Let’s Shop! Curious Sofa

I just returned from a quick visit with Mr. Cupid’s family in Kansas City. As always, my gracious in-laws provided wonderful hospitality that included home-cooked meals and treats all day and my sweet and stylish sister-in-law, Glenna, was our guide to wonderful shops and restaurants all over the Kansas City area.

On this trip we discovered a fabulous gem of a shop called Curious Sofa located in the Prairie Village Shops. You knew it would be special before you even stepped through the beautiful front doors.

The first thing I noticed was the antique ceiling tins that covered the ceiling. I love this look and dream of the day I can have a ceiling like this in my studio.

There were beautiful silk flowers in French market pails that made you feel like you had entered a Parisian street painting!

This wonderful shop is filled to the brim with a mixture of old & new items, all displayed with a French flair.

We drooled over such treasures as aged mirrors and picture frames, architectural salvage pieces, beautiful furniture with just the perfect aged patina on painted wood or rusty metals.

There were piles of old books, sparkling crystal, glass & jewelry, French lotions and potions and luxurious bedding by Bella Notte, and yes, there were even a few sofa’s scattered about!

I loved several pieces in this collection of old salvaged doors & window shutters. I thought several of the old doors would make a great base for a coffee table or desk.

I also loved these great vintage style maps! I just had to have the map of Paris Monuments for my studio wall.

I was also really taken by their collection of classic vintage white/cream ironstone and sparkling French glassware.

This was such a beautiful shop! I am glad that I treated myself to a few souvenirs and look forward to the day when I can return.

If you plan a visit to the Kansas City area, or if you are fortunate enough to live within driving distance, I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful and unique shop.

I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Curious Sofa! This was also a bit of a buying trip for me to find new pieces for my broken china jewelry. We shopped antique stores every afternoon during our visit and I was thrilled with what I found and can’t wait to share everything with you right here on my blog. So please be sure to visit with me over the coming weeks to see some rare and very special pieces of jewelry being listed in the shop.
