Last night I picked up my friend Sharon Kitchens (she who writes Delicious Musings) at the ferry in Ptown. We wandered from the dock into the West End. On our journey we stopped at Wa, a little zen decor spot I thought was more garden goods than home furnishings, since the exterior sort of resembles a Japanese garden, but they had some great accessories sourced from around the globe.
Wood chests, African sculptures, and betel nut boxes from Southeast Asia.
Local ceramics.
Bark birdhouses.
Ikat cushion on a woven chair.
Silvered glass.
Stone vases.
And my favorite, succulent candles.
Next stop, new natural beauty boutique Melt.
Then I spotted Simply Danish, which just opened six weeks ago. It’s a spare space, with a museum-like display of modern home accessories from companies like Ferm Living, Stelton, and Menu. The photos didn’t come out that well, but here’s a sampling of their goods.
Rubber vases.
Trivets.
Decals and dish towels.
