Charming Knicknacks
Saturday, August 06, 2005
Located at the corner of the shopping street/mall in Salem, Pamplemousse is full of assorted items for your bed, bath, kitchen - it's all very eclectic, but everything is well chosen and of high quality.
Pamplemousse takes it's interior decor and presentation straight from the Urban Outfitters / Anthropologie handbook - that is, merchandise is seamlessly integrated with the furniture, all of which looks like it was rescued from the castoff pile and thrown back into service. As a result, nothing really matches, and yet, everything manages to come together to produce an shopping experience with a coherent message.
I think the message is something like "spend money here, yes it's a bit more expensive but it's all really cute and you'll absolutely love it". But I could be wrong, I'm a guy and hence I was somewhat immune. My female friends really liked this place, though.
