Everything except the Venetian crystal chandeliers is for sale inside best friends Vanessa Reyes and Suzan Burdan’s latest boutique (the duo ran the now closed Stella Gialla and Stella Gialla Decorum). The pair loves to resurrect other people’s castoffs from antique dealers and the Salvation Army with bright paint jobs (a salvaged dresser painted electric blue with new hardware, $750) and punchy textiles (wrought iron vanity chairs reupholstered with old graphic Ikea fabrics, $50), but you’ll also find the work of Queens indie designers, most of which cost $50 and under. Notable discoveries include Etsy darling Rainbow Swirlz’s robot attack tote bags ($20), Fire like the Betsey floral dresses ($48) and rompers ($30), and Ollie Lulu’s hand-crocheted jewelry ($20–$58) showcased on Two’s Company candlestick holders made from found wood ($18). Quirky items like a salt-and-pepper-shaker timer ($6) will make design-commitment-phobes feel the redecorating itch. 73-18 Metropolitan Ave at Rentar Plaza, Middle Village, Queens (718-326-0009). Tue–Sat 11:30am–7pm, Sun 11:30am–5pm.
