love the Burp

Urban Burp is a great place, well worthy of all it's Yelp love.

I've bought some small pieces there, but the owner definitely prefers working with larger orders. If you are willing to purchase larger pieces, she offers great discounts.

Also, don't be shy. If you do see what you are looking for, ask and she'll suggest something perfect.

Oh! This place is HEAVEN. I bought a beautiful piece of fabric for a pretty reasonable price. It is now framed and hanging on my wall, and looks stunning. I had SUCH a hard time deciding what to buy when I wanted to reupholster some furniture, because there are SO many great choices. The owner was immensely helpful, and now I feel really, really guilty that I found the perfect fabric instead at the Alameda Flea Market. If you live in the bay area, don't miss this store!
