elves are in the back in some of the beautiful furniture pieces he has on display.

Opposite of what anyone would call a pleasant and tended shop! Old chap sat outside the front door, I suppose, because he almost couldn't breathe or find a place to sit like me. My 53-year old lady friend couldn't go in for it being a single one-way footpath. I'm an antique person - never in my 68 years have I seen such a precarious awful Claustrophobic Can of Clutter!
