So, this is my favorite antique spot in the entire Washington, Maryland, Northern Virginia area. Why? The owner and the selection.
Somehow, like freakin’ magic, this guy charms me into buying more furniture than my wife and I intended to buy (if we even intended to buy anything at all!). He’s a national treasure and we look forward to seeing him every time.
And, while the selection is completely random, they always seem to have at least one thing I can’t live without. Prices are good too. Check this place out.

Thanks for the fun...

Another thing I appreciate about this store is that the prices - including for delivery - are very reasonable, especially for DC. It is almost singlehandedly furnishing my home with unique and sustainable items that I love and that have already proven they can stand the test of time. I can’t recommend this store...
