So Jen, myself, and probably every Young Urban Professional in a 300 mile radius of Baltimore City got an innocuous little postcard from Restoration Hardware, that purveyor of incredibly beautiful, retro, and stylish home furnishings. They were having a warehouse sale of all the stuff they haven’t been able to sell (and, let’s face it, when you charge $2,300 for an oak dresser out of a mall storefront, you’re not moving a ton of merchandise) and I think that they had the most successful return on direct-mail ever. We showed up at 7:15 and had to fight our way into the parking lot. By the time we entered the main warehouse and weaved through the throngs of people, the place had been picked over pretty well, but we found a chair that had been marked down to $500. (Check the site. It glibly sugests to “buy a pair!”) After hemming and hawing, and placing a ‘hold’ on it, we headed back to the house to grab the Scout, but we realized that there was no way we could return before the doors were closed. Retiring to our favorite restaurant, we consoled ourselves with plenty of DeGroen’s and filet. Walking through our new favorite antique store today, we found a retro black armchair for the kingly sum of $80 with our names on it.
