The Art
of Joy
Extol’s Explorer
JD Dotson found a
treasure trove of
unique items and
art in Floyds Knobs
and Georgetown
The Nest in Floyds Knobs is a carefully-curated consignment store
with a range of furniture and decor from antique to modern. Each
section of the store is set up as a well-appointed vignette, giving
subtle suggestions of what lamp to pair with a loveseat, and what
accessories could complement the look of the room. Every inch of
the place is well designed by owner Martha Pfau. Walls are covered
in art and stained glass, and the cabinets and shelves are full of
colorful, unique items. It is a bargain hunter’s dream; well-priced,
one-of-a-kind items fill the space. Of course, inventory is always
changing and the unique pieces come and go, but I picked out a
few of my favorites.
BY JD Dotson
THERE IS ONLY ONE THING
BETTER THAN EXPLORING PLACES
I’VE NEVER BEEN AND THAT IS
DISCOVERING TREASURES IN MY
OWN BACKYARD. RECENTLY, I
FOUND TWO VERY DIFFERENT
BUT EQUALLY ENTHRALLING
DECOR AND GIFT SHOPS – ONE
IN FLOYDS KNOBS AND THE
OTHER IN GEORGETOWN – THAT
MAKE ME WANT TO DO A BIT OF
REDECORATING AT HOME.
42 EXTOL : OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2018
The little Japanese shelf sitters, rice paper frame and decorative fleur-de-lis plate
complement each other so well. There is a story there somewhere of travels to far-off
lands and thoughts of bringing a bit of the world home.
