Home Economics - Grants Pass OregonThe British are Coming... The British are Coming... to Grants Pass Oregon!  There is a really quaint store, called Home Economics, on H Street in downtown Grants Pass Oregon that is featuring some pretty cool British designs. 

Proprietor, DeWayne Lumpkin, is basking in recent notoriety for showcasing vintage British transfer route bus signs and transforming the trendy designs onto fabrics at his Grants Pass Oregonstore.  The "small town store with big city style" was recently featured in Country Living Magazine as "prop stylists" for a Rogue Creamery article in the food section. 

The Grants Pass Oregon store touts "something for everyone - traditional with a twist - sizzling style at prices that don't burn budgets."  Home Economicsoffers British transfer route bus sign designs (taken directly from double-decker buses throughout great Britain circa 1940s through 1970s) in pillows, draper panels, unique upholstered pieces, tabletop accessories, bed skirts, and of course, the signs themselves! 

Home Economics shares a showroom with H Street Antiques at 138 SE "H" Street in Grants Pass Oregon.  Stop by and take a look at their cool inventory.  And tell them I sent you!

Wow, that's pretty unique and trendy for Grants Pass! (LOL).  Is this near Blind George's News Stand?  I always stop there for caramel corn, so I'll see if I can find Home Economics the next time I'm passing through.

Oh boy, being British, not sure it is up my street, but certainly unique.  Hope there are a lot of anglophiles up in Grants Pass.

hi Melinda -- wish they'd open up a store here in Portland!  Looks like a fun store to wander around in, whether you're British or any other heritage.  Must be a haven for collectors too.
