Two Old Birds

In a repurposed old-​time gas station, Two Old Birds is really only a minor diversion away from the building’s original use. While there is no gas, there is plenty of vintage décor, such as glassware, frames, and furniture. Some of the furniture advantageously displays the other collection for which the shop is known: Chalk Paint and workshops for learning how to work with it. From what I saw and heard, it sounds pretty straightforward and much easier to work with than ordinary paint. The added bonus is that to get the paint, I won’t have to drive to their location on the other side of Raleigh to get it.
Unlike many shops of this kind, walking around without knocking something over is do-​able. There is lots of light, thanks to the large windows, and wide enough aisles to view the painted and unpainted furniture, or check out the glassware, the antiques, or even the scarves or jewelry.
It’s a nice store, and an even nicer addition to downtown Apex. It’ll be fun to watch the inventory change as the seasons change.
