Local Find: 509 Design

For two years when I was living in Marshall, I drove by this place everyday downtown on Main Street. I had wanted to stop by this cute little shop... but never did. It pretty much faded from my mind, until a few weeks ago...

I was driving by on my way out of town and spotted the birch-looking branch vases in the window. I immediately turned around and decided it was time to venture in!
Wow, am I glad I did! I was like all of my favorite online shops and catalogs (ZGallery, PB, Ballard, etc.) had a baby and it's name is 509 Design! When I went in to check out the vases, I got distracted by this gorgeous tablescape, surrounded by drool-worthy parsons chains (I dream on these... no joke).

There was an adorable "pea-pod" candle holder that I thought was adorable...

And this small branches vase and mercury glass candle base...

And cute lamp, not to mention the artichoke looking thing... be still my heart...

Then I started to wonder into the other rooms and I was not disappointed... a Knight lamp! Oh Mylanta, I want to jump on that train!

Look at that head, the gorgeous sidetable and the see-thru-ish (yes, that's a word) lamp... sigh...

Then there was the glass pear (see if real tiny there!?)! De-lish!

And last, but most definitely not least, the faux fireplace! This is where I nearly passed out... I am working on a fireplace project of my own and I got all gushy over this one... simply stunning...

Now, I was looking at prices around the store during my whole excursion, but didn't write anything down... sorry... I can tell you that they are very comparable with the online shops, which can be a little pricey. But a needed splurge every once in a while (remember the Rhino HERE). I will definitely be back to this store again, when I feel the need for the one item to finish a room! Happy Monday!

My goodness, looks like I am going to have to road trip it to Marshall soon. I just saw that horse lamp on another blog - I guess horse heads are the new big decorating thing but my eye is on that twisted branch with birds white vase :)
