On 9th Street, pretty much right over the Gowanus Canal, I came across a remarkable store, Find Home Furnishings, which carries a mix of antiques, reproductions, and “found items” (which we know I am fond of). I love the idea of flanking an old farmhouse dining table with rustic benches, and the 1920s Scandinavian reproduction pictured above ($899) is a unique take on the idea – it has a crack running down its entirety that has been “repaired” with rope.
