Home Anthology, Great Place to Shop

Rob and Nini started out by simply trying to furnish their home with interesting pieces at a modest price. This morphed into Home Anthology in 2002, which was a small selling space in an antique co-op filled with a mix of styles. Today, Home Anthology is a 5,000 square-foot space in Maryland, with a focus on mid-century modern design.

Their buying criteria... it has to be something they love and would put into their own home. In my opinion, they're gem finders. Add this to your list of regular online visits, and if you're ever in Baltimore, they're only 15 minutes away.

Fab Shopping

Some of you may not know about online sale shopping memberships, but some of you may know them all to well. It can be a bit overwhelming when you are a member of several. The emails come daily, offering sales on some amazing merchandise, and keeping up can become an obsession. Well, for the hipster or lover of modern design there is Fab. Fab's stock is smaller than most, which I find manageable. It is sometimes from small companies or individual artists and designers that you may not have seen before. One more plus, I don't get daily emails from Fab! So join and enjoy...

A few words of advice regarding membership sale sites, check the return policy, check the shipping rates, don't be to tempted to by something just because it's a great deal, and do a quick web search before you buy because you just might find a better deal.
