Spring is in the air! Birds are chirping, coats are coming off, and we’re all dreading the necessary (yet evil!) spring cleaning. Instead of going full-throttle into organization mode, how about buying something to give your apartment that much-needed facelift? Our local shops have plenty of home decor options at a variety of price points that are sure to help your abode get out of it’s winter rut. And now that it’s warm enough to paint outside, try investing in a fixer upper/game changer that just needs a little TLC. (Try not to use aerosol paint.)
While we were spray painting beer bottles in a blizzard to adorn the back wall of From The Source for our Valentine’s Market on Saturday, I said to the crew, “it doesn’t matter how it looks, nobody is going to see it anyway.” So much for encouragement and optimism!
Our vendors fought the snow and ice and set up their lovely tables and just as noon struck the sun came out and all our wonderful Greenpointers friends miraculously showed up for a truly magical day.
These stackable antique metal chairs are the perfect “usable” home accent piece. They come in a variety of colors and not one is the same as the other. This ups the unique-ness factor.
Come by the showroom and warehouse (69 West Street) and check out other unique, antique and reclaimed gift itemsthat From The Source offers!

It’s gotten colder, and as guests stream in, you may be wondering where to put all those winter layers and wraps. Not to worry, the branches of our Wild Coat Tree stand ready to receive. No need to get out the ornaments, just hang your jackets and scarves and enjoy the party! Isabeau over at Worksong Chinese Medicine on Franklin has one & it feels so well suited to her always tranquil space. Wild Coat Tree $350.
