Right now I am very much focused on furnishing my brand new humble abode. I'll admit it, I'm having serious commitment issues. On the positive side, I've discovered several really cute/cheap furniture stores in the DC area.
The first one is Reincarnations Furnishings. I love this place! They have tons of mid-century design crammed into two floors, making one hell of an interesting show room. I've been back at least five times and I can't decide what to get because I love it all. They're on 14th and Rhode Island, and there's a Seven-11 across the street (hey, gotta know where to get a slurpee in this town).
The next one is RCKNDY on U St. I'm not gonna lie, I might have the spelling wrong. It's on U between 15th & 16th (closer to 16th). It's a relatively new story with really eclectic pieces, also in the mid-century design arena. The owner is really cool, and he has interesting pieces you wouldn't find anywhere else. I loved the vase made from white porcelain guns.
Finally, there is Urban Retreat, which is a discount store out in Reston. They have all the same furniture as Crate & Barrel, Restoration Hardware, etc. at half the price. I bought two chairs from them a couple years back, and they are both really well made. The only problem is I'm lazy and I hate hauling my cookies out to Reston. For the suburban dwellers, however, it's perfect.
