Lucca

I mean, aside from the fact that Lucca sells a hang-in-there-young-mom-at-the-end-of-her-rope card that says “technically, it’s not illegal to call a toddler an a$$hole,” it’s perfect because it’s beautiful, the owner is the kind of person you want to take to brunch, and they rotate their stock frequently.

Ballard Consignment

I cannot sing the praises of Ballard Consignment enough. I don’t even know where to begin.

The staff is friendly and on the lookout for a very particular leather chair I’ve dreamed up in my mind. I want to move in.
