a & g merch: an easy home indulgence

a&g merch signage

a&g merch is a funky furniture and home shop in the center of the bedford section of williamsburg.  it’s always worth going in to take a look to see what’s going on, and usually a&g merch will have something that you just must have, or could use.   while not as capitivating as the future perfecta&g merch is just much more affordable making a purchase actually possible.  on the big furniture side of things, they have a great selection of couches (a nice alternative to the standards of crate and barrel and west elm), including one from gus modern and the jane love seat all of which have lots of fabric options.  on my visit this summer, they had a bedford lounge covered in a very luxurious eggplant and a brooklyn heights sofa in a reddish gold tweed.  the prices seem to range from $1,500 up to $3,000.

a&g merch has plenty of this and that too. in the kitchen arena, they have a sun tea maker, souvenir mugs, a gnome citronella candle, pig shaped wooden bowls and lace placemats.   they also had lots of cute little decorative ceramics and vases in what must be a small animal obsession with owls, squirrels, reindeer and birds all on display.   for the more adventuresome, a&g merch had some wall decals of squids and skulls and paper mache billy goat heads.

a&g merch were also featuring the very cool stuff from re-co bklyn, a collaborative among three brooklyn craftsmen who use reclaimed and salvaged materials to create unique benches and side tables.   a&g merch also has pieces from brooklyn-based alsdesigns and a few different desks from the super stripped down to fancier works in walnut and other rich woods.  they have plenty of office chairs, relaxing chairs like this  komet roebling lounge chair ottoman and even some colorful glass side tables to round things out.  it’s a good spot for filling in the holes in your home!  a&g merch, 111 n. 6th street near berry streeet, brooklyn, new york, .
