Vive le Decor

Some of the proceeds of all sales at this shop go to equine outreach efforts, rescuing abused and neglected horses. Of which we have far too many in Central Oregon. In particular after the economy went South in 2008. Of that, the donation policy, I say five big stars!
For this little shop selling «seasoned home furnishings & consignment», per the tag line in their print ads, I am also a fan of how the owner has laid out the small interior space with vignettes of the items for sale. In fact I said «nicely staged» right out loud when we walked in the door. Turns out the owner has some background in home design and the design sensibility shows. With so many of Bend’s other resale shops being stuffed with «stuff», it was refreshing to have one with some room to navigate.
So, lots of good foundation. A drawback is the relatively small amount of inventory. But they’re new — open only about three weeks now — and that will likely change for the better over time. Open only on Fridays and Saturdays (10A to 5P). Apparently business has been brisk — makes sense given the very good condition of items for sale and reasonable prices.. This is the kind of place, were I good at resale store shopping, that I’d want to go back to from time to time.
I have never learned the knack of resale store shopping, but given I have some things to consign, this place will be near the top of my list when I do that.
If you’re in the market for a «seasoned home furnishings» treasure in Bend, this is a place you should pay a visit. Conveniently located in the Industrial Park area off of American Canyon Lane. And remember how your purchases will help needy horses. Giddeyup!
