 | House of Uncommons Although John Phifer Marrs Interiors had a thriving design studio and shop down the street, in their new spot, they’ve found a home. You’ll know you’ve found it when you see a traditional facade with an art nouveau railing that resembles wisteria. “The wonderful thing is that it’s an old house with a charming residential quality rather than a commercial building with furniture in it,” he says. Near the fireplace is a beautiful mid-1800s English drop-front secrétaire, and amid the more serious antiques are two whimsical children’s wicker chairs. Look for Marrs’ one-of-a-kind lamps, made from porcelain vases and antique bronze architectural elements. John Phifer Marrs Interiors. 4623 W. Lovers Ln. 214-352-4949. www.johnmarrs.com. |

| Budget Barcelonas Design Gallerie owner Shaheed Shahabuddin saw a need for modern, stylish furniture at a more accessible price point, and given the number of high-rises and lofts going up, we tend to agree. There’s the to-be-expected knockoffs – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair renamed the Caza chair, Poul Henningsen’s Artichoke Lamp featured as the Mistral lamp, and the Corbu chaise – but Design Gallerie has some distinguishing items: art by local artists; Italian-made, fringe-like Decorfil curtains gracefully defining the space; and the functional, eye-catching Franco sofa. Plus you gotta love complimentary white glove delivery service that includes any assembly that might be necessary. Design Gallerie. 3003 Knox St., Ste. 100. 214-219-1919. www.designgallerie.com. |  |
