Interiors Marketplace

Just Beachy

 
Doesn't this lovely scene, ripped from the pages of this month's House Beautiful, make you want to come in from a long morning of surfing and have a delicious lunch of watermelon and sangria while enjoying the view from your fabulous beach front patio?

All I need is the beach front patio, a view to enjoy and surfing lessons... at least I can check one thing off my list:  that awesome white wicker table and chairs!  New at Post & Gray, the very same furniture seen above!

Come in today to see what else you're missing from your very own "lovely scene!"  

Plus, the Annual Sale has been extended until the 24th!

An Evening with Mike Lassiter + AC!

Tonight Interiors Marketplace will host a book signing for Mike Lassiter (the attractive man pictured above) to celebrate the statewide release of his documentary, Our Vanishing Americana, on UNC-TV!

Mike first traveled across North Carolina in 2000 to write his book, Our Vanishing Americana: A North Carolina Portrait, which captures the iconic family-owned soda shops, general stores and hardware stores that will soon disappear forever.

He later realized that the people who own these shops are as much a part of the story as the buildings themselves.  So, in 2008, he set out again to film his documentary.  Our Vanishing Americanapremiered November 25th, 2009 in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties to rave reviews.  On July 1st  it was released to all of North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as parts of Virginia, Georgia and Nashville, TN.  A national release is expected in 2011!

We're so proud of Mike and look forward to seeing you all tonight!  (Interiors Marketplace 5-7pm)

On another note, and get excited because this is HUGE, Post & Gray Charlotte now has AC!!!!!!!  Come by and shop our new COOL space for lots of hip items for your home!

And don't forget, The Annual Sale continues until July 17th!

New in Town

If you shop with us frequently, you know that our inventory is constantly changing at Post & Gray in Charlotte.  In fact, now is a great time to come see what's new because we have 3 new merchants!

The first is Bamboo.  She's got a great selection of lacquered furniture that evokes 1960's Florida life (in a good way!!)

 

Someday I'll have a sunroom filled with items from Bamboo!

 
This adorable cockatoo would be right at home, well, anywhere!

Table accessories and gifts complete the collection.

Second we have Jimmy Pruitt.  Jimmy specializes in antlers and has a whole wall of them to choose from!

 

And finally we have Lynn-Anne Bruns, who's unique items add a touch of whimsy and interest to a boring room.

Several item are paper mache, like this cute green goat!

This Eames reproduction rocking chair is a classic piece that can add the perfect amount of kitch to any room.  Also available in blue and pink.

 Here's another paper mache piece - an aqua deer with tiny origami swans hanging from the antlers!

Please stop by Post & Gray to see all this and more!

Tuesday - Saturday 10a - 5p

Our Favorite Things

Being in the stores everyday,  we all have a few items that we absolutely love, so we decided we should introduce a couple of our staff's favorite picks.

Kate loves these gold bamboo folding chairs.  They're cute enough to leave out all the time, but fold up for easy storage... What could be better?

It was easy for Sally to pick her favorite.  She went straight to this antique French chandelier that's absolutely gorgeous!  Pictures don't do it justice!

Terry's been wanting a dog for quite some time, so it's no surprise she loves this cement garden whippet .  It's the best kind of dog... no barking, no mess!

Allison loves our new line of Alexa Pulitzer stationary.  Known for her graphic design, Alexa has created a beautiful line of stationary that's so pretty, you'll want one of each!

I hope our picks have helped you find some favorites!  All items shown are available at either Interiors Marketplace (Mon - Sat 10-6) or Post & Gray (Tue - Sat 10-5).

Happy Decorating! 

The Purlettes

Straight from Mill Valley, California comes our newest treasure, Sarah Oliver Handbags. 

Sarah Oliver began making handbags as gifts for family and friends, but they gained so much attention that it wasn't long before they were popping up at local trunk shows and retail stores.

As the orders started rolling in, Sarah needed more and more help to produce her beautiful wool bags.  Enter, the Purlettes.  The Purlettes are a group of talented knitters who reside at The Redwoods, a retirement community in California.  Since they've started helping Sarah, they've become the backbone of her company.

Every Sarah Oliver Handbag is finished with handstitching,

and a handpicked vintage brooch.

And they all come with a signature "O" brooch tucked inside as an added bonus!

   Each bag is a one of a kind treasure and we hope you'll love them as much as we do!

Sarah Oliver Handbags are available at Interiors Marketplace,

Monday - Saturday 10am - 6pm
