Botany Factory in the New York Times
From New York Times article, “Katie Goldman Macdonald, 26, is a women’s apparel designer for Old Navy with a special fondness for succulents. Ms. Macdonald grew up around plants — her father has a master’s degree in botany — and has made around 100 terrariums over the years. She has sold about 40 of them in the past eight months, she said. Ms. Macdonald has her ovoid glass containers hand-blown in Oakland, Calif., and builds her terrariums in her plant-filled studio apartment in the Mission District. Her sleek creations, filled with the architectural, slightly alien shapes of her succulents, would not be out of place in a room furnished with midcentury modern pieces. She described making a terrarium as a sort of science experiment, albeit one conducted with color, texture and visual composition in mind.”

Best One-Stop Shop
New Outer Sunset art and design shop General Store seems adequately named, not just because its desirables span a wide range—from Botany Factory terrariums to Tellason selvage-denim jeans to old Navajo pottery—but also because the shop’s owners, betrothed surfers and artists Serena Mitnik-Miller and Mason St. Peter, also host art exhibits and local-band jam sessions complete with gourmet refreshments (think banh mi and lemonade). Did we mention the Jesse Schlesinger-designed greenhouse out back, filled with the summer’s finest produce? Shop, bop, harvest, eat, drink, repeat. That’s an order. 4035 Judah St., 415-682-0600, visitgeneralstore.com
Thank you 7×7!

SF Weekly Best of Award
Best Of Award
The best houseware stores are more like galleries than pure retail outlets. They’re run by curatorial folks who understand that there’s an art to decorating your apartment. The newly opened General Store keeps to the Outer Sunset’s laid-back, beachy vibe with one-of-a-kind items in a space beautifully designed like a flipped skate ramp (be sure to check out the wooden structure in the middle of the room). The store, run by artist Serena Mitnik-Miller and architect Mason St. Peter, sells giant prints of beach scenes, vintage turquoise jewelry, cactus planters, and other pieces for your walls, tables, and bodies. The old tools and the new coffee-table books blend seamlessly, and while the photography can hit the $700 mark, the price point drops to the $40s for, say, antique wool blankets.
Thank you SF Weekly!
