July 10 Summer Event
Dona went on a buying trip to the East Coast and came back with fabulous vintage jewelry pieces to ignite your wardrobe. Big and bold to small but spectacular, you will find something you can’t live without. WMW received 7 handmade benches made from 300 year old beams from an old Chinese Temple. Each piece is unique and hand rubbed to show off the grain and color. Last but not least, WMW received a delivery from our favorite furniture painter, Vickie Torell, who uses colors that are fun and trendy. She specializes in silver leaf, hot pinks, bright turquoise and metallic blues.
Previous Event: Opening Launch, May 1, 2010
Dona Taylor will always remember the night of February 22. “I woke up in the middle of the night and said to my husband Bill,” I want to open a furniture business on 24th Street. Find me a place. And he did!” A few short weeks later, on Saturday, March 13, Taylor opened When Modern was on 4037 24th Street with the help of her husband, Bill Hoover. The high visibility on 24th Street has already paid off. On opening day at the new shop, she sold four dressers and five lamps, plus several jewelry pieces and other miscellaneous items. WMW formally celebrated her arrival on 24th Street on May 1, 2010 with a day long party open to all with catered food and drink, and music by Noe Valley singer/songwriter Frank Cefalu and Friends.
