Singular Sensations

“WEIRD THINGS FIND THEIR WAY TO ME,” says Lisa Foster, an interior architect and owner of the design firm Reconstructure. Foster has always had a passion for decorating spaces with one-off acquisitions from estate sales and auctions. After amassing enough treasures to fill a store, she did just that last winter, carving out a retail space, Source, in her design studio. “The aesthetic is certainly funky and definitely eclectic,” Foster says. “It ranges from fussy and whimsical to contemporary to just plain interesting. I like good design, period.”
