Hipsteria

Hipsteria moved about a year ago. It is now in Cameron Village. In the Cheshire Cat Gallery, two doors down from Goodberry’s, facing Clark St., downstairs below the Antiques Emporium.

The best place to find mid-​century wares in the triangle. Some pieces are overpriced, I feel, but I always see something I love there and I’ve bought two excellent pieces of furniture from them. I docked 2 stars because, if I’m being honest, I’ve seen the man who runs Hipsteria being terribly, nastily rude to others. His wife, who works with him, has always been very sweet, though.

If my house wasn’t so Pottery Barn, and I could justify spending over $ 100 on a chair that’s stained and has a small heart scrawled on the side of it in pen, I’d nab up half the retro furniture in this joint. Amazing Eames-​style mid-​century stuff that you don’t see too many places around here. Aforementioned chair was adorable egg-​style number marked to $ 185. And for the bigger (and non grafitti-​d pieces) the prices can go higher… a gorgeous hand-​carved and painted full-​size carousel horse was going for $ 895. And two beautiful cabinet grand pianos required a phonecall for pricing. Course they had plenty of budget options as well. Neat lamps and records for cheap.
Racks and racks of vintage and used clothes in the back half of the store — which I think are actually items spilling over from the adjacent Get Dressed shop which shares the warehouse space — including some really old-​school wedding dresses full of gorgeous lace. Make sure to check out the very back wall for your next costumed event: I found handmade jester outfits and several big furry bear suits!
