Tiff's Charlotte Discoveries: Post and Gray

As I start off the year with good intentions to "do what I say I'm going to do", I spent a few days scouring the city. This week's pick is a straight forward, no frills place. Post and Gray, located in the historic South End and the sister company to Interiors Marketplace which is in Meyers Park, is actually a warehouse of sorts, filled with some antiques and one of a kind pieces, interesting accessories, and in my case, hope that I will find the next amazing purchase, and maybe get a deal on it.

I'll just tell you flat out, I did not get a deal, or find the next latest and greatest thing for the house. But I did see a lot of really nice pieces, and if I was in the market for buying a special piece of furniture, like a coffee table or a chest, I could have easily purchased a number of things. I loved their selection of unique case goods, and some of their lighting was also great.

This piece had a lot of charm with the hand painted element

I've been looking for a small media cabinet, this one was really cool but inside was an actual TV built-in. I tried to take a picture to show, but I couldn't open the cabinet back up...oops.

Please don't let the disturbing collection of porcelain dogs distract you from this  wonderfully painted screen. I had a thought of using this for a headboard but decided that I have overdosed on Asian art work in my house. This would have been over the top.

I could see this piece in a hacienda style house. Really nice scale.

OK......if anyone read the post about the "basket' light fixture idea that I was trying to do, look no further. I saw this and had to take a picture. I had the right idea, just couldn't execute this look. Darn, this one is soooo cool (also $500). I still think one day I can do this.

Another aspect of their store that I thought could be useful to anyone, is there vast array of pre-made draperies. There were also a lot of fabric remnants at very reasonable prices.

A big reason, for me personally, to put this store on my "cruise by to see what's new" circuit is the small Asian section in the middle of the store. This booth had an array of really nice things from baskets to foo dogs to jade and stone carvings and tassels. I've actually been in the market to find an Asian carved tassel to help keep a cabinet closed that has lost it's magnetic closure.I guess I could try to just replace the magnet....but that's not as fun! And a new magnet does not promise to bring me prosperity and abundance either.
