Walking through Chelsea, Furnish Green's window caught my eye. Reminiscent of the fun antique…read moreshops from the Village circa 1970s and '80s. A lot of kitsch. The store is filled with collectibles: furniture, pottery, lamps, art, '50s dresses. Well-priced ..... considering it IS Manhattan. A particular painting caught my eye. With no more space in my apartment -- the walls are filled! -- I was thinking of a friend. Art is personal. Never a good gift idea. What I love, most people don't. Except my daughter whose artistic taste frequently jives with mine. The proprietor directed me to their website, which showcases items in their warehouse as well as what's in the shop. furnishgreen.com Well, the original oil (from the Democratic Republic of the Congo) isn't what my friend is looking for. She said it would work for her house in Colorado, but not her studio in NY. Oh well. I tried. Check 'em out!

Visited today on Easter. Love my finds. It was my first trip to the area. Strolling by on a rainy…read moreday. So beautifully organized and so many discerning selections. All were carefully curated and displayed. My only dismay was not being aware of the important work the shop does as a non-profit before I randomly popped in as I was enjoying a stroll for some "me" time during a busy family trip. The woman with glasses, who I assume was the "manager/owner", was very passive aggressive with me and came off disrespectful and unwelcoming. I overheard her negotiating pricing on some items with other customers and when I was ready with my two vintage cameras (to be used for decor/props) and one pretty beat up purse (all totaling $75 w/o tax), I inquired if they were willing to do $70 for all. I wasn't sure what taxes the city/state charged so I wanted to be sure had enough on my card (a visa gift card a friend gave me when I was diagnosed with cancer) to cover the taxes. She loudly and obnoxiously replied "NO. WE DON'T HAGGLE HERE". I found it repulsive and aggressive when I had been so overly kind and impressed with the shop during my visit. It certainly caught me off guard. Especially after hearing her indeed "negotiate" pricing with other guests. She didn't even make eye contact with me but made sure to speak her words loud enough to try to embarrass me. I was not embarrassed, rather appalled and disgusted. So much so that I recalled other travelers from my party and told them not to come down to the shop. On the other hand, the two male clerks working with me were so kind, lovely and helpful during my visit. Kudos to them for staying pleasant and gracious in that moment that was intended for ugliness. While the encounter at the very end of my trip soured my visit, I would still encourage others to go and I will likely be back again next time. After visiting their website trying to figure out what I did wrong, I see that the work they do is impactful.

Maybe it's my fashion preferences but when I come here there is always something I want. My first time here was just as a pitstop as I'm looking around consignment in the area - with the general goal of seeing the classic buffalo exchange. I was really pleasantly surprised at the relatively reasonable prices And fits that were both my size and style. The shopkeepers the first time around was really kind and helpful without being overbearing. I like this style of shopping where I can browse myself and determine what I want, but they're around as necessary. I got a shirt that was both thin and airy yet professional enough for work. Today I got a pair of tapered pants with elastic at the bottom but which had a double lining and fit well with my color preferences. I actually like this place a little better than buffalo exchange since it's not that crowded and has fashion that's up my alley, plus the prices are on par.
