Blue Moon

Blue Lotus Gallery Opens

Ikea reminds you of the roach-infested hole you lived in during your UArts stint. West Elm already barfed all over your mom’s.

Where to find unique pieces that won’t tag your pad as Pottery Barnyard?

Newly opened Blue Lotus Gallery carries the stuff you dream up in your if-only-I-had-that-thing fantasies.

From 400-year-old Tibetan chests that had former lives in monasteries to traditional kitty daybeds made by Nepalese craftsmen, Blue Lotus has something for everyone. Architectural salvage like a carved wood and latticework window is a perfect loft divider. Wool and silk coats by a Tibetan and Parisian design team make great additions to your fall wardrobe.

And just like the rest, they deliver.

Blue Lotus Gallery, 1314 Sansom Street (215-545-2800 or bluelotusgallery.com).
