Paul’s Place – A Delight For The Antique Shopper

A while back I received an email that something to the effect of: “Your website is great. It would be even better if it had a review of our store.” Since I absolutely love those kinds of emails (they mean people are reading and that they like the site enough to want to be on it – WOOT!) I responded that I would be happy to.
Little did I know that the place was one of (I’m not kidding) the coolest places I’ve been in Richmond. The place is Paul’s Place, and it’s an antique shop, an architectural salvage yard, and THE place to buy restored vintage lighting. The entire ceiling is loaded with chandeliers that owner Paul Ferramosca has lovingly restored by hand, getting them up to code and safe for use in modern homes.
One Saturday I asked my Mom to run over there with me, and right away I knew it was the right day to come. They were having an outdoor yard sale, of sorts, a way to separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were, and they had tables and tables full of goodies. I had my eye on one gorgeous weirdo thing in particular:
What is that thing? Why do I want it SO BAD?
This thing was only $20, so I bought it and hung it on the sole enormous blank wall in my house. I’d waited a year to put anything there, because I was looking for the exact right thing. I found it at Paul’s Place.
Fabu, right?
Everyone that works at Paul’s is fantastic, and the inventory inside the store is unmatched in quality and aesthetic appeal. Paul’s not only collects fantastic items that can be considered antique, architectural salvage, and restored valuables, but they are environmentally conscious as well. They believe that reusing beautiful old items is a way of staying “green” and I can’t agree more. Check them out on the web, or like them on Facebook, and get thee to Paul’s Place as fast as your checkbook and your pickup truck can carry you!
