Blue House
Hey internet. If you live in or near the Baltimore metro area, then make SURE you stop at THE hottest new store in town. Blue House located at 1407 Fleet Street in the Inner Harbor East, just down the street from Whole Foods. You won't regret it! Need something really unique for that special someone for Christmas? You'll find it here! That is, if you can resist the temptation to redecorate your own house or buy things to make yourself feel better just by having beautiful, functional, well designed, fair trade, items around the house. And you can have a cup of coffee and a snack in the cafe and feel good about it at the same time.
I had the distinct pleasure of attending the opening gala there last evening courtesy of my dear friends, the store's owner and entrepreneur extraordinaire David, and his adorable better half.
The place is stunning, and the inventory is remarkable. Really. David is enormously gifted with a strong eye and instinct for good design and this place reflects it perfectly. The evening was a real celebration of all the hard work, hopes and dreams that went into pulling off something David has been planning ever since I've known him.
We were especially lucky to be treated to an intimate performance by Natalie Douglas. Easily the best ticket in Baltimore last night without a doubt. Hearing her perform live is a real treat. Go buy her CDs!
So - get yourself to Blue House: Home, Coffee, the Stuff of Life. You won't regret it.
