Crate and Barrel Outlet

I have to admit I take the Crate and Barrel Outlet for granted. Located about 7 blocks from where I work and about 2 miles away from where I live, I must have been in this store a thousand times. But many people don't know about it! Take for instance, Sukh Brar. He almost peed his pants when I took him in there for the first time.

It's on 4th street in Berkeley, next to Restoration Hardware. They have everything, the furniture, the sheets, the bowls, cups, the frames... And the prices are damn good. I have even bought Marimekko fabric there on the cheap. My fave is the back room where you can get furniture for a hefty discount. The last thing I got there was a large bright orange coffee mug for 3 bucks. Never, ever drink coffee from an office coffee cup. I saw on the news that office cups and sponges have an extraordinary amount of germs. You must BYOC.
