Under fun:
Then & Now, Wyckoff NJ, is hard to peg down. It has something to offer for most shoppers, from bargain hunters to keen collectors. I think this is a pretty serious place---I always overhear details of some estate sale, flea market, etc. whenever I am browsing.
(On left) Entrance to the shop. Note the two-car garage, which is full of mostly country-style and handmade furniture. When the weather is nice, they have an assortment of furniture and garden decor displayed in the driveway. Do not be deceived by the simple exterior... this place is awesome!
We've gotten some real steals here for our apartment, including a stately brass floor lamp, a wicker bench for our shoes, and some modern-style kitchen items. The garage contains bigger pieces of furniture: chairs, cabinets, desks, bedboards, and the like. Outside, there is usually plenty of garden decorations and furniture. Inside, the ground floor has kitchenware, glassware, brassware, jewelry, and lots and lots of tchochkes. Upstairs, the attic is full of kitchy prints and paintings, and lamps galore. I'd have loved to take more pictures inside, but it seemed too intrusive.
What's really great about this place is that the merch is not so picked over. Moreover, the prices are very fair.
Today, we picked out four pint glasses ($1 each), a gold tone necklace with pretty onyx-like inlays ($12), and ten silk scarves ($9). We're still keeping an eye out for a wicker bookcase.
"I don't really think this is the look I'm going for..."If you decide to go, check to make sure they're open. We tend to go on Saturday mornings. Oh, and they don't accept credit cards.
