Retrofit is a neighborhood store located in Capitol Hill offering a place to buy furniture, as well as gifts & accessories such as computer cases, clocks, & sassy purses. The store counters the notion that contemporary furniture has to be cold, sterile, & expensive. The owners, Jon Milazzo & Lori Pomeranz, encourage people new to contemporary decorating to embrace items they are drawn to instead of worrying about whether it will work perfectly. Jon & Lori also offer advice on interior design at the store by home consultations for a fee. They also sell some of their own personally made creations. Retrofit Home is a place where you can find that piece to spice up your current living space, recreate it, or just come in to find that unique gift that won?t be forgotten.
Urban Outfitters Feel, but a step up!

This place is cool. It has everything from modern furniture to vinyl handbags. Candels for gifts. They were having some good sales the day I went in and most of my stuff was at 50% off. Even more importanly they were SO nice there. I didn't feel stalked or pressured like there bird-dogging me for commision. Random note: There is a great cafe next door that need to try out also.
Pros: Pretty varied selection of home stuff
