´Past to Present on the Corner’ is the sister store of Past to Present. There you will find more antiques and designer pieces of furniture and objects. I always admire the team’s staging eye, as it makes me want to buy it all!
Little bonus tip: if you’re visiting over the winter holidays, the owners turn Past to Present on the Corner into the best seasonal decoration store in the state! You’ll find all the vintage ornaments, old school ugly sweaters and Christmas decor you could dream of.
