Modern mavens Shawneric Hachey and Brian Latham, who opened the sleek Addo Novo furniture gallery on Congress Street about a year and a half ago, are at it again. The duo just opened a satellite shop called Addo Novo Home at 45 York Street, right next to the yummy Portland Pie. It's located in the same spot Whitney Art Works used to occupy before Deb and Peter Whitney moved to Congress Street (right next to the original Addo Novo).

I stopped in today and met the charming Tyler Kidder, who is managing the store. Here she's modeling a contemporary sofa, however, the store is primarily devoted to housewares, such as linens, dinnerware, lamps and accessories. The majority of the company's furniture collection can be found at the Congress Street location.

The selection of bedding is perfect for an urban space, and Tyler tells me another shipment from Italy is on its way.

You'll find lots of fun and colorful accessories in the store, all from well-known designers. Early next year the boutique will launch a bridal registry.

In the meantime, for the person you know who has everything, there's always the Philippe Starck Dr. Skud flyswatter with the designer's mug embedded in the mesh. It's yours for only $15.
