bunch of great places in baltimore as well but they can be VERY pricey.

Since our days of selling Mid Century Modern on Craigslist and at Eastern Market, we have realized that, despite the fact that other stores have existed in this town for years, some people want an alternative. We set out to find good quality pieces without regard to a “designer name” necessarily and to offer them at a fair price. People tell us very often that they think our prices are fair and they like the fact that we just offer good, fun pieces from yesteryear because that’s really what they want. We feel as though we must be hitting our mark because we have had pretty good press from The Washington Post, the Northwest/Dupont Current, The Washingtonian Magazine and others.

To the person who called are furniture “trash” we respectfully disagree with your “take” on our merchandise. To those who say they have heard that someone was treated rudely in our shop, we invite you and them to return. It is certainly not part of our business practice to be rude. Those who visit our shop from some of the other stores mentioned have been welcomed to the store and greeted upon entering just like we do everyone else. In fact we never even knew where they worked at the time they came to have a look at Hunted House. People who work for some of the other stores have even shopped at Hunted House. We have recommended stores like Good Eye and others to customers who were shopping for a piece that we didn’t have.

Come in and see for yourself. The city is a lot different now than it was in past years. Newer people have come with different tastes and styles. A sign that Washington is more “grown up” is that there are more shops around town of all kinds to cater to the varying tastes and levels of income. Wherever you go, happy hunting!

I don’t see what point you are trying to make, seems judgemental and hateful. Has always been a fun place to shop. Had really nice conversations about stuff and how seriously people take sooooooooo furniture then and even now.

They really seem to just like what they do and they seem to love kitsch as much as designer and have done it for years. You just seem bitter.

And all this focus on designers? please, when it stops being about style and starts being about a name, screw it.

My favorite story was stopping in some store, now closed, and the owner was showing me things. I told him I didn’t like blonde wood and he said, This isn’t Blonde Wood, it’s Heywood-Wakefield! (uhhh…) and then he was like, “This couch over here is Noguchi.” Oh, Noguchi, I said. “Noguchi was a Japanese designer.” Oh, I know who Noguchi is, I’ve seen his chairs.

“No, you DON’T know who Noguchi is.”

True, he said that. I walked away from him at that point.
