Editorial Review for Flotsam & Jetsam – by Dave Cooksey

In Short
Nestled away in Old City is an eclectic showcase of urban styles and tastes that goes beyond your typical home furnishings shop. In an effort to inspire a more daring approach to interiors, owners R.J. Thornburg and Meltem Birey defied retail conventions of understatement by painting the shop's walls vibrant colors and mixing various styles and genres. Thornburg and Birey believe their bold approach to interior design inspires customers to follow their lead. The result is anything but common.

The Extras

Gallery hours on First Friday, so drop by and peruse local original art, which the brightly colored interior shows in a new perspective.

When to Go

In the warmer months, the shop's city garden gives ideas for those with a small outside space to fill.

Know Before You Go

The shop is filled with bold and unusual crafts, art, furniture and accessories--most from neighborhood designers, some costly, some economical. Antique pieces bought from auction and given new life are conspicuously displayed. From contemporary to traditional, antique to modern, Flotsam and Jetsam presents all the possibilities--and bids you be bold.
