Remember how I mentioned I was trying not to plan every little detail of the trip?
Well, it turned out that we may or may not have crammed any idea of a plan into one day...and so I'm hoping that today is just as fun filled...even if we've already completed much of my plan...
Neither here nor there...This is what we did yesterday:
Ok. Not really. But we did see this lovely cat outside one of the stores yesterday.
Hello Captain Kitty!! (Yes. that is it's real name... think I'd make that up?)
Moving along.
So, there is this really cool area of St. Louis called the Cherokee-Lemp neighborhood to which I was introduced just last week. (Remember that Retro 101 store? Yeah...same area)
Cherokee Antique Row really went well with the Rents. They adore antiquing...it's all about the hunt...and so this was a hit.
The first store we tackled was Elder's Ltd. This place was packed. They had a particularly good selection of dining and bedroom furniture...beautiful sideboards...so if you're looking for some gorgeous and reasonably priced antiques...this is a great place to go.
I also found this:
It is an old library table. My idea for modern day usage is to build a platform and bolt the desk to it, and then use it as a kitchen island....or, I mean, you could use it as a desk...
I also found these awesomely beautiful and detailed summer fireplace screens:
At $125 a piece these were at the best price and in the best shape of all of the screens I found yesterday.
My Dad pointed out that they would be beautiful as a piece of art on a wall...so no worries, you don't have to have a fireplace to appreciate these.
And though these may not be practical for today's travels, they sure would be a perfect accent for a corner in your house... really.
They even have initials!! So personal. So cool.
As you can see, this store was the perfect way to start our shopping adventure yesterday....I will be letting ya'll know about the other places we visited (and will visit) as the week goes on...
...so keep your eyes peels
Today we are visiting downtown St. Charles, MO and later going to Kirkwood, MO for some more shopping.
Can you tell what we like to do together?
Cheers to good finds and good family!
