High quality furniture and home décor that has been “gently used” is sold at this shop that opened in 2012 in the art district at Gallery Row. Much of this second generation merchandise is from foreclosures, relocations or from interior designer upgrades, so everything is in excellent condition. It’s clear when you walk in that the store is not offering your standard thrift store fare. OBXConsign! carries sought-after brands like Broyhill, Stanley, Henry Link, Lexington, Lee Industries and American Drew at discount prices. Nearly every inch of every room is filled with fine tables, over-stuffed chairs, lamps, sofas, dining chairs, and outdoor wicker furniture. There is also a selection of local art, some Sally Huss products, and gift cards and prints. Consignments are accepted with a 90-day contract. When it’s sold, 60 percent goes to the seller, and 40 percent to the store.
Locally owned and operated, Rock-A-Bye Baby boasts that it is the only full service kids store on the Outer Banks. This store may look small from the outside, but don’t let appearances fool you. It is stuffed to the gills with charming, irresistible baby, toddler’s and young children’s brand-name clothing, toys and gear, from birth to size 7. Owner Cindy Floyd, who has been in children’s retail for more than 31 years, clearly knows her product lines. From merchandise for pregnant women and fun gifts for baby showers, to christening and baptism gifts and preemie and newborn items --- bedding, diaper bags, rattles --- to bowls, silverware, furniture, baby jewelry, baby slings, and of course, kiddie OBX T-shirts --- you can find it all here, both new and like-new. Need a pop-up beach cabana to keep Elmo out of the sun? It’s here! There’s also a great selection of first birthday party items, and furniture and gear are available to rent.
Themed on recycled and repurposed materials, Seagreen Gallery is one of the newest and most innovative art establishments on the Outer Banks. This is a great place to find a one-of-a-kind gift for someone who has everything.
From computer repair to home office supplies, Staples is the modern version of the old stationary store. And it does in fact sell stationary, as well as photo paper, printer paper, notebooks and legal pads. Nearly anything you need for a school project or an office presentation is available here, from pens to paper clips, to yes, staples. This chain store, located next to TJ Maxx in Nags Head, is well organized and has signs pointing customers to the products they need. In addition to standard office necessities, Staples also stocks a large supply of computer equipment and laptops; digital cameras and accessories; Kindle e-readers; digital recorders and GPS; wireless technology and accessories; and smart phone accessories. There is an excellent selection of computer programs, including for Mac. A variety of desks, file cabinets and rolling desk chairs can be found at the rear of the store.
This recently opened chain discount store was welcomed by many Outer Bankers, who appreciate a good deal and quality merchandise. Located on the border of Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills, its central Outer Banks location makes T.J. Maxx a popular destination for locals and visitors looking to save a little money on a designer item. Prices range from rock-bottom to merely affordable, but the inventory is always changing, so part of the fun is unearthing surprises. Shoppers can find everything from sexy lingerie to business suits and sportswear for women, to surf wear and jeans and dress pants for men. There’s also plenty of kids’ clothes, swimwear, home décor, beauty and cosmetic items and jewelry to browse. It’s just kind of fun to come in and see what T.J. Maxx has to offer week to week.
