Online Antiques at Three Potato Four

We first heard about Three Potato Four in the February/March issue of ReadyMade magazine and just spotted them again in the latest Real Simple. We’re thrilled to learn of this Reston-based antique store with a great online selection run by husband and wife Stu Eli and Janet Morales, self-proclaimed collectors with objectively great taste.

When ReadyMade talked to Stu and Janet, they shared their favorite places to eat, shop, and explore around the DC area. Well-known spots such as Taylor Gourmet, Pitango Gelato, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History made the list, but they also cited places and events we had never heard of—Lucketts Store looks amazing, as does the upcoming Summit of Awesome.

What really impressed us, though, was the incredible inventory available at Three Potato Four’s online shop. We could spend hours perusing their collection of reasonably priced antiques—everything ranging from old PepsiCo soda crates to a card catalog side table to colorful enamel mugs. Whether you’re in the market to accessorize your own place or pick out a gift for a friend or newly married couple (it’s wedding season!), you’re bound to find a variety of great options.

For updates to the store’s inventory, make sure to follow them on Twitter. If you’re interested in great photography, Stu and Janet also keep a great blog that gives readers a glimpse into the happenings of their family, including their two kids (the third and fourth potatoes). We think we might throw a Willy Wonka-themed party for some of our friends, too.
