In response to reader requests for a taste of what’s in store at the Wychwood Gallery this Saturday I canvased my hoarder/collector cohorts and received these images of what will be on offer. Nelson, Noguchi, Fabricius Kastholm, Robsjohn-Gibbings are just a few of the bold-face names you’ll find for sale at the second annual styleNorth garage sale.
Fellow decor blogger Tim Lam of Design Maze is joining the party with a first-rate selection of tasteful goodies including the rehabbed Louis chair above, a range of stylish fabric remnants, a George Nelson bubble lamp, a starburst mirror, a rattan coffee table base, custom cushions, and accessories galore.
My good friend Susan is bringing mid-century modern chairs, tables, lamps, ceramics, artwork and accessories.
Former vintage dealer Lin Gibson has done a major purge and has loads of great chairs, chairs and more chairs for sale, as well as lighting, decor books and mags, paintings, pillows, vases . . . you get the idea.
I’m bringing my updated Robsjohn-Gibbings dining chair, some lamps, an art deco dressing table, a pair of Chinese ox blood stands, some artwork, decor books, the list goes on and on.
And finally, my decorating buddy Kevin has stockpiled an awesome selection of furniture, artwork and collectibles including a Clarice Cliff “My Garden” bowl, below left.
The styleNorth Garage Sale is a must for collectors, dealers, designers and home decorators. Last year’s event was a roaring success and this weekend’s sale is guaranteed to trump it. Hope to see you there at the Wychwood Gallery, 601 Christie Street (south of St. Clair West on the Wychwood side), Saturday, May 19, 9 am – 2 pm.

Tim,
As a fellow vendor, I laughed when I read your comment. I just showed my daughter the yellow lamps and said “I want those lamps.” She had to remind me that I’m there to MAKE money, not SPEND it!

The yellow lamps won’t last long!

Hi Lin,
The fabric packages are ranging from $12 – $18 depending on the size of the pillows. You can certainly purchase the packages and use them for a quilt.
I also have larger pieces of fabrics ranging from 1/2 yard to a few yards. The less than 1 yard pieces will be listed around $5-$10 a piece and 1 yard+ will be ranging from $10 to $22 a yard depending on the fabric and quantity.
Hope this helps and hope to see you on Saturday!
