Mongrel Design

This may not be the most substantive review, but when you feel you’ve struck gold… you’ve gotta yell «Eureka!» especially out here in the Wild West before the next prospector comes along. Not that I’ll hog this find all to myself. On the contrary, this is the pay dirt that is best shared!
Very cute shop that reminds me of one that I’d encountered shopping along Armitage Ave in Chicago. (This is the highest compliment I can pay!) The owner herself is from the upper peninsula of Michigan and it was lovely to chat with her upon my first visit. She’s a designer and does in-​home consultations and design. What I greatly appreciated about her way of doing business is that she was very direct about her pricing structure. She had a «menu» of services listed and can do as little or as much as you’d like.
The shop itself is true to «mongrel» — a nice little mixed selection of home décor items. I enjoy shopping «outside the box» (ie PB, Crate & Barrel etc) for some unique finds and Mongrel has everything from furniture to candles. I put my name on an e-​mail list (be sure to do so!) to receive notice of sales and events.
The shop is located in the Fry’s shopping plaza, on the very east end by Subway.
