Cool Stuff: Factory 20

I discovered Factory 20 this morning via Another Shade of Grey (which -- yay! -- is back and going strong after a mysterious and much-lamented 7-month absence from the blogosphere). This store is most definitely getting bookmarked.

Located in Sterling, Virginia, Factory 20 is a brick-and-mortar boutique and online shop with an incredible selection of vintage furniture, lighting, objects, and art. Midcentury minimalist items are mixed in with gorgeously timeworn primitive pieces and vintage industrial wares (a current all-consuming obsession of mine). Prices aren't bargain-basement, but aren't insane, either -- and some items are downright reasonable. The shop also offers worldwide shipping.
