Window Shopping Modern lines, vintage styles, and youthful vibe sum up this new Atlanta shop with attitude.

—Rebecca Sowell Hawkins

Pieces

The owner: Lee Boren, whose design background includes working with Atlanta designer Dan Carithers for three years, as well as with Barbara Westbrook and Joye Hirsch.

Named for: The unique objects that Boren finds for the shop. There are no furniture lines here, just individual, exciting pieces.

The style: Clean, sophisticated, and youthful with a Southern California feel. “I wanted it without being an antiques shop,” says Boren. “It appeals to those who appreciate traditional settings and clean-lined furniture.”

Her motivation: I provide a source for furniture and accessories that aren’t always available to the public and display them in a way that’s unexpected,” says Boren. “You don’t have to live in a modern home to appreciate these things.”

The hottest products: Vintage glass lamps, whitewashed gourds, and decorative hand-made shell balls.

We love: Her unusual chairs, particularly the green wicker ones.

What’s in store: “I always have new Jonathan Adler pieces, Kabbalah candles from Slatkin & co., and dog accessories that add to the mix,” she says.

The mascot: Teddy, Boren’s stylish golden retriever.

The address: 3234-A Roswell Rd., 404/869-2476.
