Artists, designers, and crafts people love furnishings and accessories that are artistic, refined or hand crafted.  “When Modern Was” the new 24th Street shop by Dona Taylor blends art, design and craft in a well designed vintage home furnishings, art and vintage jewelry store.

A jewelry designer herself Dona is a lady of style who mixes art and design as a way of life.  The colorful space reflects her passion for vintage furnishings that are updated with a modern twist by artists and crafts people. Everything sold is unique, original or vintage. This shop is so visually captivating that the color, design and collections draw you in for a visit.

Samuel Fleming Lewis of INSTUDIO says remember to mix things up a little when designing rooms to add interest. “When Modern Was” allows you to do this in style with selections of  high quality painted furniture in unexpected colors and distressed detail, architectural salvage that is given a new life with an artist point of view, newly upholstered pieces that have fabrics and painted finishes selected by artists, custom accent pillows, beautiful sets of china, vintage, collectable and antique accessories, lamps and chandeliers, original art & prints,  mirrors, clocks and enough different styles of Buddha figures to put your decorating mind at ease.

Recycling well made furniture is an excellent way to keep beautiful things out of landfills. In the hands of artists, designers or crafts people, furniture, accessories and architectural salvage are renewed while creating personalized living spaces. Dona’s home was featured on HGTV for its style and design.  She brings her love for creative reuse to your home through a delightful shopping experience.

The out of the ordinary need not be expensive, prices start at $30.00 and no individual item is priced more than $795.00. Everything at “When Modern Was” is ready to go into your home “as is” adding the artistic touch of art to your home.
