Domestic Instincts

Editor's Note: A fire in the building has temporarily shut down the store. Look for a reopen date of mid-June.

The Scene
A youthful clientele, which includes plenty of newly engaged couples, shops here for reasonably priced furnishings that are tasteful yet still have a whimsical sense of humor. The down-to-earth sales staff goes out of its way to make customers feel at home in this cozy Church Street shop.

The Goods
You can take care of furniture needs with sofas, butterfly chairs, dining room tables and pastel bistro tables. Accent pieces, such as cocktail shakers, aromatherapy candles, beaded pillows and throws, candles, greeting cards and cocktail paraphernalia, can be found as well. For the kitchen, search out the store's dishes, mugs and entertaining cookbooks. To spice up memories, Domestic Instincts has a wide selection of journals and picture frames.
