Would you put a high-heeled, red leopard couch in your home?

The Scene
This is a quirky shop with a noble message. Nearly everything is made from recycled antiques, hence the store's slogan, "Art that Saves the World." You'll never think of the Mona Lisa the same once you've seen it with tiger stripes on an armoire. Different as it is, the furniture, created in a local studio, is a lot of fun and beautifully done.

The Goods
Another staple: wild little knickknacks that make you laugh. Next board meeting, take one of the Barbie head pens or wear mood-changing nail polish. The store has lots of cheap jewelry along with henna body stickers too. Count on finding something new and offbeat each visit.
