Last week I finally got to explore Williamsburg. The wonderful day, full of fashion, art and culture allowed me to find fabulous places that aren't necessarily in guide books, but right up my street...metaphorically of course!
On 1st street between Bedford and Driggs is one of these quaint places. I knew instantly when seeing the store's signage that I would like this place: it was British after all!
Full of fantastic, fashionable and astonishingly, artistically aesthetic pieces, this British design store specialises in furniture, lighting, wallpaper, gifts and accessories.
Cleverly called Grace & Favor, this shop also displayed its stock very well, making it clear the owner was creatively talented.
As soon as my boyfriend (an interior designer) and I entered this magical shop we felt very welcomed, but not pressured, by the lovely owner. It is very rare that you receive good customer service these days, however this lady was genuinely enthusiastic about her work and interested in our creative lives. Furthermore we expressed how oddly being a Brit abroad makes you get over enthused by anything of British origin even though we try not to!
At present, as much as I would love to, I do not have the money, space or indeed place to purchase well crafted furniture, but Grace & Favor is definitely the dream destination to go when decorating! Many of the pieces are limited edition with honourable heritage and values behind the product. Even this fabulous note book that I was kindly gifted is a decomposition book and 100% recyclable!
Thank you Grace & Favor not only for my brilliant book, but for your superb service and incredibly desirable designs!
