OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! How did I not know about this until now!! My girlfriend told me about this great little store in down town Mesa (Arizona) called FOUND. So we hopped in the car to go check it out..
This amazing store is owned by Kristin and Dan Alber who first introduced their great style when opening the boutique next door Domestic Bliss in 1999. For those of you who are readers of the courageous Nie Nie dialogues, this is one of her favorite stores. Cody and I have always dreamed of Reclaimed one day being an actual storefront and we envisioned exactly this! The perfect combination between story-worn pieces and clean crisp accents. Even the building is identical to our dream. Old exposed brick walls with tons of windows to fill the space with lots of light. My feeling on this store is mixed between love and jealousy! Haha
I’m taking Cody there today… lets see how fast his heart beats when he steps in to “glorious-ness”!
-The one interesting thing is they do not have an online store and haven’t seemed to have tapped into the online world too much yet… maybe we can help!
I decorated my whole home with new lighting fixtures while I was there (in my head)! You know those old large white school house lamps… yep, they have those! I even found a hanging lamp made out of an old washing machine drum!
This look seems to be in and I like it! Have you seen the new Restoration Hardware catalogs? I love that they are finding individual designers from around the world for their new lines.
The tags are all made of old photographs…because as you know- everything has a story.
Thursday evenings FOUND has happy hour from 5-7 to give people who’s schedules interfere with the normal business hours a time to shop and visit! Love this idea!!
This table of yummies looks so inviting! I am going to start collecting the items I need so I can copy this table setup for my next get together!
Code and I are headed out for the day… you know where we are going! I think we might also go to the Heard Museum downtown tonight. I have a free Culture Pass! Going to be such a great day!
