All I can say is, “Wow!”
You have to check out The House of Dang, if you are anywhere near. We went to visit it yesterday after reading about it in the Dallas Morning News several weeks back. It sounded intriguing. The paper had named it THE best new independent store of 2006. The article said that it was a mix of retro furniture, vintage accessories, and colorful home decor pieces.
As you can see from the slideshow, it’s a wonderful eclectic mix. Just what I want in MY house! Everywhere you turn, there is a new treasure. The prices are extremely reasonable. The owners, Andrew Bayer and Doug Voisin, have a clothing line, and they also sell on consignment for local artists and designers.
We loved the uncluttered feel to the place. All the little “tchotchkes” get the opportunity to really showcase. Although I reeeally wanted the gold mannequin, and fully believe that the black table and chairs belong in my house, I only left with a wonderful green pottery bowl, a wooden salad fork and spoon with deer horn handles, and a gold handbag.
I’ll go back, though, and bring home the rest one piece at a time.
Located near the intersection of Peak and Bryan, at 4219 Bryan in Dallas, Texas, the store is open 11-7 Tues-Sat and 1-5 on Sundays. If you get hungry on the trip, there is a Vietnamese restaurant across the street. I can vouch for it. There is also a Thai restaurant. Maybe go to both. I know that shopping makes ME hungry. I’ll see you there.
