Up-cycled & refurbished furniture & décor
A few weeks ago, after brunching at North Avenue Grill, my mom and I drove a short distance down North to a couple of local furniture and home décor shops. The first stop was Cattywampus. The second, which I'll tackle here tomorrow, was Twirly Birds.
Today is all about Cattywampus. It's a one-room shop filled with up-cycled furniture (most of it painted cheery colors), handmade décor and gifts, and some Wisconsin pride scattered throughout.
There were lots of fun and colorful decorative accents, and the furniture itself is beautifully refurbished with thoughtful details. Amazingly, the furniture prices are as reasonable as the quality is high. I saw several pieces I wish I had a spot for.
I've heard from friends that the owners of Cattywampus are always stocking the place with new pieces. I've also heard that they're even willing to keep an eye out for you if you're looking for something in particular — like, if you're in search of nightstands, they'll do their best to find you some. How sweet it that?
Cattywampus also hosts painting how-to classes. The classes are 2.5 hours long and cover the basics of various types of paints used to refinish furniture. You don't need experience or supplies — just bring yourself. Bonus: The classes include refreshments! I might just have to give one a whirl sometime — we have a dining room table that's in serious need of a makeover.
