[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how much of their inventory qualifies as traditional but I like Pier One for that kind of thing.  Ten Thousand Villages (in Old Town) also has nice things with an international flair.[/quote]

Sorry, sweetie, but she specified "unique." Pier One is the Olive Garden of interior decor.[/quote]

I'm not the PP, but I thought the only people who still cluttered their homes with traditional knick knacks most likely had generally Olive Garden taste.

Still, for people who like that sort of thing, you might try the cave-like downstairs area at Reincarnations on 14th Street. I'm not sure what OP considers "unique", but I think Reincarnations is going for an appeal to people who would like to describe their accessorizing as "unique". Only, you know, each unique item comes in 5 colorways and 3 sizes.  [/quote]

Well if you don't put traditional knick knacks in your cabinets, what are you supposed to accessorize with?  We do pick up interesting objects from our travels, but it's not nearly enough to fill a 5000 sq, ft. house with multiple curio cabinets, dining room cabinets, sofa tables, etc.[/quote]

5,000 square feet? My G-d, woman!  Downsize and you'll need less clutter to fill your barn! Problem solved.

I haven't seen much in the way of "curio cabinets" since the '80s. Yuck. In fact, the only people I know who have them are Boomers and even older neighbors who haven't looked around in many years. I guess I've seen them in the homes of younger military families from fly-over country, too. Let me guess, they're cherry or oak and have all kinds of foofy nonsense accents.

Dining room cabinets are also kind of two decades+ ago, but they're for dishes, not random junk.

You could maybe put a little something on a sofa table, but I assure you that less really is more.
