The day is finally here, the ladies at St. David's Next-to-New have moved the store and are opened to the public in the remodeled space, a former Ace Hardware. First impressions: lots of light, lots of space and the same beautiful bargains they had at the last location. It doesn't seem quite as organized, but believe me they are working on it.
A view of the store from the glassware corner. Spacious, with large areas where they ladies can set up the little room displays they like so much.
Dishes, dishes and more dishes. When I stand in this section, I feel like I am at home. No really. My house is almost exactly like this. They had some great sets in stock, including a very interesting pattern by Noritake.
This petite chaise (You can recover it of course, unless you already have a blue flowered fan motif happening in the bedroom. Anyone? Anyone?) would be perfect in the boudoir paired with a small table and discreet floor lamp. I imagine a southern lady spending her morning hours with cup of tea and the a trashy novel.
I have my fingers crossed that no one picks up this lovely print. I really don't know where it would go, but it's very cheerful and quite dynamic.
This metal table/plant stand only needs a little paint to be a perfect addition to the patio or even the front room. It was a little pricey, but hopefully will stay around long enough to reach the deep discount phase.The old Next-to-New store was at
