I grew up doing this and hospital corners (thank you mom.) I much prefer it.

Yeah! Tetsushi's work is awesome! We've carried Kristina's textile pieces at Independent Art Market for the past few years. I wish shipping his furniture to St. Louis was more viable, cause his work is gorgeous.

TeDe is AWESOME! And they are super nice people, too.

hmamajuju,

it helps that my wife is a potter, so we're already inundated with dishes that don't get sold. that's one of those problems you don't mind having. especially, if i may be so bold, when they are as cool as my wife's dishes are. =^D

They come in a variety of styles and can make wonderful wall decorations inside when clustered in groupings of various styles. STL has tons of these, and you can find them in antique stores for $2-20 each, as we're a very brick city.

Wood construction was actually banned for a really long time in STL city proper due to a massive fire in 1849.

I agree with KTG. If the cushion was integrated in the overall design better it would work... better. It's sudden opacity and more rounded shape next to the wonderful translucency and very squared shape of the actual chair are a bit off-putting. Overall it's ok, but that one detail bugs me.

Their warehouse store on Morganford Ave., just a few blocks away from their original store on Grand Blvd. has AWESOME recreations of vintage Atomic Age designer rooms straight out of magazines. They've got tons of great pieces, and the last time I was in there were several folks in from Ohio and Wisconsin shipping fine vintage modern furnishings out of state.

Their kitchenwares at the Grand location are phenomenal, too. We just picked up a vintage mixer with bowl from there. Love it! And we saw the dish set in the picture, and really had to talk ourselves out of it and leave before we splurged. It's truly a lovely set in person.

At any rate, Pixie 9 on Cherokee Avenue's antique row also often has great stuff too, though there furniture selections are spottier since their focus is clothing. One of the great thing about STL is you can still get a lot of the atomic age pieces in excellent condition from little old ladies (or their kids dealing with their estates.) There are several dealers who deal exclusively online and several boutiques.

This store is excellent at what it does. I've never found anyone who does what they do quite as well in any other city.
