apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

yes! so glad to see a post about this store on my first visit to the site. i first stumbled on this couple and their dusty collection of signs sometime last summer. it found it a little intimidating to walk all the way inside, partly due to sensory overload. i'll have to pay another visit soon.

I wish they had a website...looks amazing!

i went in the other day captivated by the fun and bright signs. one sweet baby blue enamel tray caught my eye- about 8 inches in diameter- the cost a whooping $225!!!!!! i walked straight out and now just lust from the sidewalk. also, when i went i didn't see any french signs, although there was, if i remember correctly a lot of rolling stones concert memorabilia.

i pass by this store almost everyday on my way to and from work and every time there is something different in their display flowing from doorstep to sidewalk curb. I finally stopped by one day and noticed many many enamel signs both in english and french. If you listen to the owners speak, you can assume the accent is more than just their way of speech but also their knowledge of an object's francophone authenticity. Make sure you ask for prices. I thought the stickers on each item were prices but that would have made them waaayyy overly-pricey. This is not your average antique shop we've seen for decades on Atlantic Avenue. This funky, vibrant, mainly 50's-60's era vintage item shop shows the change Boerum Hill was counting on. The stagnant antiques scene finally has some new blood on the block.
