Corehaus will be opening up next week in the former Shaka King space located at 825 Upshur St (near Domku). The owner, James Kerns, was extremely nice and succinctly characterized the business as “taking old stuff and making it cool again”. While the finishing touches were still being completed I was able to take some photos and the items do indeed look pretty cool. This is Mr. Kerns first brick and mortar store, but you can see his Web site here.
This is a great addition to the block along with Bentley’s across the street.
More photos after the jump.

I AM looking for a job
I think 20 years from now we will say..."ew"
Living in such a light less place would drive me to self violence.
Yes! How could I have forgotten the sauce. Ohhh, that sauce...
I have a part Oriental of some sort (I think Tonkinese, but will never know for sure),...
Love how that is starting to look. Pls let us know when they’re going to open.
hahaha right next to the liquor/lotto/convenient store!!! haha
Would love to open a antiques hunt club at my spread out in Crumpton MD near Dixon’s Auction, Mr. Kerns looks like he’d be a great founding member from the looks of his store….
Ah that new American classic look, it would be nice if they brought in some men’s (and women’s) clothes to compliment the look. Work shirts. Selvedge denim. Along the lines of The Field House in Seattle.
wow, it’s a throwback post. news about petworth…
@IMGoph Hahaha. Hilarious. I wish I could post a cool new store like this opening once a week in Petworth. Sadly, that’s just not the case. But thanks for being you.
OK I want that gear/wheel thingy. Seriously!
what are you using for your comments now? is this wordpress?
Amazing! Can’t wait to check it out.
Love the new site layout. But how come still no way to follow comments through email? Other wordpress sites let you do that.
jamie: if you’re using firefox, click on the RSS button in the address bar, and you can select the comment feed from there.
Is this open yet? I emailed the owner about seeing stuff in his Monroe location but never heard back. I want to check this out but don’t want to make the trek only to see it is not yet open! Thanks!
Is that a real Guayasamin?
