Sitting Pretty

Perch Boutique Opens

Sure, birds can sing, fly, and navigate without GPS. But when it comes to nesting, we’ve got them beat. (Who wants to live in a pile of scratchy twigs?)

Next time you feel the urge to flex your superior skills, flit over to Perch, a cozy new Glen Park boutique devoted to eclectic home decor.

Blonde wood shelves hold all manner of home accessories, from flea market vintage porcelain to beautiful Scandinavian tableware.

Take home colorful Dash & Albert rugs to warm floors. Sumptuous Claus Porto bath products will send you soaring. The shop also represents locally produced goods like East Bay’s Mediums to Masses glassware and textile designer Flowie’s hand-screen-printed linen bags.

When you need to communicate with the outside world, an array of lovely stationery is ready for your missives.

So you can rule your roost without leaving it.

Perch, 654 Chenery Street, between Diamond and Castro Streets (415-586-9000 or perchsf.com).
