Houseware shopping in the BK
Living in a new apartment sans furniture can be kind of creepy. So this weekend, in an attempt to fill up my new place, I hit the shops.
Now, some of you Manhattan-centrics out there get sweaty just thinking about leaving the borough (I live in Manhattan but am not one of those people). So, for you, here are a few fantastic apartment shopping spots along and near Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. (Note: Take the F train to Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street).
Better Carpet Warehouse
443 Atlantic Ave.
Tons of carpets and rugs at discount prices.
Home & Haven
177 Smith St.
Set up like an apartment, the store has cute, girly accessories for every room.
Trade Winds Imports (take the F one stop further down or walk)
62 Seventh Ave.
Simple, affordable pieces of furniture. I bought a space-saver table that stores its four chairs when they're not being used.
Rico
384 Atlantic Ave.
Modern pieces of furniture. Its pretty pricey, though right now theres a sale. Theres also a new line of rugs thats really cool.
Sterling Place
363 Atlantic Ave.
Sturdy pieces of wooden furniture, plus placemats, coasters and other accessories.
Plus, stop in all the antique shops along Atlantic.
